Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
I'll probably run an NPPC as a stop gap for a bit and then when I have time later this week post out a recruitment and see if we can get lucky.

@DrK
Wasn't Amin's "lady friend" Cordelia his cousin Cassandra earlier in the IC thread?

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
Winifred's thinking is that she is in a position to allow one or two noble houses to gain the gratitude of the new monarch and that accordingly she's doing them a favour far more than the reverse (because this thing is basically worthless to her)
Also by using the language of favour rather than monetary value she's implicitly trying to act in those sort of circles rather than as a mere hireling.

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
@wilphe
Re the dagger, I interpreted the bishop as intending to take the dagger to consult his sages, but in retrospect it's not really clear. I'll edit my post if DrK confirms your understanding.
Also, do you think you could stick to one post at a time? It's sometimes hard to follow what Winifred is doing or saying when there are multiple posts in a row.
@all
Rather than do an IC post about it, let's assume that Cassian has also given Winifred and Andrei 10 gc each from the money Amin gave to him.Last edited by rax; 2021-07-10 at 01:58 PM.

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
The bishop didn’t take the dagger
He was going to speak to team sage and ask for opinions /adviceThanks to Emperor Ing for the nice Avatar

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
The killer who is definitely dead and won't be looking for revenge in that case.
Do we need somewhere to stash all this loot?
I'm hoping getting Andrei readmitted to the Academae at some point might make getting that book a little easier. Otherwise I suppose I'll be looking into getting it second hand.

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
I haven't seen anything that says the LockKey Killer is dead only that the killings stopped and both Bishop and Marshall consider them still being alive to be a possiblity
Clearly we need to find Crazy Steve's Emporium of Trading Random Art Objects for Books

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
Yeah, it seems likely. We may need to look at who exactly the victims were.
On the book thing. I have no idea if that's possible but it's seems worth looking into. Maybe there's a magic item black market.

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
I was wondering if carrying that dagger around would make Winifred a target and whether doing so was worthwhile to draw him out
Then I realised that is probably moot because if they are alive then they will find out that Lamm is dead and soon after that we killed him.

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
Or maybe Lamm had the dagger for the same reason he had all the other loot - he nicked it.
Re loot
I've written Cassian's family as being poor by the standards of nobility but they still have a townhouse in North Point. That should be a safe location to stash our loot until it can be sold off.
According to the core rulebook, religious symbols are common items, usually made of wood, and worth 1 gc (table 5-11 Miscellanea). The abalone shell might be worth a bit more since Lamm decided to hang onto it.
An armoire seems like a stretch when looking for an equivalent to a cigar case. An armoire is significantly bigger, so the wood alone would be worth more. A small wooden chest (2 gc in Old World Armoury) or a tube case (1 gc) are probably closer in size.
The rest of the stuff is clearly art or jewellery in some form. Prices for jewellery can be found in Old World Armoury but I've no clue where to find the value of art objects specifically.

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
Its quite possible that he nicked it, but its also a valid line of enquiry.
Also even the possibility of vengeful serial killer sounds worth considering
++++++++=

Fair I overlooked those, I knew it was too small to be an armoire but it is also teak with jade inserts rather than plain wood.
Art, Sculpture and the like are table 10.4 below jewellery
As the Holy Symbol is of Shelyn and its a special material I am presuming it is worth something as an art object - she is deity of art and beauty after all but again I think it might be more useful to us to return it to the church

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
Ah, right, there they are. Was looking at the name of the table, that's why I didn't notice the sub-headers.
Sure, but abalone is basically a sea shell - not all that special a material. There's a religious relic entry that sets the cost at 5 gc IIRC, but certainly Cassian would want to return the symbol rather than sell it. Money isn't his prime motivator, after all.

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
Winifred's check identtifies the woman as Lady Andasain, a refugee of sorts from Nidal (if the rumours are true) and a recent friend to the Queen.
Unless you have more to discuss with the queen you can leave and will be escorted out by Sabina and back to the castle gates

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
We should probably be careful where we spend these...
Also someone has worked really fast to prepare the dies and mint these - unless of course they were ready to go
Oh wait, each.
Never mind
Well that's enough then to get armour and helmet Winifred wants, which are not trappings for anything in particular but I think a worthy investment in not dying.
Do you want to abstract out shopping or is there some downtime coming?Last edited by wilphe; 2021-07-23 at 01:49 PM.

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
Also:
100 coins = 10 points of encumbrance
And at 1oz per coin = 6 1/4 lb or 2,8 kilos
It will ruin your pocket, but its not too much to carry around for a bit

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
Nearly three kilos is indeed quite a bit of weight to be putting in your pockets, assuming such a thing even exists in the clothing of our pseudo-medieval game.
The volume of 100 coins is also likely to be considerable, so I'd suggest it's a difficult sum to carry about in anything but a backpack or a sack. If your characters have those, there should be no trouble transporting the coins, but it's likely to be a noisy business if they're just sliding around in the pack/sack.Last edited by rax; 2021-07-24 at 04:22 PM.

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
Well we all have backpacks or bags
You also get, regardless of career, the
following:
• Common clothing consisting of a shirt, breeches, and worn
boots, a tattered cloak, a dagger tucked in a boot or belt, a sling
bag or a backpack containing a blanket, a wooden tankard, a
wooden cutlery set, a hand weapon (axe, club, sword, etc.) and
a purse holding 2d10 Gold Crowns (gc).
I agree we don't want to be carrying this around for long, that's why I want to get rid of the outstanding misc items.Last edited by wilphe; 2021-07-24 at 05:39 PM.

Re: DrK Crimson Throne OOC
As in it suggests we have ties to an unpopular Queen? Should be easy enough to test.
And a quick google suggests pockets were a thing. Or I suppose I could claim that wizards developed them to hold spell ingredients and so forth.
Having money is surprisingly inconvenient. Maybe I need to work out something expensive to spend it on.
