Regarding the wand-smuggling-plot in Book 2:
Nilasa was going to pay the Grinning Griffon 10,000 gp in cash, and a whole lot more in paper-money. On the night of the 4th, I'm assuming everything is already loaded up and ready to go, with the money onboard the Silvo.
But my PCs as pushing hard into the smuggling subplot, and though it's the morning of the 3rd, they are now likely to hit up Deorn Feldmen's house, or the Family Wharf.
I guess I should mention that I found it a little unclear as to exactly how Deorn was related to the Family. But since Nilasa's receipt mentioned Deorn's name and the Family Wharf location, I took them to be different places. (Also, Deorn doesn't have the "part of the family" feat.) And only on the night of the 4th, would Deorn sail the Silvo to the Family Wharf, and then hook up with the Bravuras. (It's the Bravuras who run/own the Family Wharf.) That's also when the House Elf and Nilasa would show up.
Under the original plan (i.e. before Nilasa died), I assumed that the money was with her, and that she would be bringing it to the dock. However, now that's she dead, where is the money? Who collects it, and who brings it to the Family Wharf? (And why doesn't this person run off with the 10,000gp in cash, giddy with glee?)
I'm guessing that's it's in the care of the Bravuras, and that Deorn doesn't get his hands on it until the night of the 4th. Which means if my PCs hit up the Family Wharf on the morning of the 3rd, they can get their hands on the money, and cancel the operation that way.
Anyone see any issues with that? Has this come up for any other group?
