Welcome to THAC0 . . . with Advantage! We’re two friends that have been playing D&D a long time. While we both love lots of other RPGs, D&D followed us home and we want to keep it.
It’s a pile of gold with gems, three swords, a suit of armor, a small cask, 27 gold ingots, a statue of a dragon with a series of gems embedded in it, there’s also a bunch of silver, and a lot of copper on the bottom. Oh, don’t forget to grab that gossamer sheet that looks like it was made out of fairy wings. Hey what’s this? Nope. Put it all back. Treasure is tainted. It’s got Electrum pieces in it.
All jokes aside. this episode is all about treasure and rewards. So let’s grab our dice and begin our adventure with Jared and Ang.
From the Bardic College: Electrum is a real thing. No really. It’s a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver, and it was used for coins in Greece, Carthage, and Rome. So when you get 2000 electrum pieces, don’t think “this could have been 1000 gold pieces,” think “people actually used these things.” Then think, “we need to get this converted to 1000 gold pieces.
