"Thanks Yazhu! I know I can count on you!" Ameiko returned the hug tightly. "Don't worry, Brinewall is just a short detour off the road to Kalsgard anyways. Let me worry about the caravan and logistics, meanwhile I need you to get us outfitted properly to explore an abandoned castle and deal with any nasty squatters inside."<br/><br/>By the time the wagon rolled into Sandpoint, it was almost dark. The rest of the caravan arrived shortly after, having taken a detour to avoid the goblins of Brinestump Marsh but making up the lost time by not having to explore the marsh. Tired out from a long day of adventuring, the Jade Whores went straight to bed.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The next day the sun rose over Sandpoint, a small but decently prosperous town on the Lost Coast. It thrived on its four industries: glassmaking, shipbuilding, logging, and farming, and also benefited from passing trade caravans like the very one Yazhu and company were in.<br/><br/>Ameiko took one of the girls with her when she went to negotitate with the caravan leader, leaving the other two to help Yazhu make her rounds. Yazhu needed one of the girls with her to carry things and help out, leaving her with one masseuse who could be left behind at one of the stops for "persuasion".<br/><br/>Selling treasure: The half-elven owner of the glassmaker's forge introduced himself as Tsuto Kaijitsu, and Yazhu noticed a familial resemblance to Ameiko Kaijitsu as well. He was willing to buy the treasures, but being in a small town liquidity was limited, so he could only pay 75% price for them... unless he could be "persuaded".<br/><br/>Gearing up: The local blacksmith was no stranger to repairing armor, having long experience maintaining the town militia's equipment. Sandra could wear the lamellar (steel) armor (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment/armor/lamellar-steel/) since it was medium armor. Repairing it would normally cost 20 gp. There were also options for the small masterwork chain shirt and small masterwork composite longbow other than just selling them off. The small chain shirt could be converted to a medium masterwork chainmail bikini (light armor, 3 AC, 5 max dex, 0 ACP) for 30 gp. The small longbow could be extended and customized for Shalelu into a medium masterwork composite longbow (2 strength modifier) for 60 gp. However! To finish the work on time before the caravan left, it would have to be a rush job, which would cost double (40 gp for repairing the armor, 60 gp for the chainmail bikini, 120 gp for the longbow)... unless he unless he could be "persuaded", of course.
