 Thieves and Fighters are assumed to know their way around the valuation and disposal of loot and plunder.  Therefore, if you have at least one character or henchman in the party of either class, the Judge will reveal the basic market value of all items such as gems, jewelry and art objects found. \\
-When you have gathered treasure, various items such as gems will have a cash value.   You may sell them only at a Castle, Town or City.  Selling them at a castle will only yield 50% of cash value, a town 75% and a city 100% of the price.  The Judge can impose a period of 1d6 days to dispose of loot in a city, while in a town or castle it will only take single day.   If you don’t happen to have a Thief or Fighter to appraise things, you’ll only yield 25% of the market price no matter where you sell things.\\
