Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dichotomy" data-source="post: 3344689" data-attributes="member: 12941">"I'll get what we need in order and return shortly."If no one objects, Konstantine procures the 130 platinum and the wand taken from the giant.  He also takes any coin contribution offered (notably Padraig's almost 3,000 gold of coins and gems).  Finally, he rifles through the deceased's possessions.  He grabs the coins they have and then a couple of things of worth.The bard then leaves the temple and tries to find the best places to: first, learn what the wand does and its worth; second, sell enough of the items to get the coin needed (even if that will take trips to several shops to get the best prices); three, find two gems of sufficient value for the spell.[sblock=OOC]Specifically I'm taking from Jasper: +1 mithral breastplate 5,200 gp; Adamantine Morningstar 3,008 gp; Amulet of Natural Armor +2 8000 gp; Ring of protection +1 2000 gp; coins 666 gpFrom Zagnak: Greatclub, Shock +1 8305gp; Cloak of Resistance +2 4000gp; Gloves of Ogre Power +2 4000gp; Amulet of Natural Armor +1 2000gp; coins ? (I didn't see any on his sheet)First, find out what the wand is (using the coins taken from Jasper and Zagnak to pay for identification) and sell it (whatever it is).  If more money is needed, first take from the coins taken from Jasper and Zagnak.  Then take from the platinum.  Then take from the contributions of the party members (which includes almost 3,000 from Padraig and a minor 350 from Konstantine, plus anything anyone else wants to add).  Then start selling Jasper and Zagnak's equipment to make up the difference: cut the remaining difference in half, allocate that between the two, and sell from each of them what is needed to cover their own share, hoping to sell as few of the items as possible (with the understanding that I'll likely only get roughly half the actual value).My rationale is that the wand, whatever it is, is something we didn't have before, so better to sell it than sell our belongings.  Then pay as much as possible using our cash (starting with the dead people's cash), since selling stuff means losing money (since buying it back later will cost more than what we sell it for).  We can owe Padraig later.  If we have to sell belongings, Konstantine is of the opinion that it should be their stuff.  He knows that the stuff he took is worth more than enough, but he took a variety so that he can sell things proportionate to what is actually needed (e.g. don't sell the 8,000 gp stuff if we only need 2,000).[/sblock]</blockquote>
