>Actually the idea the fish would be worth that much goes against the concepts of supply and deman-
If you read the story the first thing that's mentioned is that an entire town has been obliterated and they're gathering the survivors.
Presumably the largest fishing village/town in the area, the one with the most abundant source of fish, ect.

At which point fish in a form that's long term storable goes from cheap food to premium product.
>And now we get to watch in excitement as Fishfag continues his crusade to pick flaws with an off-the-cuff story told months ago by some rando because he's as physically incapable of letting something to as a pitbull with the postmans thumb up its arse.

>You can't fund a coup using fish! That's an absurd story!
And thus why it's memorable. Players got to do something they usually wouldn't and the DM didn't wag his finger or go 'You can't do that, get back to fighting goblins for their cumsocks', he rolled with it.
The fact they blew the money on a temporary good (Mercenaries) to advance their own goals (Doing a coup) is pure OSR.
And the fact that there's one poster that gets so god damn angry about it is why it's pure entertainment.
