Prices can vary for a multitude of reasons. The prices presented here are the base prices. If things are hard to come by the price will be more. If there is a tournament the prices will be higher. Other things can drive the prices down. And haggling is always the final price.

Haggle is simple. If you don't have a Haggling Trait. Just roll 2d6. If you succeed the price drops in your favor. If not, the price goes up. Don't try to roll again as it will always go up after that. It's a one roll kind of thing. In some cases, it might be at a Disadvantage. With the Haggling Trait you have Advantage.

As for the gold coins carried initially by the characters. These are all Gold Marks. If you would like you can certainly change the type of coinage carried so that you are running around with 10 gold gccos in your purse.

The basic coin used is the Silver Penny and most merchants tend to use the Silver coins while peasants use the Copper Farthing. Nobles use the Gold coins.

Most of the coins are no bigger than a man's thumbnail. Although some of the Gold coins are bigger than that.

They can be worse than aging academics about that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinitarian_formula is an article on the phrase.

QuoteThe Trinitarian formula is the phrase "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" (Koinē Greek: εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος, romanized: eis to ónoma toû Patros kai toû Huioû kai toû Hagíou Pneúmatos; Latin: in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti), or words to that form and effect, referring to the three persons of the Christian Trinity. It is often followed by an "amen"...

According to the doctrines of Roman Catholicism, Oriental Orthodoxy, Eastern Orthodoxy, and most forms of Protestantism, such as Lutheranism, Calvinism and Anglicanism, a baptism is not valid unless the Trinitarian formula is used in the administration of that sacrament.

So it isn't just demons who insist on it.

Homoousios versus homoiousios: an iota's difference could literally get you killed.

Yeah, it's their favorite way of sticking it to the humans they make deals with.

Yikes! I didn't know demons were so pedantic.

When the demon burst its bonds, he threw The Black Grimoire of the Shadowed Path at it, though little good it did.

He had moments to gabble out "Exorcizo te, in nomine Patri et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, amen--" before the demon's paw grabbed his lower face.

He could not speak, only widen his eyes in terror when the demon leaned towards him and whispered, "'Pater, patris'. You didn't say the 's'."

He never spoke again, unless screams count.

Me too. When he was vested as as a priest the hair stood up on the back of my neck.  I did see QEII's coronation (black and white, Mrs Jackson-across-the-road's telly) but was only four.
