J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

[Scotley]

Angelo

"Would you prefer a cart or wagon or are you content to try and keep pace with mounted men?"

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tetsu

"A heavy horse or warhorse can keep pace with me, if the horse is unemcumbered. I travel about the pace of a light riding horse, if it's carrying an average size man. I can easily keep up with pack horses, so you shouldn't have to hold back on my account. If we wish to take a cart, I could drive in, shall we say, placid circumstances!"

 

[Scotley]

Angelo

Angelo considers for a moment. "I fear our journey will be anything but placid. I guess a surefooted mule or two would be best and perhaps a spare mount or two?"

 

[SirCaith]

Lucien Montrose

Lucien nods. "Mules, yes, but get pack horses for the spare mounts. Riding horses won't be comfortable carrying freight, while riding pack horses, if it comes to it, won't bother them. They just view a person as just another weight. The ride might not be as comfortable or fast as on a riding horse, but you will get there. This way, we can carry more supplies without overburdening any one beat, plus, all we would need to do is re-apportion loads if someone needs to ride."

 

[Scotley]

Angelo

"A sound strategy sir knight. I suggest we try to make our purchases today and be at the gates ready to depart when the open on the morrow." He gestures at his list, "I think we need food, fresh water, fodder for the animals, maps, tents, bedrolls, extra bolts for my crossbow and other wilderness gear. Am I forgetting anything?"

The Commission

Taking their breafeast in the common room, the party sees the day remain overcast and cloudy with intermittent rain falling. A miserable day for sure. Eating his meal Angelo finds it somewhat awarkward as Cat is no sitting in his lap forcing him to eat around him so to speak. Some slight noise can be heard coming from the hallway outside and from the streete below.

Angelo

"Better add rain slickers and woolens to the list," grouses Angelo looking out the window. Abandoning his seat to the cat, grilled cheese in hand, he goes over to get a better look outside and see what's happening on the streets today.

 

[J. Alexander]

The Commission

Going to the window, Angelo obeserve more or less normal traffic ont he steets. The only odd thing would be the number of wagons delivering goods at this hour.

 

[Scotley]

Angelo

"Looks like a lot of wagons in the street." Pondering for a moment he adds, "I wonder if people are laying in supplies to weather a seige? We better gather some supplies of our own and be on our way before we find shortages or the gates barred."
