the reason is the porosity issue with it being melted down in small quantities.
with enough platinum and enough oxygen, it will generally melt and cast like
most of the precious metals. However, that is beyond the price range of most
small workshops. I mean, we're talking a couple of pounds of platinum to reduce
it's reactivity with oxygen in small quanities at the melthing point. (which
generally requires a large quantity of oxygen to reach over 3300 degrees F.

Also a *lot* harder to work with. A former friend of mine worked in a jewelry
casting shop, and she told me (over and over again, because she's always got to
tell the story to make a point and she has a tattered lace memory so she
repeats things a lot) that to cast platinum they had to put it in a nitrous
oxide environment. The same went for welding it. I always wondered if it was
because platinum was moody, and it had to be blissed out on laughing gas to
make it willing to work with the artist.

Interesting concept. Go with platinum though, classier.

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?

the gold, gems. jeweler. We have sail cloth and ogre spears to make travisis

water? "
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.

It is about a two hour walk. So Cara could fly down quickly.
