au where the bleach kids end up in a dnd world
if paper costs 2sp per a0 sheet, and parchment costs 1sp per same, as well as ink costing 10gp, and ink pens being 2cp per piece, and chalk being 1 cp per, how long would it take for a scribe to make their money back?
a6 sheet fits 4 into an a4, and there are 16 a4 in an a0, then there are 64 a6 pieces in an a0 sheet.
an unskilled hireling costs 2sp per diem, and a skilled one 2gp. a marketplace scribe for hire, ideally, would like two clients per hour of sunlight. if they charge 2cp per sheet, and work six hours (accounting for travel & food & other necessities), then they make 12cp in a day, or 1sp 2cp.
if by doing this, they work for six days, taking the sabbath as rest, then in a sevenday they would make - before any deductions - 6sp. now, if they charge 5 copper for a single side and 8 for both, and take six clients wanting single sided messages and four for double, in a six hour day they would make 6 silver and 2 copper.
in this way, even if the scribe receives only 6 clients wanting a single-sided message in a six hour workday, they will make in a sevenday (excluding the sabbath), they would make 15sp.
if the scribe pays in advance for a single room in a shared residence for one month of 30 days, receiving a discount of 1gp for paying in advance, this still costs 5gp. assuming a 140gp total budget, the scribe must spend 5gp for lodgings, as well as 11gp and 1sp for tools, as well as a 5cp/day (1gp & 3sp) market fee for setting up a stall, this leaves a remainder of 122gp & 6sp.
the scribe then purchases a diplomat's pack for 39gp, gaining them additional items. this then leaves the scribe with 83 gp & 6sp. a bedroll and two blankets costs an additional 2gp (81 gp, 6sp). a bucket and five candles costs 1 silver (81gp, 5sp). meals of a poor standard (for two, for a month) costs 3gp 6sp (77gp 9sp). as the scribe's companion is in a poorly way, they purchase a healer's kit (5gp) (72gp 9sp). the scribe then purchases a calligrapher's set of tools (10gp) (62gp 9sp).
