Loot Thread:

[Anastasia]

Antenora will claim the Ring of Beauty, will sort out costs and owes and whatever after session.

[Corwin]

Selling:

Cloak of Resistance +5 [25,000gp] : +5 resistance to Fort, Ref, Will : Red, a grinning, burning skull displayed prominently on its back. Ah, memories~
Silvered Holy Longsword +1. [18,000gp]

Buying:

Diadem of Int +4 [16,000gp]
Boots of the Mountain King, Greater [21,500gp] : page 78 of the MIC. Stoneskin 1/day (swift), CL15. Easier movement through rubble, rough terrain, up/downhill, etc.

Leaving with Elle:

Shades of Mindarmor, in hopes she can make them SEE EVIL. Maybe with a cool HUD or something, I dunno.

[Corwin]

Crafted Secure Shelter scroll (lvl4), -350gp

[Taishyr]

Purchasing 2 teleports (paying for the return one in advance) from Elle and one Sending scroll. Teleport scrolls are 1,125 gp each, Sending is 700, total this is 2,950, presuming Elle charges the scroll cost for the teleports.

This brings Deme to 23500-2950=20550.

Leonal Armor: This plate armor is fashioned to make the wearer appear to be a leonal. The helmet is shaped to look like a maned lion's head, and its wearer looks out of the roaring, tooth-filled mouth. This +4 full plate allows the wearer to make claw attacks that deal 1d10 points of damage and strike as holy weapons. The wearer gains a +7 to any save against disease or disease effects.

50,000 GP.

[Ebiris]

Since Deme doesn't want it we'll sell the full plate and get 16,666gp each for the PCs.

Alicia's loot from the house of Mr. Rafadi:

1 box of gold bullion: Oddly, on examination, each bar is ever so slightly underweight.  It should be around 11,000 gold if it the bars weren't short shrifted, but they're only worth about 10k or so. It's within a few gold of it, give or take.

1 box of silks: 6,000 GP.

1 bag of gems: 3,000 GP.

[Anastasia]

This isn't really loot, but you know what? Fuck it. I've always wanted have you guys win a collection of pliant girls. No, no reason.

Seriously though:

30 working girls in total. This doesn't include bouncers, kitchen staff or other miscellaneous sorts.

1 int 5
1 int 7
4 int 8
6 int 9
8 int 10
6 int 11
2 int 12
1 int 14
1 int 16

Most are decent enough folks. Most are happy enough to stay on board as long as they don't take a paycut. Most have an undercurrent of desperation - the pay, even at barrelscrapings compared to the income taken in, is better than most other work they could get. Talents range across the board, a lot of dancing, a touch of singing and the arts, a fair spectrum of cooking, sewing and some odds and ends. Most of them don't know a trade or anything like that, even the bright ones are relatively uneducated. They're all willing to try something new at Alicia and Marie's insistence, though.

[Ebiris]

For the first week or so team Alicia will be remaining at the inn to ensure a smooth transition, while it will be closed for remodelling for a couple of days as we get our ducks in a row.

The place will also be renamed the Reveller's Oasis.

Most of the girls will continue working as serving girls/dancers - if there isn't one already we'll have a proper stage built in the place. Those with the inclination will be employed as singers, and if any have any talent with instruments I'll go out of my way to procure masterwork instruments for them to play. Any with an inclination for cooking will find new work, as we'll add in a full kitchen so that the place can serve meals as well as drink. The one with 16 int will be tasked with administration duties, being groomed towards running the place when we're not around. I'll also see how they feel about acting, since Alicia enjoys theatre and running plays here would be nice.

In terms of attire I'll try and find a suitably talented tailor (I'll go back to the Endless Plains if necessary) to make uniforms patterned on the Plainswalker Robes for everyone, in deep red silk.

I'll try and find good deals for staple food suppliers in Wetwind to keep the place going if I'm indisposed, but primarily (especially in the beginning as we try to build our reputation) Alicia will source exotic ingredients/drinks from their original locations via teleportation in order to save costs - she should get a great deal on Kelaran wines through her family after all. She'll also plane shift to Brightwater in order to acquire specialty ingredients and drinks.

Since the sad truth is that neither Alicia nor her two outsider friends are especially artistic, she'll also look out for any talented bards on her travels who'd be willing to assist in the tuition of her lovely female staff, who would naturally be compensated for their time.

Whatever can be paid out of the establishment's budget is great, but these big changes coupled with a few days of no business as we remodel will probably require a hefty initial outlay - luckily Alicia recently acquired a fair amount of cash to put towards the endeavour.

edit: Actually one thing Alicia can help is teaching the fine art of conversation. Since she's one of the most diplomatic mortals who ever lived she can surely provide some valid instruction there, and open up another avenue for the girls to keep customers entertained and boost their confidence.

[Ebiris]

Alicia sells Imp Loot, note that 5,000gp was spent purchasing the inn and 4,000gp on getting it up to scratch.

She still has a fair amount of cash handy right now, so commissions the following magic items:

A bracelet of CL 1 Benign Transposition, command word activated and usable at will, for Marie. The spell is on page 27 of the Magic Item Compendium. Should only cost 1,800gp (1 x 1 x 1,800, bracelet spot corresponds to Allies so it's an appropriate slot)

A one use Bracelet of Friends keyed to Alicia for Jessica. Comes in at 4,750gp.

And a Portable Hole for Alicia, worth 20,000gp.

Total comes to 26,550gp, which she can just barely afford.

[Anastasia]

Okay, purchases are fine.

[Anastasia]

2 apple sized diamonds: 20,000 GP each.

[Taishyr]

Upgrades for Pollyanna, PD Slayer:

+2 Dex gloves (4,000)
+2 Con amulet (4,000)
Minor Cloak of Displacement (24,000)
Darkwood heavy shield, animated, +2 (16,100)

Total: 48,100.

This puts Demedais at 12,550.

[Anastasia]

Detect evil to Seira's glasses costs 4k, Seira.

[Corwin]

Incidentally, how much to tack on Detect Good/Law/Chaos onto them, also at will? I believe that when the abilities are similar, the cost of extra stuff gets a discount.
