Snerp sighs at the unfortunate circumstance and heads back to the Vistani camp where the others are mulling about which of the treasures to take.

Snerp approaches Luvash
Can you tell me about the throne and rug? Like where either is from or who made it?
(What are the stones in the cross? How big is it? How much of an inlay is there rough estimate weight Wise? Pound or more?)
Luvash shrugs: We get things from various places and accumulate them over time. Who's to say where it came from?
(What cross?)
-->
@drafterman
(whoops, i mean the throne.)
(It's big enough for a average sized human to sit in. The stones are various colors, bot decorative. Sure, we'll say about a pound of gold)
-->
@Earth
(How big are the chests?)
(double D's!!! but yeah we need to be able to carry whatever we choose)
(Alright, you guys gotta make a decision about which loot item you're taking)
Loot:
- A wooden chest filled with electrum pieces (each containing the visage of Strahd)
- An smaller iron chest filled with unmarked gold pieces (about half as many coins as above)
- An onyx jewelry box with gold filigree containing 3 diamonds and 3 bags of diamond powder.
- A wooden throne with gold inlay and decorative stones.
- A rolled up rug with an exquisite unicorn motif
- A small wooden box containing twelve unmarked potions.

those are the only viable options I see, but tbh I don't see the gold having the potential of being useful to us any time soon.

(Ah yes, I'll just take note that you actually dont need or want silver weapons because they cost gold and gold isnt useful. Should we run across a purveyor of magical items, I'll also be sure to remind you that gold is useless and as such anything one might get with it, equally useless 😂
But hey, if you want to be suckered into taking potions that, if not useless, well into the range of thousands worth of gp when all other options are at best maybe 700-800gp worth? Suckering you into being ripped off must be entirely easy 😂.
"Look, i know the value of these items if there is actually a use for them, is well beyond the value of anything else here, but people never sucker anyone into taking useless things, amirite?"
Sure, while we're talking about people always being forthright and honest, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale you are sure to be interested in 😏

@drafterman
(my votes on the gold.)

@TheDredPriateRoberts

(Coins are 50 to a pound, hence why 1lb. of gold is 50gp in value. 500 gold(450-550) would be 9-11 pounds.)

@Buddamoose
(it takes a week to make one, once we find someone who can do it, doesn't seem very realistic, if you look back to the times Drafter has told us about it, I get a strong impression this isn't in the cards for us, but I really don't care either way. I don't think we've asked this camp about that service have we? My preferred choice would be to get silvered weapons, so if that is even possible and we have the time, go for the gold! I wonder if we can buy some already made? that would be best case. If we can't i.d. the potions we shouldn't bother with them.)

(I'd say sitting around and waiting a few weeks for weapons to get silvered is about as realistic as it gets hombre 😂. Nothing is precluding us from taking a few weeks of downtime while we get weapons silvered. I could clock in time as an entertainer making 10gp a day for a lifestyle, but live at a much poorer lifestyle expense and come away with a tidy profit after a few weeks 👏. So i wouldn't mind taking downtime. Barovias been cursed for hundreds of years, a few extra weeks in all likelihood wont make a difference 😂.)

@Buddamoose
(funny you should say that, was going to ask if we are under any kind of time table or constraints, we should check with Ireena, there could be some issues of, the longer we wait the more at risk of her being taken/captured)

(Inb4 she was turned over to Strahd in exchange for Vallaki's safety.)

@Buddamoose
(exactly)

@drafterman
Unless they let me cast identify on the potions before we take them I gotta go with gold.
-->
@secularmerlin
(I think your identifying days are over unless we find you the components based on what Drafter said)
-->
@TheDredPriateRoberts
(??? I said I'm treating it as if you guys have the materials for that spell)
-->
@drafterman
(oh ok, didn't want to assume that was going to continue :) )
-->
@TheDredPriateRoberts
(Well, I wasn't going to pull that rug out from under your feet)
As the group shows an interest in the potions, Luvash gives a sheepish smile: Uh... you don't want those. They're not as... potent as they used to be.

(Effing called it 😂😂😂😂.).

@drafterman
We'll take the gold then hombre 👍
-->
@Buddamoose
(gold is the best option)
The group decides to take the iron chest with gold coins. Later, after some counting, they'll sum up to 650 gp (just slapping it onto Snerp's inventory). Roberts asks around for weapons to purchase and they direct him to the stock yard in Vallaki.
(Where to now?)
-->
@drafterman
(I didn't think you would, but wasn't sure if it might turn into a short side quest to get the needed materials, it's all good :) )
(I'd like to check out the stock yard in Vallaki, how are we on time since Snerp has an appointment as well as the other time sensitive issues (vampires etc)
