She has the funds to make purchases as needed, as long you don't mind gold/platinum coins and trade markers. She can also write a legally binding (within Malaines, though most elven settlements in the area would honor it) demand note for the money if you'd prefer that.

Well, since Gildas basically made the first purchase by himself, he will consult with the others to get their opinions.

Anastasia

For information, a quick primer.

A demand note is a legally binding document, essentially a formal IOU. You can present it at any elven city or settlement that honors it to receive that money on demand. Of course local realities may make this difficult (not many have all that much loose coin sitting around), but they're an extremely simple way to carry a lot of cash. Of course, the downsides are rather obvious. An elven demand note will generally be honored in any elven settlement or city once properly verified. It's possible that elven merchants may accept a verified note in payment, but most of the time a demand note can't be used to buy or sell things.

This is something your town could do one day if you get bigger.

I figure we're best off getting shiny money since the kobolds won't care for paper money, and they're gonna be our biggest trade/labour source at the beginning.

Also having money I can hold would be nice.

Anastasia

Also, are you selling everything or will you be keeping parts of it?

A string of silver balls cored out and made into a necklace - Silverball necklace. It's noted that design is from the eastern human lands and was in favor with nobles a century ago. 200 gold.
Several bits of steel jewelry - Assorted steel jewelry. It comes to a total of 39 gold and 4 silver.
Shards of various precious and semi-precious metals - This is hard to price. She'll offer you 50 gold for it all and this write up assumes that you agree to that. She concedes you may be able to get more if you shop the better fragments around to the right sellers. It's a mish-mash as it stands.

lets sell all these for 289 gp, 4sp, and use that to pay her fee leaving 136gp, 8sp, 8cp for us to divide as money and leave the rest for barter goods?

Corwin

Let's bring the potion of remove fear with us when we go places, just in case. I also want to keep the CLW potion to see how it might compare to the healing water we have. The rest should be sold, I think, since the kobold trader said prices for gems were dropping and there's no demand for them. If we do get something people want to buy, we can hold off on that.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Ebiris

Okay, per Cor's suggestion we'll keep the following for later bartering or usage:

Silver pendant - Silver-plated pendant. 10 gold.
Silver chain - Silverlink chain. 45 gold.
Silver ring - Silver and mithril ring. 280 gold.
Butterfly pin wrought of gold - Fake gold butterfly pin.  2 gold.
A string of silver balls cored out and made into a necklace - Silverball necklace. It's noted that design is from the eastern human lands and was in favor with nobles a century ago. 200 gold.
Gold ingot - Gold ingot. 500 gold. This ingot isn't stamped (odd) but it's a standardized measure. Unfortunately Elya doesn't know any more about it. 
Potion of Remove Fear - 50 gold.
Potion of Cure Light Wounds - 50 gold.


And sell all of these:

Several bits of steel jewelry - Assorted steel jewelry. It comes to a total of 39 gold and 4 silver.
Blue gemstone - Fake sapphire (glass) - 1 gold.
Red gemstone - Fake ruby (glass) - 1 gold.
Clear gemstone - Fake diamond (glass) - 1 gold.
Clear gemstone - Goshenite beryl. 300 gold.
Purple gemstone - Fake amethyst - 1 gold.
Shards of various precious and semi-precious metals - This is hard to price. She'll offer you 50 gold for it all and this write up assumes that you agree to that. She concedes you may be able to get more if you shop the better fragments around to the right sellers. It's a mish-mash as it stands.
8 potions (magical) - See below.
Potion of Shield of Faith+3 - 300 gold.
Potion of Hide from Undead - 50 gold.
Potion of Hide from Undead - 50 gold.
Potion of Protection from Arrows 10/magic - 300 gold.
Potion of Cat's Grace - 300 gold.
Potion of Eagle's Splendor - 300 gold.

Totals up to 1,693gp and 4sp

Less appraisal fee of 152gp, 5sp, 2cp that comes to 1,540gp, 8sp, 8cp

Divided between the four of us we each get 385gp, 2sp, 2cp

Anastasia

That works. I'll update things in a few, pending a chance for any other comments.

Gold ingot from communal loot and 30gp from Porridge monies paid for kobold mined stones.

Anastasia

For bookkeeping purposes:

Gildas

Your unarmed strikes/natural attacks gain the verminbane property. They gain a +1 enhancement bonus.

Feather

Your bastard sword gains the verminbane property. If it isn't already +1, increase to +1.

Porridge

Your axe gains the verminbane property. If it's not +1, increase it to +1.

Myann

Her longsword becomes +1, verminbane.

Everyone got essentially the same thing. Material weapons were prioritized over natural ones when possible, and natural/unarmed strikes were favored over magic. If someone had no magic, natural/unarmed strikes or weapons, they'd lose out entirely. Not that I expected this to happen.

Bringing our potion of remove fear and five 'potions' of fresh lake water.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Ebiris

Porridge fills up the 2 empty bottles from the two CLW potions he had at chargen with spring water. He will hold them.

Nephrite

I think Gildas has one empty potion bottle, so he will fill up one.

Anastasia

Party gains two mysterious kobold bombs.
