I figured if I put the amount up at every transaction then it might sync for once. Mission accomplished.

[Joy] I'm not sure Alice will get her full potency in the first 10 levels of D&D.
Bear from here on out.
Whatever, so I had this dream where I was driving to my day job way too early, still dark, that's normal, and there was a guard checking ID's, (doesn't happen irl) and he took mine and said someone accused me of breaking a traffic law in a county that I haven't visited in 10 years and supposedly this was a month ago so he had to confiscate my ID. I was like, how do I get it back, and he turned creepy and was like invading my personal space and whispering something about being detained for days if not months.
I was like, okay? Then I forced myself awake. A little hypnopompia happen after and I was thinking about how people would miss me if I was gone for a day let alone months. Naa, keep the IDs, I don't need the job that bad.

Freya looks over the team as they arrive. "I hope you're not getting into more trouble."
"No I haven't, where did you last see it? We could alert the guards if you wish?" Freya looks concerned.
"We didn't lose it no, actually we got some great discounts" Ashley snickers to herself like a maniac.
"Well that's a relief," Freya says, "I feel like I'm missing some context here."
Alice looks to Ashley.
"No?" Ashley responds innocently, "but I got to see Yulya's wings and that was pretty cool. I don't know what we need a ladder for at this point, she can just fly a rope anywhere we need."

"Oh surely, just take a seat and I'll arrange it. Liz is out tonight, this is her night off, but I could get it to her if you won't be here tomorrow morning, otherwise she'll be in tomorrow. Speaking of payment, just keep in mind we do charge for food here, some people tend to forget. So we have a new sign." She points to the standard menu on the wall.

"Oh dear! Yes, our fair city has been growing lately, and the supplemental aid is running thin at the temple, I'm afraid some people are beginning to become desperate. The guards have increased their efforts but it's a big city."
"Oh! We did some sight seeing and we got to see the Tower of the Many Starred Cloak. That was so fancy! Oh my god it was even more insane inside, so many books."
Freya's eyes brightened, "Oh yes, I've seen it too, they just finished building it, I heard the old one was... less than impressive. If you ever want to reference their vast library, there's a bit of a process to get access but it's well worth it. You can apply once you're silver rank." She's a bit confused, "Did you get a tour?"
Ashley smirks, "Uh, we kinda didn't know anything, we just walked in. We saw Summer in there too she mentioned some kind of membership but no one said anything so we looked around."
"Oh I see, well follow the protocol in the future, I heard they had some royal guests today so you must have slipped in while they were distracted. I'm glad you got to see it. I'll prepare the documents for application to admission when you achieve your silver plates if you like, I'm afraid they only allow magic users however, there's a ward that prevents anyone else from entering."
She glances toward the kitchen, "Yes, you have two hours before I need to start dinner, then again after 20:00 if you agree to clean up. I better get back to work. As you can see it's getting busy and it only goes up from here."
Adventurers are entering and seats are filling up slowly. Freya rushes around and then to the back desk, grabs a key and returns with the room 207 key.

Freya looks over the team as they arrive. "I hope you're not getting into more trouble."
No ma'am!
Uh, hello Freya! We have returned from shopping. As you see we also acquired everything! Have you seen our cart?
"No I haven't, where did you last see it? We could alert the guards if you wish?" Freya looks concerned.
"We didn't lose it no, actually we got some great discounts" Ashley snickers to herself like a maniac.
"Well that's a relief," Freya says, "I feel like I'm missing some context here."
Alice looks to Ashley.
Hey, did you cause trouble with your summons without inviting me - again??
"No?" Ashley responds innocently, "but I got to see Yulya's wings and that was pretty cool. I don't know what we need a ladder for at this point, she can just fly a rope anywhere we need."
Ah right, Freya!
We need another room for tonight. And also pay for yesterday!
By the way, where's Elizabeth? I got a present for her!

N-Nya there was a little trouble at the market Nya some fools tried to steal our goods Nya but guards came Nya and they were scared off Nya!
"Oh dear! Yes, our fair city has been growing lately, and the supplemental aid is running thin at the temple, I'm afraid some people are beginning to become desperate. The guards have increased their efforts but it's a big city."
We bought 2 nice mules Nya and we got a cart for a good price Nya! Ashley and Yulya went to sell our goods Nya and buy more Nya - oh here they come Nya what took you so long Nya?
"Oh! We did some sight seeing and we got to see the Tower of the Many Starred Cloak. That was so fancy! Oh my god it was even more insane inside, so many books."

I follow this logic, if it's easy in real life, and even easy enough that goblins do it, then it should be easy in game. A sharpened stick of fresh oleander would definately cause poisoning if stabbed into someone. if concentrated and isolated, it should work well spread onto a sharp blade.

In our other run, we utilize honing and also poison.
5e does list poisons that do certain things, but the cost is prohibitively high. For example:
Drow Poison (Injury):
A poison typically made by drow, requiring a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or the target is poisoned for 1 hour, and possibly unconscious if the save fails by 5 or more.
Purple Worm Poison (Injury):
A potent poison requiring a DC 19 Constitution saving throw, dealing 42 (12d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.
Serpent Venom (Injury):
A common poison, requiring a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or the target is poisoned for 1 hour.
Poisoned condition: A poisoned creature has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.
So they're great and their cost is hundreds of gold in some cases.
I am offering to share the three poison system based on cooking, tinkering, or alchemy skill.
The process is as follows: you forage while looking for specific plant species, I have 6 so far such as datura, oleander and hemlock. You will find some amount of it each time you forage successfully. A single forage is a variable amount of time but almost always guarantees you find something. When you find at least three components, you can make some number of doses of weapon grade poison that can be applied to slashing or piercing weapons. The poison is only expended if the weapon hits.
You can also make bait: 1 raton and three doses of poison that can be used on a creature if they eat it.
In any case they have various effects that are unknown to you and based on rolls:
1 roll based on your crafting/cooking/alchemy skill will determine the quality of the poison
6 separate rolls will determine the effects such as DC and including stun, unconsious, nausia, straight damage, poison, or other conditions. There is the potential for 3 stacking effects per batch of poison. 1 batch is say 10 uses and uses up 1 pound or 10 portions of each of 3 poisons.
This is still WIP, but if you're interested in foraging extra damage to enemies on first hit and not just from honing, then I can add it to your game. In this case, honing will be a necessary step for poisoning a weapon and this includes arrows, so they don't stack.
Otherwise you can continue to hone weapons and in addition arrows, in our run, a blade takes 30 minutes and an arrow takes 15 minutes. They both get +1 for hit and damage.

You simply climb up using your climbing move, affix the ladder, then ascend and descend for no speed bonus. And it only weighs 25 lbs!

"She didn't have to carry them far, we just picked them up on the way in." Ashley says as she also piles supplies onto the nearest table.
