Searched the other posts and didn't see anything about this, so apologies if I missed it :)
Knowing my players, and the fact that this house is full to the brim with bored rich (and now dead) nobility, anyone have a thought on a round figure for jewels and gems that could be liberated from the bodies? I know that the insane elf has 150gp in misc jewelry that I presume she looted, but that's just a drop in the possible bucket of what the nobles would have on them (heck, look at Lady Carowyn's gown covered with pearls).
Thanks in advance for any advice :)

It would be an unreasonable amount of wealth for a 5th-7th level group, for sure. Thankfully, I likely won't have the same concern when we get to that point. My group--the one that's used nonlethal force against everything but Gobblegut up through the possible current throwdown at Eel's End--has turned almost all of the loot they've found so far. I've had to up Cressida's "bounties" as a consequence.
Clothing that's been worn by putrified bodies aside, I might consider having Susperio gather and destroy the goods of the "pampered brats" in a pyrric sacrifice before the characters visit.
"Dark Knight" SPOILER:
Just remember that even if the nobles at Carowyn House are dead, their belongings will be inherited by their heirs. Depending whether your player group thinks about such things (I know many groups do not, but a fair number do), such theft would get them in trouble with the law. The surviving family members would notice the PCs had taken the items and take legal action. This is a far different situation than going into some dungeon in the wilderness, killing monsters and looting treasure.
As I said, it all depends on how your player group is. if they wouldn't care and such legal niceties get in the way, pillage however you like. If they would care or ask about such legal questions, I'd be careful.
I would so totally generate a level 5 Cochrane class character for Barristers & Briefcases and take the Chewbacca Defense as a Feat.
