“The allocation of 200 gp for this operation reflects a profound miscalculation of operational requirements. I’ll raise a petition for further funds as part of continued support to the church. Until then, one must do with the resources provided.”
I. Asset Acquisition
Source: Blacksmithy (Grand Inquisitor Simeon Hale)
Analysis: The 20 gp discount was not negotiated. It was offered voluntarily following recognition of my identity. The subject cited “services rendered to the Empire’s purity” as justification.
Addendum: The excision of a necrotic limb, Voll, continues to yield unexpected positive externalities.
| Item | Quantity | Unit Cost (gp) | Total (gp) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chain Shirt | 1 | 50 | 50 |
| Leather Armour | 1 | 10 | 10 |
| Branding symbol of the Faith | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Subtotal | 60 | ||
| Loyalty Discount | -20 | ||
| Total Expenditure | 40 |
II. Wagon Shop
_Analysis: The vendor’s pricing was non-negotiable. A suboptimal but necessary expenditure given the lack of alternatives.
| Item | Quantity | Unit Cost (gp) | Total (gp) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wagon | 1 | 35 | 35 |
| Mule | 2 | 8 | 16 |
| Total Expenditure | 51 |
III. Logistical Procurement
Source: Saint’s Severity Emporium (Eleanor Thayne)
_Analysis: The proprietor recognized my rank and offered the healer’s kit, glass vials and sanctified candles in exchange for future assistance with structural repairs to the establishment.
| Item | Quantity | Unit Cost (gp) | Total (gp) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Potion of Healing | 2 | 50 | 100 |
| Tent | 3 | 2 | 6 |
| Subtotal | 103 | ||
| Sanctified Candle | 5 | 0 | 0 |
| Healer’s Kit | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Glass Vial | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Total Expenditure | 157 |
IV. Final Allocation Summary
| Category | Amount (gp) |
|---|---|
| Initial Allocation | 200 |
| Total Expenditure | 197 |
| Remaining Balance | 3 |
Conclusion: The allocated budget has been exhausted with an efficiency of 98.5%. The remaining 3 gp are insufficient for any meaningful procurement. The mission’s success will now depend on the application of intellect, as further material support is statistically negligible.
