The rakshasas' loot

Out of the small party of shape-shifting rakshasa, one is dead, two are unconscious, and one has surrendered under duress and not a small amount of Fear.  He introduces himself as Raji.  He seems unwilling to prevent you from looting the fallen, but is not interested in giving you his things.  He gives you the names of his surviving co-conspirators: the Judge Eve impersonator is Raschid, and the mage-turned-assassin is Sonia.

Raschid has:

Four platinum rings with various inlaid gemstones (and a definite bias towards rubies), each worth 2,000 gp each.

A stunning blue-and-red cloak, embroidered in threads of gold and mithral.  It's clearly the sort of thing worn either by royalty, or a complete plutocrat, and is worth 15,000 gp.

Sonia was carrying:

A small pouch containing 5,000 gp worth in residuum.

A rough, cold iron ring on one finger.  Fear's seen one of these on Shemeska's fingers - it's a ring of dread, created to prey on your enemy's fears and make them more vulnerable to attack.  (Adventurer's Vault, p. 158)

The dead swordscat was only carrying simple, locally-bought equipment, equivalent to what Raji is wearing and wielding.  If he has anything else, he hasn't shared that with the party.
