I presumed you'd have put the robes back on after displaying them on the sword, and they would be drenched and tattered after you took them through a crowd. But that's no major plot point, can be changed. You're still rather ragged looking, full of cuts and bruises, so I have enough to work with. 

It's not required to advance the storyline. You decide where you want to go, I flesh out the world, next to the little storyline of Kaylee and her Tin Can Guardian. It's like GTA. If you spend the next two pages screwing around in Telflamm, get a wife and have some kids, who am I to judge?

Heck, if you're wandering around topless, that's even better for the story.

Hmm, I envisioned as the gold being carried in a purse somewhere close to the top of the pack, which an experienced thief would be able to spot(a novice you'd have seen due to your backstory).

I'll change the post a bit to focus on you being bloody and battered instead of your clothing. Thanks for bringing this up!

EDIT: Done. Seems like the tattered robes were only mentioned once, so it was an easy fix.
