Shaving is always a problem, but the Earl's mint generally frowns on such
practice.

Most metals without ferrous content don't rust. And I suspect part of the
cost of platinum coinage is for the value of making it into coins.
Is coin shaving a problem on Stoddard? Or is there some way to prevent it?

Classier and about 5 times more expensive. Wonder if platinum has the same
doesn't rust properties as gold and that's a reason it is also so
expensive.

Interesting concept. Go with platinum though, classier.

Any of the trapped personalities in magic items have that ability or spell?

Ok, In doing way too many calculations and readings on the Item
spell and the size of coins. Coins are generally the size of quarters. If
the troops take the time, the copper coins can be dealt with with a single
item spell. Are you planning to stay overnight or go back now? I have
heard both thoughts. I have not heard of anyone scanning for magic either.
However, I have learned about buying donkeys and mules for my mining
operations.
Actions?

OOC How far is this cave from water we could actually use to
boat loot to the cove? If it is only 2 hours march back to the cove, we
might a a one way trip and a couple round trips via mule with portions of
the loot before Xander's spells expire.

Yes, or Holly could make the run. If all traps are dealt with
it might be better for Eregwen Air to play courier, because Carandolana's
spell ability might be needed.

Xander examines his books and summarizes what he'll be able to
do to help carry people, corpses, and things:
"I can create four Floating Discs that can carry 700 pounds
each for a little over two hours. Hmm... or create 4 draft horses without
gear or 4 mules with saddles and bags for nine hours.
I can manage three Strength spells that will increase carrying
capacity for three people for seven hours.
Finally, I can Itemize two piles of non-living things up to 14
cubic feet for 28 hours.
My fourth order spells are rather limited for this task, I'm
afraid."

Sorry, nothing in here was trapped. Not really an ogre
thing. The keys for the chests were on the ogres or Hilda. You find 20
barrels have rotting flour, 2 flat stale beer, 2 fresh beer, 15 of coal,
and 2 of oil. One of the flour barrels has been opened. The six boxes have
sail canvas in them. Crates 1 – 10 small metal shields, 2 – a dozen spears
each, 3 – 20 short swords with 10 extra scabbards, 4 – 8 footman’s flails;
4- 12 felling axes with 12 extra handles; 3 – a dozen pair of hard high
leather boots (brown), 2 – 48 daggers with 12 extra scabbards; 2 – 24
footman’s picks. Boxes, 1 – 100 beeswax candles, 1 12 ceramic vials (empty)
packed in sawdust; 1 – 23 balls of twine, 1 – a dozen pairs of soft low
boots (black), 1 – 8 shovelheads, and 28 blocks of red sealing wax along
with two of black. (1x1x6 inches each).
Among the coins are 43 sacks of copper each about 1200
coins more or less.
In one chest, 500 small bags of 100 copper each. 132
green, 197 plain muslin, 6 blood stained, and 165 black bags. No idea the
significance of the colors, yet. In total, you will collect 808 platinum,
from an iron coffer in the girls' room, 2717 gold from Hilda's check. 588
random gold coins from the bodies and a grand total of 250,099 copper (all
total except the 50,000 in small bags).
The small box under the chief's (Lori's) bed. The
small wooden box lined with grey silk contains 23 gems; Amethyst, 2 x
Aquamarine, Black Pearl, Bloodstone, Brown-green Garnet, Citrine, Coral,
Deep Blue Spinel, Eye Agate, Freshwater Pearl, 2 x Golden Pearl, Golden
Yellow Topaz, Hematite, Jade, 2 x Jasper, Moss Agate, Silver Pearl, Violet
Garnet, White Opal, and a White Pearl.
There are also 10 two handed swords, one in a scabbard
and some jewelry pieces as well. Silver necklace with green gems, a silver
pendant with rubies, wrought gold earrings, a gold brooch with topazes, a
jade brooch, silver earrings with blue gems, a wrought silver and gold
crown with matched earrings, (all in a cabinet), Lori's silver pendant, and
a silver ring with an emerald on Hilda's left ring finger. The dung heap is
full of dung.
You can get everything moved into the current storage
area. It will take most of a day plus a bit to clean up all of the coinage.
Sadly (for the DM) nothing bothers you during this
time, but Sean swears he hears steam venting through the earth. Holly might
agree with him but is less sure.
