Costs in Grantabrugge

This is information on the costs of common adventuring items in Grantabrugge.  

Please note this is the common information, and is subject to change with local conditions, e.g. potion prices go up when the guild of alchemists blows its roof off again.  

Money

Grantabrugge uses the Shilling.  There are Silver Shillings and Gold Shillings, they are hexagonal coins about twice the size of a 50p.  Shillings are a base 2 currency, and the coin values go: 1,4,16,64 silver shillings.  1,4 gold shillings.  There are 64 silver shillings to 1 gold shilling. (Thus the 64 silver shilling and 1 gold shilling coins have the same value).  

The coins were kindly donated to the society by Profound Decisions following the end of their Maelstrom campaign.  

Characters receive an amount of money each time they attend an interactive, listed in The Experience System, the Income skill, in General Skills can increase this.  

Weapons and Armour

It is assumed that PC's manage to buy/beg/borrow/steal common weapons and armour.

Alchemical supplies 

The guild of alchemists sells common elixirs using a standard tariff based on the number of ingredients used:

• Size 1 elixirs (1 ingredient): 16 silver shillings
• Size 2 elixirs (2 ingredients): 32 silver shillings

Size 3 elixirs are usually doable, but they require at least a weeks notice, price to be negotiated.

Elixirs decay and lose their potency after a week.  

Occasionally guild or independent alchemists can be found wandering through the city / visiting the Wessex Arms on a Friday night, they can administer potions directly for between half and two thirds the price of a guild elixir if you are lucky enough to find them.  

Scrolls

The colleges of magic sell scrolls of their various spells, these also have a standard price tariff based on the level of the scroll.

• For temporary scrolls, where the magic will last about a week then fade if not used, the charge is 16 silver shillings per level of the spell.
• For permanent scrolls that last until used, the charge is 32 silver shillings per level of the spell.  

Acquiring a low level scroll is generally a matter of walking into the relevant college and asking at reception, who will send a porter to fetch one from stores provided you are not on bad terms with the college or brotherhood in general.  

The colleges will usually have several scrolls for syllabus level 1-3 spells in stock, with a good chance of a scroll or two of their level 4 spells.  Spells above level 4 almost always require arrangement with the college in advance, and the prices vary depending on what mages are available and how much their value their time.
