[X] Plan Backup Tools And Metals
-[X] 120 oz Forged Iron (75 Silver)
-[X] Good Sax (Forged Iron) (8.25 Silver)
-[X] 8 oz Molten Iron (20 Silver)
-[X] Good Wood Axe (Bog Iron) (4.25 Silver)
-[X] Good Scythe (Bog Iron) (4 Silver)
-[X] Good Pot (Bog Iron) (7.25 Silver)
-[X] Good Plow (Bog Iron) (10.5 Silver)
-[X] Sell the church bell to defray expenses (263 oz Bog Iron should go for just under 33 Silver...we'll throw in an extra ounce and make it exactly 33 silver worth. They may pay a little less since they have to melt it down, but it should be close to that.)
Total: Around 96.25 Silver depending on what we sell the bell for.
We can craft our own tools out of Forged Iron if we want to (and we do, to progress our nascent Boon), the Bog Iron ones are an order of magnitude cheaper for only 1d6 less (I was actually thinking we'd only get Decent, but to be honest, the prices for different levels of craftsmanship aren't enough different to be worth going lower quality). It also gives us the Forged Iron to actually
do that, or make weapons. Meanwhile, if we're using Forged Iron for everything, let's sell the bell. There's a bit of a metal shortage, so now is a reasonable time and here is the place to do it. I could probably be convinced to keep the bell if someone has a specific plan for it, though I dunno what that would be (we really don't want Bog Iron Mail, I don't think).
I also think that, at less than 10 silver, a 4d6 backup weapon we can use
now is worth it. Sure, we want to make a better one...but we don't even have the Skill Trick to do that, so it's gonna be a while.
Oh, and
@Imperial Fister can we get a look at mail and helmets while we're here? We could afford some if we wanted...we probably don't but it seems like we should at least get a look at the mechanics so we can choose whether or not to buy some in an informed fashion. Or either keep the bell or buy a lot more Forged Iron so we can make some, of course.
