OOC:

a quick question: there are 4 of us and 1 lizard, right?

[sblock=don't open pending answer to above question]
After several minutes of thought Earmy starts rattling off some numbers:

"How's this,
as mentioned, a cart pulled by on horse, the driver for the day. We pick the
driver for the day by drawing out of a hat. once we have the first 4, we keep
to that schedule.

Code:

equipment:
 1 cart                               15 gp     200 lb
 4 light warhorses               600 gp
 (one can pull 690 lb at about 4 miles per day)
 bit, bridle, saddle, bags X 4      64 gp 34 lb per horse 

Bait:
4  ten gllen kegs each labeled in draconic:  360 lb
 tears of the royal dragon, 
 will actually have fine wine      500 gp (I will buy that)
 Orc's blood (good Ale from 
 one ale house)                      4 gp
 Troll gut rot (another good ale 
 from a different ale house          4 gp
 Bear Wizz (honey mead)              4 gp 
 2 sacks of flour                    2.2 gp 201 lb
 A chest (will have
 most of our rations in it.)         2 gp     25 lb

our supplies for travel and for possible traps
 56 days rations (4 people at 2 wks ea)    28 gp     56 lb

horses, so the cost will be lessened by that much more.

The professor had been studying his notes in the meantime, looking for accounts of kobold dietary preferences. He found several, but "... unless one of us is willing to serve as, well, cannon fodder..." the group would not be able to provide this bait. He concluded that alcohol would be a good idea, as well, as firewater had been the downfall of many a civilization. and many a scholar... he thought, as he poured a drink.

[sblock=OOC]

Are the goods already bought? If not, would we want to skip the further details of the provisioning and rather say we buy a variety or cheap goods, especially drinks, and set a maximum amount? And then proceed?
