Rin slash I suggest looking into potenTially parting with the following:
-the three spells scrolls
-the platinum necklace (but NOT the jewelry box)
-the bag full of bat guano bc if they can get money for shit u knoW they will try it
-possibly the iron pendant with the devil's face if no one can see any use in it; Rin doesn't care for it and thinks it's in questionable taste.
-from the loot box in the ghoul room: the chain shirt, mess kit, and bullseye lantern

They'll offer Fae the thieves' tools, in case he’d like them?

Rin will of course hear arguments against any of these, or arguments for selling anything else.

[note: Fae can use the Protection from Poison

!! oh shit nice! Then that scroll shall be handed to Fae!]

Also. Rin is going to suggest that Sen handle the bartering. Since he seems to be very convincing and they know that they can be— Less. So.

<.>

Sen will take up this cause and the dm will do some math here.

Over the course of the afternoon, Sen manages to barter for:

8gp for the lantern
500ishgp for the necklace to a nobleman he encounters and convinces of its value
150gp for the spell scrolls
48 gp for the chain shirt and mess kit together to a passing adventurer.

The bat guano, he trades to a farmer for a hide that isn't marketable quality, but which Sen thinks will be of use as they move north. Warmth.

He can't find any takers for the pendant, so he pockets it.

<.>

Rin suggests they should mossstly divide it evenly but also Sen should get a little more of the cut because he did the bartering!

Dima suggests that Sen has already padded his pockets with gold from Wythall, at the very least. :/

But.

Dima won't argue far on this.

<.>

Sen rolling his eyes will fish out the fifty gold from Wythall and contribute it to the pile, then ask if anyone else is holding out on things looted, hMmM?

And Sen will be a good sport and throw in the 50, as well.

<.>

Rin! JUST REMEMBERED! They reach into the bag and pull out two dancing alabastar skeletons. "One was mine. These are for selling."

[note: Sen can get about 50gp for each. The macabre nature makes people reluctant to buy them.]

Rin is going to keep the third for now, though they soft soft promise the party that if they find a Very Interested buyer sometime, they will part with it.

…And. Actually. Feeling rather bad that they've kept several items. They will reluctantly suggest selling the jewelry box.

Which Dima is going to veto.

Just in case. Any children might want it.

<.>

Faolan and Sen both, possibly unprompted, will argue against selling the shortsword or the hand crossbow, and think Rin should keep both.

No one mentions the skin bag Dima has.

<.>

Rin appreciates this! And is inclined to agree! But also.

They did HAVE a shortsword before, as well as a shortbow. So they'll offer these to anyone in the group who might want them. If no one wants or can use them, they suggest holding on at least the bow for later potential use or selling.

<.>

Sen will take the bow, thank yoU.

SHORTBOWS DON’T JAM.

<.>

...Though Rin now remembers the ghoulskin cloak. And asks if they should be keeping that or getting it away from their party.

<.>

Faolan just. Holds out a hand for it, folds it up, and stashes it in his bag.

Never know. Nights get cold.

<.>

If no one's taking the shortsword, Rin votes sell it.

[dm: There was also a folded cloak and the potions of healing were in a small wooden coffer.

ARC, d: 19

Dima can almost immediately tell it's a cloak of protection.]

Dima immediately suggests keeping this.

<.>

On learning what it is and does, I feel like Sen and Faolan would not like emphatically suggest Dima wear it, but also they keep looking at him. And saying yes the party should keep it.

<.>

L o o K. Dima wasn't going to claim it for himself. But. Dima recognizes. It would probably be useful for him.

<.>

A lot of this discussion takes place over a hot meal in a tavern near the docks. The ghoulish items spread on the table before the party; passers-by give them wide berth and other patrons keep glancing at them warily.

However, one man on his way past doubles back, then interrupts them to ask if they're selling those things at the Nightmare Market.

<.>

Dima just looks at them. Very casually. Very 'if you have a problem come over and speak it.'

Rin occasionally hisses at passersby. Just for fun.

[q: Would Rin or Sen know anything about this market :o?
a: Sen and Fae have never heard of it.
HIST, r: 8, d:11
ARC, d: 19; Dima has a kneejerk negative reaction to the mention of the Nightmare Market, as it has the same reputation in Morovsk and Novorometz as fairy circles and Bigfoot. And as a respectable necromancer, he gave absolutely none of his time indulging that myth.
dm: And if Dima mentions it being a myth, Sen's arcana check allows him to relay the gist.]

Dima, in this case. Is going to helpfully look at the man and say, very firm, "Move along, won't you."
