The mystery of Benfal (Moore, Tryll)

[Anastasia]

"For military use, there's iron and aurorum, as well as adamantine and cold iron," The archon says.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 on whatever the appropriate K is for 34 on aurorum since I don't think I've heard of that one

"Oh, how interesting. I guess it makes sense there'd be multiple types." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

Aurorum's in the BoED. Just go ahead and check it out there.

"Yeah, you don't see just one type of metal," Rouday says, "There's veins of different metals all throughout the mountain."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "It's probably the same type of thing that happens in the Mineral plane. Can you easily traverse different planes? Er... sorry if that's an ignorant question."

[Anastasia]

"I can't. I'm not a trumpet or tome," The hound archon leads you down the long, well lit cavern, "I know of the idea of other realms, but I've never been to another."

[Nephrite]

"Well, if you're ever interested in visiting Aurora, please feel free to contact me." Moore says. "We could develop some sort of trading route for you."

[Anastasia]

A simple nod to acknowledge it and then you're lead on. After a time you come to a larger cavern, the walls here worked and carved out. Sitting about are great stacks of metal ingots - metallic gray iron, bright gold, polished silver, whitish platinum, gleaming indigo aurorum and many more.

"It is said only those who are righteous and come here without greed in their heart can take metals from this room. If your crusade is just and your motives for these metals are pure, you can take some with you. If they are not, you will pay the wages of sin."

[Nephrite]

"I would feel terrible just taking these without offering you something in return for them." Moore says as he rubs his chin. "But I'm not sure what would be appropriate."

[Anastasia]

Rousay throws his head back and barks out a rough laugh, "Pixie, if your cause and heart are righteous, then I need no other payment. I am no dragon, hoarding treasures and reveling in my greed."

[Nephrite]

"Even still, one good act deserves a follow-up performance." Moore says. "Then I'll make you a promise that the next time our paths cross, I will return this generosity." He says firmly. He'll fly over to one of the piles of gray iron and pick up an ingot to deposit into his Haversack.

Presuming he doesn't die or get turned into a toad or something, he will repeat this process a few more times.

Let's say 15 ingots of each? It's hard for me to tell how much is "too much" so feel free to make a gut check call on that.

[Anastasia]

Name the metals you're taking for clarity and the total number of ingots.

[Nephrite]

15 ingots each of the listed ones,  iron, gold, silver, platinum, aurorum -- you said 'many more' so does that mean many more types of ingots? If so, 15 of those also. If the piles of ingots only contain something like 20 then this would change how many he's taking. He's really trying to avoid being selfish here, I feel like this is one of those scenarios where two Canadians are trying to get the other to go in a door first and get into an endless loop of 'after you'.

[Anastasia]

We'll just stick to the listed ones for the sake of simplicity. So 75 bars total. Metal's heavy, what's the weight limit on your pouch and do you have to carry that weight?

[Nephrite]

I have a Handy Haversack, so there's no problem there. You think I don't come prepared for egregious looting???

[Anastasia]

Well, a standard bar of gold weighs around 27 pounds and your haversack can carry up to 120 pounds, so yes, that is a concern. What's your strength score?
