And THAT is why you have to left something back at the dungeon, kids. Looting is okay, stealing the stone from the walls and wood from the ceillings? It’s a bit too far. (happened once while I was DMing)
He should hold onto them until the price goes up. Sooner or later he’ll have killed enough kobolds to make their hides rare and exotic goods. It’s like investing in precious metals, only with more blood and less mining.
If he sells them cheap now, he frees up the inventory space to procure MORE loot to sell… and potentially more valuable loot at that.
Plus you’re working under the assumption that he is the sole supplier of Kobold hides. There are other adventurers likely doing the same thing… and of course Kobolds making more Kobolds.
If he wanted to make some real money, he’d learn some crafting skills to make those Kobold hides into something more useful.
Ideally, yes; but that is only under the assumptions that, 1. Byron was motivated enough to spend a good amount of time learning the skill, which he wouldn’t be making money during, 2. The hides could actually be fashioned into something more usable, or at least valuable, by a single person , and at a cost-to-price ration that actually justifies fashioning hem to simply selling them and collecting more to sell in the same time-frame, and, most importantly, 3. that he would rather put of adventuring ~and~ acquiring some coin to go drink on today in an attempt to make a time/sobriety investment that would, possibly, `eventually` earn him, possibly, only slightly more than the hides currently would in comparison. : I
Now, if he could figure out how to make knock-offs of reeeaaaally rare hides with them . . . he could purrobably be arrested or hunted down by angry merchants. : )
he should have sold them tp the Dwarf Fortress Dwarves, I’m sure that they are tired of working with all those dead kittens…. (those not familiar with the comment be thankful)
lollollol
And so the convergence of the warrior party-to-be continues apace.
This sort of thing has got to happen eventually anyhow.
The economy was doing great until the kobold population spiked…
You didn’t think the vendor trash economy could hold in this economy did you!? DID YOU!?

Dude. 2 words: Cave. In. The stone and wood is there for a reason!
Ooo, I like how it’s all linking together.

Without the proper treatment all of those kobolds would just rot.
Letting them rot is a good idea, economically.
Decreasing the supply, and increasing the demand, therefore increasing the value.
Yeah, but then he’d get no money right now. Now he knows to not weigh himself down with worthless Kobold Hides.

This is an RPG world.
He can pick up crafting skills in the normal course of play.

My first thought as well, except for I’m thankful I’m familiar with it. :D
yes, I’m quite familiar with it too, but never used kittens as a food/craft source…
In the true spirit of wild guessing, I reckon that THIS pile of corpses belongs to Frigg. =D
Supply and demand strikes again
Market-saturation’s a bitch
That is twice as hilarious considering the Gravatar. Well played, Friend Computer.
