Editing Josephine's Steamer Trunk

==Trunk Description==
[[Image:JGAsSteamerTrunk.jpg|300x300px|left]] Because it is quite the behemoth, Josephine stows the trunk in a secure location and packs items from it in a more manageable valise that she carries with her.  What Josephine is likely to have in the trunk is listed below but it is by no means an exclusionary list.  The contents vary with Josephine's fortunes but when fully stocked, it's got everything she needs.
