Mummy's Mask auction


Play-by-Post


After "the incident", the good Doctor needs to pawn of the valuables that survived to fund future expeditions. With the help from his newfound ally (who is totally not a Pathfinder), he has discerned what will be able to sell at that planned auction at the Canny Jackal (listed prices are standard sell prices):

- 2x Potion of Darkvision (2x 150 gp)
- 2x Vial of Silversheen (2x 125 gp)
- 1x Adamantine Heavy Flail (1657 gp, 5 sp)
- 5x Khol of Uncanny Discernment (5x 750 gp)
- 1x Mummified Guardian (1500 gp)
- 6x Gold Funerary Masks (1x 150 gp, 1x 500 gp, 4x 75 gp)
- Broken Silver Dagger (11 gp)
- Silver Chalice (30 gp)

The items can be split into lots of any size or internal relevance.

Before the auction starts, you can mingle with the guests, both to get a feel of the potential buyers and to try and influence any who might be interested in bidding on your lots. A Diplomacy (Gather Information) check is required to chat and learn rumors.

The attendees able to purchase any of your goods are:

- Baketra One of Wati's richest and most notorious gourmands.
- Basif Iosep A wealthy coffee merchant.
- Djat Masakhet & Intef Karam Representatives of Wati's temple of Nethys.
- The Four Lanterns A cocksure band of Andoren explorers who participated in the necropolis exploration.
- Khammayid Okhenti A young scion of the noble Okhenti family, newly returned from his studies in Oppara.
- Manaat Heshwah The humorless representative of a Sothis trading house.
- Maru Meshhoten & Namaru Meshhoten An aging dowager and her granddaughter.
- Menya the Whip Rail-thin and with an iron handshake, this ambitious young armorsmith is attending the auction to network.

Convincing the attendees to bid on your lots is a Diplomacy or Bluff check. The DC depends on whether or not the items interest them. A bidding war can be started, but with a cumulatively higher DC.

I try to gather some rumors gather information: 1d20 ⇒ 1


With the lots entered into the auction, Dr. Phillip Hoka Dak tries to hear some gossip, but the other attendees disregard the half-orc. No rumors for you.

Who do you wish to convince to buy which lots? Remember that more than one bidder can be influenced to bid on the same lot. Just roll all the rolls at once, and yes, the Orator feat can be used here.
