>spend only what you need
Visit the armory and potion shops only, unless you want to be a terrible person. Or maybe you have money of your own?

Yeah, I was thinking you'd spend some change and relax. What's he doing with that much money? You need to follow him, try to grab it back.

Yeah, knowing Murdelp, I bet he's gonna buy every mug o' beer he sees and tries to down them in failure. Since he took out one-fifth of our gold, I should see for myself what he's up to.

I look down at the Dorf, but only because of his short height. Even with it, he seems to be intimidating.

"This lad be tippin' mah drink!" he points to the mug on the floor. There is a considerable amount of ale spilled over.

"... And now he's gonna pay!"

Okay, well pay for his drink then. That's what he wants, isn't it?

By the looks of the Dorf, it seems he won't let us get away from this situation with easy.

What should I do now?

(going to bed now; will continue tomorrow)

>>50559
Mind crush?

400 gold for a mug of beer? That's crap. Mega-crap.

Tell him to fuck off or die. If he doesn't choose 'fuck off,' mind crush.

Ask the bartender how much it really costs.

I think it might be good to get an idea of how much gold is actually worth. Since 500 coins appear to be one week's pay for one kobold (unless he was grossly exaggerating?) I guess gold isn't valuable.

The question is why they don't just use another substance for money, since gold is apparently worth about as much per pound as dirt or water.

>>50620
Think about what happens in this situation if you replace "gold" with "dollars"

In our economy, 10 dollars an hour for 50 hours, 500/week, is reasonable pay for the sort of unpleasant, unskilled manual labor in a pseudoindustrial environment (i.e. not foodservice) that the better sort of kobold could pull off. It is also a lot to pay for a drink.

>>50559

Tell him you'll challenge him to a contest for the cash. Like drinking or arm wrestling or headbutting.

>gold talk

We live in an age where alchemy has been "re-proven" as a valid concept. We don't mine for gold anymore; we transmute them from precious metals. As a result, more and more gold is created at the cost of the real value of gold skydropping down to a level that even you wouldn't believe.

Still, we take the "mentality" of its value into account; hence the existence of gold as a type of currency. It'll be quite hectic if we degrade our economy to a barter system.
