Fair enough.<br/><br/>There's at least 300 platinum pieces, 1000 gold pieces in there, at least 500 silver pieces in spare change, and a few hundred copper pieces. The gems range from 10 gp to 1000 gp. There's a bunch of them. Jewelry and other items, worth anywhere from 55 gp to several thousand.<br/><br/>But you wouldn't know exactly without an Appraise check, moreso on the jewelry.<br/><br/>So, yes, a few thousand coin pieces in all... like I said. :P<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=130033.msg5797449#msg5797449">Quote from: tuckers02 on 30-01-2012, 05:01:34</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Who says the king is smart?  I mean he did let us take it without sending a guard to watch us.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>It could be that the gold in the chest is a portion of the kingdom's taxes. The rest could be offerings or, as I said in the IC thread, "gems, artifacts and heirlooms" All of which were either his own wealth or given to him by other kings/queens or nobles as gifts. Either way, a scribe would be there to jot it down on the register and account for it.<br/><br/>I<em>am</em>in the military, you know. :p The government can't issue you a blanket without annotating it somewhere.<br/><br/>And maybe he didn't send a guard after you because he knew that stealing a great amount from him would be a big mistake... Just because the guy doesn't have the raw firepower of six ECL 11s at his beck and call.... doesn't mean he isn't capable of things you are not. It could be that his best six heroes in the kingdom are a match for each of you... but they are scattered around the kingdom.<br/><br/>Now this whole thing is getting to distract away from the main focus of the plot. :P<br/><br/>Like I said, it's largely irrelevant. You could wake up in the Elemental Plane of Air. The handful of coins you pocketed awhile ago will be less than unimportant.  ::)
