Ivita said, "Considering the destruction you've brought to our village, we believe that before your retreat, you should compensate us with at least 3700 gold pounds."
In this era, the purchasing power of gold pounds is still immense.
The land of a village might be worth just over a hundred gold pounds, houses could be a bit more expensive with the total value of buildings in a village possibly reaching one or two hundred gold pounds.
Rayli's last offer at the Burnt Wine Inn, did include some intentional difficulty.
In reality, an inn located in a forest couldn't possibly be valued at 40 gold pounds.
And the purchasing power of 3700 gold pounds is formidable, enough to equip an entire militia.
