I have only 43 gold pieces, but with somac's generosity, we should be able to acquire a wagon, some mules, and enough provisions for the journey. Scun, while a extradimensional container of some sort would be ideal, I'm afraid we could not afford one that could carry enough provisions for all of us, much less have enough left over to stock the very provisions we need. Concerning the wagon breaking down in the desert, does anyone have any skill in woodworking? I know from my father the blacksmith that wagons are made to be repaired on the road, though I followed other paths and did not acquire the skill to do so. Regardless, we can make do with normal travelling rations and on foot until we have to strike out into the wilderness, but I would like to have a plan in place and money set aside for when we will need it.
OOC:
Currently the money on the table is :
Somac 443
Cade 20
A'jardin 43
Tandi 5
Anton 104
for a total of 615gp, which I believe is enough to get two mules and a wagon and 3 1/2 months of rations with a bit left over(total of 576gp, which is what Rystil said for two horses, wagon, and rations, but minus the cost of the horses and add the cost of two mules). Two people have not said how much they have (or how much they are willing to part with, which is also fine in my book). Unless the remaining two have about 400 gp between them and are willing to spend it, it looks like a pair of mules is the way to go.
If you don't like having all your eggs in one basket, we could get two mules and two carts instead of two mules and a wagon, or even three mules and three carts, which would cost a bit more, but we could lose a cart and keep going. Also though, this would require multiple drivers, and I don't know how many of the characters have handle animal.
Overall, I'd like to get two mules and two carts if anyone besides Cade has Handle Animal and two mules and a wagon if he's the only one with that skill. It's simple, relatively cheap, and gets us on the road.
