Ice Island Treasure

Skaya, Liza and Sanda all gained 14,774.75 from this, and so did Orange but he's not really here, but the total reflects it being divided four ways.

You also have Jessa's Jacket, which didn't have a price on it since it's hard to identify. Maybe Spine would find interest in it?

The lockbox indeed was never adjudicated.

Mister DM, can I please get a price on the following:

Mourning Ore

Mourning Ore is said to be from the realms of the yugoloths, such as Gehenna. While similar to steel, it has no advantages when forged into armor. When made into a weapon, a Mourning Ore weapon inflicts Crushing Despair on the creature struck (DC 23 Will negates.) Weapons made of Mourning Ore cost an additional +10000 gold.

Caverns beneath Mellanics loot
Lockbox full of gold and silver coins.

The mourning ore was part of a weapon already priced, so that's just the description of it. No money for that, it's already factored in.

Could you double check about the lockbox never being resolved real quick?

I think this now makes sense. However! There is older loot we never actually dealt with (perhaps everything after https://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php?msg=1200882). Want to tally it up, and list the sources?

Just doing large pearls:

Notable Shark Raider Loot
Wand of Internal Assault — 220 LP

Amulet of Natural Armor +1 — 10 LP

Pouch of pearls — 9 LP

Underwater Raiders Loot
Scattered pearls — 2 LP

Coralstick (Divine Power) — 9 LP

First Search of the Rooms
Pouches of pearls & coral — 22 LP

Stashes of jewelry, gold, fine things — 200 LP

Black pearl key — 2 LP
Stack of gold bars — 147 LP

Second Search of the Rooms
Piles of gold, pearls, coral — 450 LP

Weapons & armor (bulk) — 20 LP

Larger treasure pieces — 82 LP

Magical Items
Shedainea — 8 LP
Artinar — 150 LP
Melia's Magnificent Monocle — 250 LP

220+10+9+2+9+22+200+2+147+450+20+82+8+150+250+280+500=2,361

That looks right, but maybe I'm including things we're not selling?

20 coral shards=1 gold coin.
1 small pearl=15 gold coins.
1 large pearl=100 gold coins.

Large pearls, small pearls, and coral shards totaled:
Large pearls: 2,361
Small pearls: 218
Coral shards: 1,972

In gold form, this is a total of: 239,468.6, Devar will toss in the difference to make this 239470:

Let's pretend we're giving the refugees 10% of this value (23,947), then we get:

Skaya, Sanda, Devar, Rina, Anne, Liza: 35,920.5

All of this is pending how much we actually give to the survivors, but just posting the numbers for now.

Not bad for our haul. I propose a different division.

239,470gp total
-23,947gp (10% for the rescued people) - sure, that gets my vote unless Spine suggests otherwise.
-65,000gp for the Necromancy Staff (Waves of Exhaustion/Waves of Fatigue)
-30,000gp for the Wall of Ice wand
-30,000gp for the Feybone Arcana

The above 3 items would be party gear, to try out in our next bandit hunt, since they provide battlefield control and ways to deal with multiple non-planar enemies.
If they don't serve us well, we can sell them after an adventure or two and recover most of the cost, before splitting it back 6 ways.

That said, I don't understand how you counted it. Even when I tried to count absolutely every large pearl including magical items, I didn't reach your number. Did you start from "Notable shark raider loot." and go from there?

Assuming you had, after party purchases we'll have 90,523gp.
That gives each of us six 15,087gp each.
Then if someone wants to buy a sword or gloves or that fireball spellgem, they can either add some of their existing funds, sell an old item (sword?) or borrow from others.

Thoughts?

Spine would have a good idea of how much wealth will get them in Aquariar, does she have any opinion?

Anne would suggest giving them enough to be taken care of for quite some time, but not so much as to invite uncontrolled indulgence. Too much wealth too fast can lead to ruin. Exactly what that looks like depends on prices in town.

Sanda is fine with 10%, she knows that'll work well.

Rina would suggest 20% or more. Possibly some form of investment that will take care of them, such as land or reserves.

Liza thinks 10% is more than enough, as long as it doesn't fail a common sense check by locals. She's flexible, though.
