Loot (Skaya)

[Anastasia]

I'm not seeing exact money for the Fortress of Lem payout from Spine, so let's go with 5,000 for the party. If I'm tired and missed it/forgot to record it in my notes, speak up.

[Corwin]

This is the relevant agreement:

19:25 <Kotono> "Right now, I seek a staff that throws ice and blasts of raw force. I've heard reports of people being attacked a fe whours away from Aquariar by a merman with it, and robbing others blind. The city's stretched too far to handle it themselves." Spine explains.
19:25 <Devar> "That ought to be easy enough to locate." Devar surmises. "Someone harassing people like that needs to be dealt with."
19:26 <Skaya> So it's a bandit! Those tend to be on the rich side. "Does it attack just about anyone, lone travelers, something else?"
19:32 <Kotono> "So far, indiscriminately," Is the answer, "At least two deaths confirmed to them, and looting as well. The survivors want their goods back as well, if they can be found. In this case what was taken was coral and pearls, which is the local currency, as well as gold jewelry. You'll be awarded twenty five percent of the value of those, fifty percent of whatever the value of the staff,  rights to
19:32 <Kotono> anything else the bandit has that can't be confirmed and a flat fee of 5 large pearls."
19:32 <Kotono> Sanda chews on that a moment, "And your gratitude as a shopkeeper with resources and magic," Sanda goes ahead and says it out loud.
19:32 <Kotono> "Five large pearls?" Anne asks, curious sounding. "I'm not familiar with the local currency."
19:33 <Skaya> "It sounds like a clear enough task that can test our skills properly," Skaya muses. It's probably intended to test she and Anne's integrity as well.
19:33 <Kotono> "In short," Nibelle pipes up, "Oh, I just went over this. One of your gold coins is equal to twenty coral shards, and a small pearl is worth fifteen gold coins. A large pearl is worth one hundred gold coins."
19:34 <Kotono> "And if the staff is cursed, and has little value?" Anne adds a that, thoughtfully. "I know cursed items are often cheaper or effectively unsalable."
19:35 <Kotono> "The fee is meant to cover those possibilities," Spine answers, "As I am not yet aware of its full powers or history."

It was in general, right?
I assumed the same would be kept for everything, so we're getting 5,000gp for the fortress. What about the staff?

[Anastasia]

8500 for the staff.

Normally you'd be getting these in pearls and coral, but Spine had time to prepare and assumed you'd prefer surface coins. If you want otherwise, say so.
