"Trust me, I grew up sleeping in far worse conditions than an even patch of ground."But let's get the horses taken care of before they natter at us all night," he says, changing the subject. He shifts the lot of them to the thickest area of grass on which they might graze, then looks for a watering hole as they're kept busy. "Gotta imagine this wouldn't be such a popular campsite without at least a stream nearby. Galadra, you know the wood better than the rest of us, probably. Help me find it?"[sblock=ooc]The bedroll, at least, wasn't an oversight on my part. So far as I'm aware, there are no mechanical penalties for sleeping without a bedroll. Ru was raised as part of the poorest, shunned caste in Rhat'matanis. He literally slept in garbage at times. Given that, sleeping on the ground would be something he wouldn't think twice about. In fact, I think it's more than in keeping with his character to say he thinks it's foolish to overtax himself carrying around what his upbringing would see as a portable luxury. Mind you, his background also makes him a fine opportunist, so he's not going to say no to the people offering; he's just not going to put his life in danger (i.e. reduce his mobility and stealth skills, some of his most important assets) for it. On the matter of horses, I honestly assumed setting animals to graze was a given part of setting up camp. If you're saying we needed to have purchased feed for them, that's a new one on me. We might need Lem to do another herbalist check to find something suitable.Looks like no one has a bucket, but as I had Ru say IC, it wouldn't make much sense for this to be a popular campsite without a nearby water supply.[/sblock]</blockquote>
