Sale Values after Adjustments:
After some discussion elsewhere, we decided that Darby O'Gill took the Celestial Armor a while ago, so I should include it in his gear request now for bookkeeping purposes.
I took a look over the item list and this is what I see for Tayse & Ghorsi:
I'm not badly in need of any of this, except for the protection ring and there are five of those so it shouldn't be a problem.

I talked with Ainsel about his budgeting post last night. I think we can just subtract Ainsel's 36000 allotment for the Absalom shopping and then get back his leftover 2196. That elides over a lot of detail, but it should allow us to catch up. Subtotal from Absalom (without Ainsel adjustments): 48,983

Session 39 (detail recorded above)
Session 40 - we have recorded no cash amounts, but that we traded "stuff" for a Bay of Holding Type II. We had enough cash on hand to buy the magic item, but we also made an assumption that we dumped off some goods to try to pay for it. So I'll do some sales.
Mundane Equipment Sales: 1000 value, 500 sale amount (3772)
Magic Items: 74,900 value, 37,450 sale amount (41,222)
Trade Goods: 10,250 (51,472)
Magic Consumables: 750, 375 sale value (51,847)
Things I didn't sell because I suspect we kept them:
For Tom:
* I had two days of non-travel crafting on the Belt of Beast's Heritage completed to give it +2 dex/con when we started on the Long Road.
The current project is a +4 dex/con enhancement for the same belt, with a full upgrade value of 30,000 and a crafting value of 15,000. So I'd need to finish my gold bookwork above (and events since) to even be 100% sure that we had the funds for a belt like that. We probably do, however.
OK, I'm going to try to take a bite out of my money bookwork that I've been delaying for so long. Current Cash on Hand at the end of Session 37: 49,001

Ainsel Bookwork:
--------------------------------------------
Let's take a crack at Ainsel's funds and see if I can get this right. What he sent me was: 11880 for 33 level 6 spells (I assume this is grimoire writing) 3000 for lesser reach rod 9000 for lesser extend rod (this cost is incorrect for just one rod, but he might have meant three of them) 16000 for Headband of Vast Intelligence +4 22000 fund remaining As phrased, that doesn't give a starting amount, so I'm going to guess that he's working off a base of the 36,000 gold allowance we gave to everyone at the start of Absalom shopping plus his initial character funds. If I make that assumption, I don't have a record for any of his spellbook writing lower than level 6, and a basic grimoire can't hold nearly that many spells, so it feels like I'm missing something still. But if we take it at face value, I'd get: 36000 absalom allotment
To balance out those numbers, we'd expect a starting wealth (perhaps minus other purchases made at character creation) of 25,880, which is an entry between level 7 starting PC wealth (23,500) and level 8 starting PC wealth (33,000). So I think I have to be getting something wrong. Initial purchases not listed might easily explain it all. I should mention that my notes from Absalom purchases have down the following notes:
One way to handle this would be to just add 23,000 to the party funds for Ainsel's contribution after Absalom shopping and stop asking questions, I guess. --------------------------------------------I still have too many questions about Ainsel to finish the Absalom shopping, but this is a good start on it. Assuming he didn't go over his 36000 spending allotment, though, we should have had roughly 12,000g left over when we entered the Long Road. That's at least a nice buffer for any errors we might have made along the way.

