[Dark Sun] Marauders of the Dune Sea

[Insight]

"If we are to be traveling in the desert wastes," Darus says, "It will be most urgent to acquire rations, water, and other supplies. I'll be purchasing said supplies before we leave. I suggest the rest of you do likewise. I'm sure the merchants around this square have the necessary items."

OOC: Standard "survival day" is 5gp. Not sure if it would be any cheaper or more expensive in Tyr. Darus will purchase 4 "survival days" for 20gp.

"I do not eat," Omega let Darus know. "I do not drink. I will help carry supplies." It paused, then added, "I do not become lost. I can help navigate the desert."

 

[Moon_Goddess]

OOC: Tyr despite the chaos it quite cosmopolitan, standard price for survival days 5GP each

"I'm afraid I do not have much more information to give you about the ruin, and my source, naturally wishes to remain private. As for dangers I would watch out for the standard raiders"


Your group leaves the tavern to buy supplies.

[sblock="Ya'tta, Kasha, Darius"]

As you leave the tavern you notice an elf that was sitting near your table got up and followed you out, but as soon as you hit the stalls to buy supplies he went on his own way and you lost him in the crowd.[/sblock]

"I do not eat," Omega let Darus know. "I do not drink. I will help carry supplies." It paused, then added, "I do not become lost. I can help navigate the desert."

OOC: This is a pretty major advantage in Athas. Just sayin'

Eben stops at a stall and purchases another 10 days worth of rations and water skins, which he stows about his person after handing over a fistful ceeps.

He turns to regard his new compainions. I do not know these people. I do not believe I know of their reputations either. I must be on my guard, they may have templar sympathies, he thinks to himself.

"Two weeks in the desert, sounds like almost a good idea give the unrest within the walls of Tyr right now," he says to the others. "If we move quickly, we can be out the gate this afternoon and travel in the cool of the dusk."

Garok

After buying nearly the same items as Eben, Garok makes a suggestion:
"Is there a mekillot caravan passing near this ruins? We could take guard work to get an extra pay while traveling and ride in a wagon on this huge beasts."

[Nickriel]

Belros follows behind some others that are visiting merchants. He waits for the crowd to clear, then asks the merchant what the people were buying.

Upon learning it was rations, he realizes he only has enough ceramic pieces for 5 days. If the others were buying for a week, I'll have to make do or find something along the way.

Belros buys 5 days worth of rations and goes back to following the group.

Garok

Garok realizes that he lacks the money to buy all the things he wanted. Perhaps they really should try to make some money on the way. Wagon guards at least got something to drink and eat.
