OOC: And so I return! Thanks for waiting for me. I need to get settled again, so I may not be posting as often as I'd like for the next week or so, but I'll be around.
Fehl obviously isn't in Antreil when you arrive, but Mr. Felton is working the counter at 'Tons' magic store. When you present the bag to him, he gives it a thorough examining and removes one of the balls, which again turns into a bat, which flits about Mr. Felton's head. He nods and says, "An interesting bag, but not the most useful I've ever seen. I can give you... 30 dragons for it." After some haggling, you work him up to 45, "But no more than that!" As he takes the bag and writes you a bill of lading to fill at the local bank, he mutters, "I'll never make a profit off this thing." The bank cashes the bill for you, and 45 platinum pieces are now yours.
You check into a decent inn and have a decent dinner.
5sp per person sleeping in the inn (I have a feeling Lasair and the Four J's will be sleeping outside)
3sp per person eating dinner in town (or subtract 1 day's trail rations)
[Distance traveled: 933 + 24 = 957 miles]
[Time: 23 days]
Cludge obtains his throwing axes for the standard price.
Conuld's scroll is scribed in a short enough time period that the party need only stay in Antreil for one day.
Asking around the tavern, you find out that the hills become rockier and harsher as you head southeast, and a mountain range eventually emerges to the south. When he arrives, Fehl tells you about the trip to Sairundan. It's about a month's travel to the desert, and then another month through the desert to the Sairundan capital city, Helatia.
Kurgahz asks Fehl about the settlements between Antreil and the desert edge. Fehl seems put off when the half-orc addresses him. "Eh, yes, there are towns here and there," he answers dismissively. He mentions something about hiring a guard for his cargo and bids you all farewell.
Throughout the day you eat some food. For the night, you go back to the same inn.
5sp per person sleeping in the inn (Lasair and co. outside again?)
6sp per person eating food in town (or subtract 1 day's trail rations)
[Distance traveled: 957 + 0 = 957 miles]
[Time: 24 days]
It's now the morning, Conuld's scroll is finished, and the soft, rolling hills stretch out before you.
OOC: Anything I missed before we move on? Yes, I missed stuff, and hopefully the magenta text takes care of all that.
