[AU] Stone Bones

[Rybaer]

Leesea flits about the others, quietly amused with how they're admiring their new toys.

"Indeed," she says, "this stop on our journey seems to have proven exceptionally useful. May it be a good portent for the rest of our quest. Now, we really should try to round everyone up and finish getting our supplies."

What she leaves unmentioned is that nagging in the back of her mind that the information and items provided by Vesune and Lykis seemed almost too convenient.

Oh, stop being such a skeptic, she silently berates herself. Perhaps the fates are just smiling upon us.

*Before leaving Atlas speaks "I humbly thank you for your time and information."

He then lays ten gleaming platinum pieces on the counter and turns to meet up with his friends.*

OOC: DM could I please have information on the two items mentioned.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Darthallys, the woman grins at your joke, and considers for a moment.*

"How long are you going underground? And how many are going with you? Food will be important of course. Fresh water will be essential. I know there is some water underground but not all of it is good to drink. We have some alchemical pellets that will make clean water, but they are not terribly cheap. But rope yes, climbing equipment, lights, picks, shovels, chain, oil... and depending on how far you're going to be gone, weapons would be in order. Something to keep your warm when you sleep, as burning things isn't suggested down there, the smoke lingers and can choke you. And some way to keep time. Hmm... a way to help you get across water, unless you all swim..." she trails off, thinking.

Darthallys listens with an open expression on his face to the shopkeeper's suggestions. After considering them, he replies, "Long enough that I'm interested in your entire stock of hard tack. Any food that will keep for an extended period. We'll supplement our food with underground edibles as we can. I'll need 200 feet of rope, hemp is fine. I've got climbing equipment, although a pick and a shovel would be handy. Light shouldn't be an issue. 4 good sized blankets, at least one of which needs to fit a Giant. Hopefully my companions can tend to thier own weapons, if not, the expedition should be a short one. And while interesting, the alchemical pellets are likely more expensive than I'm looking to spend. I don't want to rely on a handful of pellets when there's no telling how long it will take to find and set shattered mythical bones. As to crossing water, we've sprytes and rope for open channels. Hopefully we'll not need to traverse completely submerged rivers. A bridge we'll cross when we come to it, if you'll pardon the pun."

*Kelthet suddenly blinks, as he considers Phaern's words.*

"Food." *He speaks loud enough for everyone to hear him, and looks around, then checks into his pack. "Do we have food? Enough for a long journey underground? Fiery steel, but that's going to be important!" He begins calculating just how long he could survive on the food in his pack. As he does, he looks at Incandalis. "I've heard that those of the Green can tell when food and water are safe. Is that a truth? Can you tell for us underground?"

 

[Erekose13]

While waiting for Indacalis to reply to Kelthet's question, Phaern will ask the others, "So does any one know where Darthallys went? We should see if he is ready for the journey and gather the rest of the supplies that we need."

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Darthallys, the woman's eyes widen at your comments.*

"The entire stock? I think we have about three years' worth on hand, but that would be for a single person. Of course a giant eats about twice that and a spryte less than half that. Rope we have in plenty, spades and shovels will be no problem, I think we have a dozen each, and we have plenty of blankets. Good wool ones from local sheep, plenty warm and plenty large, even big enough for a giant. How tall is he?"

*Kelthet, Indacalis nods to your question.*

"Yes, a servent of the Green can tell if water or food is pure."

*Phaern, hopefully if Darthallys hasn't managed to say anything too rash, there is a general goods store in town, and that's probably where he is.*

 

[dead_radish]

*Kelthet nods.* "That will help, at least. We should travel to that store - we will need provisions, unless he has purchased for all of us...."

 

[rangerjohn]

"Yes, that was his stated intention. " Atlas replies. ~I hope his mood has improved, no more jokes either~ he thinks to himself.

 

[Erekose13]

"To the general goods store then. Let's get this quest underway." Phaern says, in a great mood at this the begining of such a momentus journey. He flies up above the others and heads towards the store leading the way.
