| • It's go time for the world's shoddiest heist! • Resources: bank map + general description of the bank, security and curse bustle. • The full recap of IC plans is here, but to sum up: Mingyu and Winnie will procure the map from Haltham's connections. Wei Wuxian's paper man magic will confirm the findings and supply reconnaissance for the curse password on the day. Su Xunxian and Beitang Moran will distract security. Five and Mina will teleport into the vaults and loot. Catra and Rachel will provide muscle back-up. • Having heard word of Mingyu's request of a map to Haltham, the Merchant obliges Karsa to send along aura quartz pieces for the operation participants. These will give them access to an exclusive and fully private communication platform throughout the day of the heist. Use the channel for quickie communication between heist participants here. The channel is open to heist participants who are not physically in the bank. • Karsa's only message: If you must do it, do it well — Karsa. • The players of heistin' homies can OOCly vote on the loot options. The grand reveal of what these items are worth, do or amount to will take place later. • En... joy wrecking a local economy? Hooligans. |

OPTION #2
However, I am voting for OPTION #2 because as Britt pointed out, a signet ring could prove incredibly useful depending on whose signet.
I, on the other hand, am fucking obsessed with who is putting an execution cloak in a safety deposit box like what the fuck. I need answers. Also interested in where those gold keys lead. So that's my vote.
Option #1

Option 2
catch her trying to unlock every single door and chest she comes across
also she wants the mirror. "Mirror mirror in my hand, who's the fairest in the land..."
no subject
Although that painting in #1 is just a hilarious thing to grab, so if that wins I'm very fine with it.

• 60,000 in gold coins
Sale value: 60,000, what its says on the tin!
• three gold bars at 1kg and one gold bar at 500g
Sale value: the 1kg bars go for 30,000 coins each in Sa-Hareth, with 15,000 for the 500g bar. That's a 45,000 total.
Note: Gold bars are universal, so you might get a different value in another citadel
• 19 transparent, pale gems
Sale value: around 300 a piece, for a 5,700 total.
Note: pale gems absorb thralls well — even better than quartz! — if you need something magic'd.
• 20 dark blue gems
Sale value: around 450 a piece, for a 9,000 total.
• eight pink gems
Sale value: roughly 700 a piece, for 5,600.
• one ruby
Sale value: 1,000.
• three emeralds
Sale value: 1,500 a piece, so a 4,500 total.
• a mirror, heavy silver
Sale value: 650 coins
Note: this will struggle to sell. Touched, the mirror feels cold, spreading. Those who hold on to it too long will experience very restless sleep. You could swear, almost, the mirror speaks to you, in tongues you don't yet understand.
• an heirloom sword
Sale value: 750
Note: a temple's ritual sword, of decent make. It was surrendered alongside the temple deed and previously used in exorcism rites. There are no spirits or merits attached to it, but it chops a mean steak?
• a chain of five golden keys
Sale value: 20
Note: a guard's forgotten house keys. Not true gold. Do the fellow a favour and return them, maybe. He's been looking for them.
• an execution cloak, tattered
Sale value: unsellable in Sa-Hareth.
Note: the scholar monk Asgeirr was far too successful in his duties of religious conversion when he arrived in Sa-Hareth. He championed love, equality, kindness and freedom — and earned himself public execution by royal decree, to popular discontent, when his and his numerous fresh acolytes' beliefs contradicted the local penchant for slavery. The party can learn this — and much more! — because Asgeirr's spirit is still bound to the cloak. He will appear now and then, wearing it, for a handful of moments at a time. His appearances will lengthen as he grows stronger with time, and he'll be more lengthily accessible to those who are dead or have a relationship with death — but regular people can see Asgeirr too. Have no fear! This freeloader doesn't eat.
• a signet ring
Sale value: 65.
Note: The ring is scratched, carved out of what the wise or the sensitive might come to feel is human bone. No further perceptible detail at this time.