Revisions and Questions for Absalom Shopping: Sale amounts: on review, it looks like I got very close to right with my earlier estimates for money & such. The one lacking thing was the Bodywraps of Mighty Striking, which sell for 1500g since we're assuming they are a +1 version (the book doesn't say). That puts at a final gold on hand total of 165,232g after the bulk item sale (before any individual sales happen but including the costs for the two Goggles of Night). The per-share total would then be 36,718 and the earlier estimate of 36,000 was basically correct. Darby O'Gill: your sales list above has recorded the sale of a Scroll of Miracle. I'm all but certain that is really a Scroll of Tiny Miracle that we found early on, a custom item for the campaign. If so, it sells for a lot less (187g for Tiny Miracle vs the 1912g you entered for a full Miracle scroll – I'm not sure if an actual Scroll of Miracle would have to include the normal material components which would make it much more expensive anyway) That price change technically puts you overlimit by a smidgen I think but not to a degree that is at all concerning. Ainsel: I really didn't follow the talk we had about your character's gold earlier. If you could post your stuff here, private message me here or send me an email, that would be great. I also need your Absalom purchases & sales. Crafting talk: I remembered while I was doing my bookwork that Tayse's current crafting project requires spells that she doesn't have as spells known. Currently she needs a single Cat's Grace & a single Bull's Endurance per day. If any of our prep-casters could handle those, it would be super great. Additionally, her belt enchantment project (+2 Dex & +2 Con on her Beastbond Belt) is finishing up sooner than I'd been thinking. As of the end of our last sesssion, she needs four more day-ends to complete it and will be able to start working on something else. It'd be very fair to take requests from the group now...Darby & Ainsel haven't gotten anything Tayse-crafted yet as an example. If no one speaks up, I'll probably start working on a Belt of Giant Strength improvement for Ghorsi. (I guess this assumes that we converted much of our remaining gold into generic crafting components. I also need to confirm how much cash we had left after shopping) Almost anything in Wondrous Items is a possibility, though anything with a caster level over nine or other missing requirements would slow the work down a lot. Stuff to Keep: above, I made a list of items I thought we should keep. I think some of it is still unclaimed.
Poisons Generally: I didn't sell the poisons above, so I'm assuming we destroyed all of that stuff instead.
I did a bit of digging around to be sure of things, and we need to make a change in this discussion: * first of all, Ghorsi can't use ioun stones at all, at least by a pfsd20 reference I saw. Require at least 3 intelligence, and arguably it says the user needs to 'release' the stone. There's a clause saying animals can't use them, though that might just be part of the intelligence requirement. * we also should probably be a little bit more careful about the idea of using that constitution ioun stone at all. While they are rarely targeted, a creative bad guy can do so and the AC/hp/hardness of the stones are...not great. Losing charisma to a broken or stolen stone isn't that bad most of the time, but losing Constitution that way could kill you, at least in theory. This isn't a BIG risk. Most of the time, just a normal attack will do more damage than swiping a stone and if death is in the discussion you might be unconscious anyway. But belt-based Constitution is somewhat safer. So Ghorsi won't be using that ioun stone anyway. I could imagine three options for Darby that go well with the discussion above: * buy a +6 belt for Dexterity & take some amount of risk with the +2 Con ioun stone
OK, so while building a full list of post-Longshadow gear I found a variety of errors in the earlier posts. Nothing I can do about that, but I'm correcting them the best I can based on the original sources. Any remaining or new errors should be pretty small. Stuff Found:

Cloak of Resistance +3 Dusty Rose Prism Ioun Stone Lesser Fog-Cutting Lenses (4000g value – we might want to sell these but I forget exactly what they do) Pink Rhomboid Ioun Stone Ring of Evasion Seer's Tea x3 If we do everything roughly like I think we should here & there aren't any surprises in the financial transactions, that will give us about 175,000g to play with. Minus 12,000g for crafting two sets of Goggles of Night down to 163,000. I'd suggest we divide that into 4.5 shares, with half a share going to Ghorsi. No shares seems too little and a full share seems too much. Four & a half shares would be 36k for all player characters & 18k for Ghorsi. Very rough estimate. Remember to factor in anything you will be selling from your character's current gear. After finishing the second Goggles of Night, I'm planning to start an enchantment on Tayse's belt. I can't just replace it with a normal belt & can't leave it behind for someone else to enchant since it lets me 'run' Ghorsi. I won't charge that cost to the party pool, but her crafting 'slot' will be busy for a while. We could choose not to sell the poisons & just burn them. It wouldn't affect our total loot all that much.

I thought the Ring of Protection +3 already got taken by somebody. It gives a deflection bonus that doesn't stack with Shield of Faith. The Bracers of Armor +3 don't stack with normal armor of any kind (or with Mage Armor but casters would at least save a spell with them). They are kind of a wizard thing. For cure potions at least, one priority should be getting a reasonable supply into Joe's hands. The fact that he hadn't had a potion bundle yet was hurting us last session. The Potion of Remove Disease is semi-garbage. Remove Disease requires a caster level check against the DC of the disease, and its base caster level of 5 means that it won't be very effective against any disease that can reasonably afflict the party. I probably wouldn't throw it out (yet), but just be aware of the issue with it. Remove Blindness/Deafness, by contrast, needs no such check and is awesome.
Sessions 24-30 Tayse Notes:
Consumables Expended:
New Acquisition Requests:
There are a bunch of consumables to divide up & a bunch of other scrolls that Tayse should be interested in, but I should negotiate over that with Joe since Wizards love scrolls. Tayse's Mnemonic Vest makes some of them way more interesting than they would otherwise be. I'm also unsure whether Joe's character or Tayse should get the Staff of Fire, as it has different important applications for both of them. Tayse's spell selection is somewhat lacking in ways to directly deal damage & wizards could use some emergency throughput more than Sorcerers (by a little). I haven't locked it in, but I'm probably taking Craft Wondrous Item with Tayse this level, so extra cash on hand should be somewhat devoted toward her future crafting. Take a look at what wondrous items your characters need upgrades for or new acquisitions. We should probably keep an eye on dungeon exploration equipment given that our adventure is pointing toward Kraggodan.
