Sarastal speaks and "thinks" back at Majenko: "What? Trina is right here!"
She gives Trina her hardest slap (not very hard, admittedly) and shouts in her ear: "WAKE UP!!"

I'll just bump this back into the land of the living...
Sarastal waits with bated breath to see what happens next...!
Sarastal looks disgusted. "Why can't people just stay in one place? Thelix, if we have to chase after her, try not to fall into any pies."
Sarastal prepares for a fight by casting Mage Armor on herself. "Ssh! Be careful, we don't want to spook her," she admonishes Thelix in his clanking armor.
"Well, we better head off to Moon Street before the mob gets there."
"Catching this Trinia sounds easy enough," Sarastal sniffs. "As long as her capture stops the riots, I don't care if she's guilty or innocent. I'm afraid to walk around in a decent-looking dress, lest I be robbed by roving thugs. Maybe a few Hellknights is what the situation demands."
Sarastal doesn't want any of the items; she just wants cold, hard cash. :-) Let me know what her share comes to.
I agree. After the "Does anybody want this round" we should sell off whats left. I have found from running many modules, sometimes you should keep what seems useless, as it's there to make an encounter easier down the road. We might want to hold onto one of those dust of appearances. Fighting something invisible could be tough without it. When we have a spell or another item that obsoletes it then we could go forward and sell. Sarastal would be delighted to memorise and/or make some much cheaper scrolls of Glitterdust, if that would help. What I don't want to encourage is having folks say "I've got dibs on expensive item X!", and then selling/trading it later on without sharing the wealth.
I agree with Thelix that we should keep the magical and exotic items separate from the currency and jewelry. I'll go with that, but certainly we can sell the masterwork stuff if nobody wants it. I'd also recommend selling the Elixir of Love. I'm still not crazy about keeping half-useful stuff like Dust of Appearance (by "half-useful", I mean "I'm willing to take it, but I would never pay what it says in the DMG, even at 50% off").
Sarastal will probably want to scribe some scrolls. Will there be time before we go on our next adventure?
I agree, having a campaign setting where you can buy and sell magic items is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, it helps you to find something that you really like, but on the other hand, it makes magic items seem less special.
That total includes everything, even the potions and the scroll. My attitude is: if you aren't willing to pay 1000 gp for a ring of feather fall, then you might as well sell it and buy something you really do want. Likewise for the potions, dust of appearance, etc. I'm open to trying it the other way, though (keep all magic items by default).
According to my calculations, the total is worth about 7,745 gp (assuming we sell the equipment for 1/2 value and leaving aside the drugs and poison which might be hard to sell). Split 5 ways, that's a share of 1,549 gp each (or 969 gp + a suit of leather armor +1, or 549 gp + a ring of feather fall). Any thoughts?
Thelix would like to update, but this depends on getting the loot sold, and split up so he can upgrade his armor etc... if nobody helps by Monday he's going to sell it for what he can, and keep all the money...Come on Guys help me out here. Zoomackula...The loot is listed in Thelix's profile (Don't know what the dust is, or how many coins are in the 6-sacks...Let's get this thing moving. Yes, I'm just waiting on an identification of magic items and a listing of coins before tackling our next project. :-)
"I am gonna go check on my family to see how Tara is doing. Anyone want to meet up later for some dinner and ale?" "My family can go to hell, although I'm tempted to flaunt my success in their faces...but that can wait until later. I'd be delighted to meet for dinner. But first I'd like to study those magical items further." Sarastal attempts to determine what enchantments lay on the various items and potions. Spellcraft checks for identification:
"Don't you think we deserve a bonus for all of our hard work?" Sarastal asks politely, her eyes shining with greed. "After all, we did the city a service by removing this deplorable crime lord from power once and for all."
Sarastal giggles with glee. "Magic! Look at the beautiful magic!" She helps the rest scoop up the valuables in preparation to leave quickly.
Sarastal will check for magic yet again.
"I agree -- let's explore the place QUICKLY and then leave. Before we get up to our neck in spiders. Let's barricade this door as well as we can, first." Sarastal starts moving the small desk in front of the door.
"Yes, let's keep exploring -- but let's check out this room first and recover from the battle."
Sarastal searches the room as quickly as she can, detecting magic.
"Close the door! Close the door!" Sarastal shrieks helplessly.
"Watch out! Thelix is hallucinating from the poison! He sees spiders everywhere!!"
"Quick, let's barricade that door, lest any more spiders come through! Majenko -- where does that door lead?"
Sarastal tosses another acid orb at the wounded spider-man.
Sarastal shrieks and sends a ray of debilitating negative energy at the huge spider that just entered.
Sarastal attempts her acid splash again. "Kill it, Thelix, kill it!"
Sarastal tries to burn the creature with a splash of acid, but she just ends up searing the wall.
"What the --" Sarastal quickly casts Mage Armor, just to be on the safe side.
Sarastal scans for magic again.
Sarastal does a cursory scan of the storage room with Detect Magic, just in case.
"Er...wait! Let me examine those papers. Later." Sarastal grabs the papers and stuffs them in her pack.
"Feh -- nothing magical," Sarastal mutters as her held breath comes whooshing out of her lungs. "Grab whatever you want, and let's get out of here." When they enter the hallway...
Spoiler: "Someone close that hatch! I'm pretty sure that Devargo's office isn't down there, and there may be more spider beasties crawling in the lower parts of the ship." Sarastal tugs at the hatch with her feeble arms.
Sarastal says "Just a second; there might be something valuable in here..." She casts Detect Magic, takes a deep breath of fresh(er) air and scans around the room while holding her breath.
Sarastal realises she has no light source, but says nothing.
"All right, let's tie up these sleeping guards and take a look at Devargo's private quarters. I think we can leave the dream spiders alone for the moment. Majenko, you're welcome to follow us or go free -- whichever you like, as far as I'm concerned."
"Majenko, do you know if Devargo kept any files somewhere? Does he have an office? And that trap door -- does that lead to the dream spiders?"

Sarastal goes over to the cage and unlocks it (using the key, if need be).
Sarastal breathes a sigh of relief. "My name is Sarastal. We're looking for information on a certain party, information that Devargo would have been privy to. Of course, no one can question him now. Not without magic beyond my capabilities, at any rate."
Sarastal again looks nervously at the trap door. "Baern, I'm delighted to meet you, but please SHUT THAT DOOR!"
"Someone please close that trap door!" Sarastal's eyes widen at the sight of the spidery pit as she searches the room for magical emanations.
I updated Sarastal.
Note that the rules web site paizo.com/prd is online now. Yay! Two extra points of Int for Sarastal, and two more skill points, and the ability to control undead!
