On the edge of chaos

Zeiss, i can go with you to the Sareth spot if you want. I'm not terribly busy right now, except for babysitting the crew, and i think Jenna might be a bit tired of seeing my face at this point.

Sure, why not? Before you do, you could give her some money so she can buy some supplies for the crew. But you make the decision.

I was planning on that, but i'm not sure how much is right. I'd think roughly as much as i spent on the food would be good, but i don't know how much that was.

Say, 100 gold? 200? If i get crazy with my spending, even this much money might not last me long.

From what Arch said, one piece of platinum is worth $10 000. So one piece of gold is worth $10 I guess.

No a gold is $100.

Well I'm confused. Are 1000 pieces of gold still worth one piece of platinum? In other words:

1 gp ($100) x 1000 = 1 pp ($100 000)
1 pp x 1000 = 1 writ ($100 000 000)

So, 20g - $2000 would be reasonably reasonable an amount, huh?

I don't want to seem indecisive, but this is money. Gotta use it carefully.

Arch, the last time I paid my employees, it cost me 592 gp. With these ex-bandits, how much will it cost me? I'm asking because I made an excel sheet to keep track of the money.

I will make up a number later Zeiss.
Currency in the new economy:
1c = $1
1s = $10
1g = $100
1p = $10,000
1w = $100,000

Oh. So that ring of sleep actually cost me 2 pieces of plat. *writes writes writes*

Thank you.

Rory, you have 5 pieces of plat and 100 pieces of gold, not 1000.

Also, I think we're going to need you with us near the place Sareth was held.

Wait what? No it didn't...

It cost 200gp, which is pretty much 2 pp. That's what the math tells me anyway.

After some thought... I've decided that yes it cost 2 plat.

I'm fine with that plan, Zeiss, but why give me the Platinum when all they've asked is 500g (i have that on pocket)? Heck, i should be giving YOU my money, under the circumstances.

Also, isn't the lady called Korben (Dallas)?

Oh yeah, we decided that. Yup, she's Korben.

Also, per the new economy, 100gp = 1 plat.

Suddenly that Leycite is worth a whole lot less.

Regardless, i'll take my own money. No sense having me overloaded with Cash to meet people who want to rob us.

Sure. And thank you. Time to write my actions then.

Sorry it took so long to post, but i was wrestling with a problem between UE4 and Blender, and that combination can be a real bastard when it wants to.

Don't worry about it K.

Also, I'm thinking that Sareth pretended to be the Warlord of the Holtburg Bloc so they would ransom him and not just outright kill him.

That does sound like a thing he would do.

Sareth has been in Arch's control for some time now, per my request. I've had no complaint of his portrayal of my character, like ever. So I won't dictate what he would do. I think Arch got it.

Say, guys, it's been a lot of days now since we knew there was gonna be a coup. Did i misread something, and am mistakenly thinking it hasn't happened yet?

Because if not, we're not doing a whole lot to prevent it. Shouldn't we at least contact Lightmane or something?
