"Yes, Yes. Please come and save my wife from the fishy frog men. You look like a proud warrior. There will be a lot of fighting for you to do."
The wounded man stands up, "Let's go to the stable to get fresh horses. We will find your friend either there or in the shops as we head back west to the waterline."
The man walks out the door expecting you to follow. His pace is slow due to his injuries, but he heads straight east to the Grand Stable of Venza. The stables are hidden behind a 15' tall berm of earth lined with thick brush trees along the top. There is a noticeable breeze heading towards the stable. As you pass through the 20' wide entrance, you can see the full expanse of the stable. Many pens hold different types of livestock and riding animals. Near the center of the complex is what looks like a sixty foot high aviary dome.
"Jay-Cus, we need horses. Fast ones and now."
I haven't seen you in a ..."
"I said now old friend."
"Oh, How many and how long?"
"Six. At least a week, ah make it two weeks."
Jacus turns and starts barking orders as he heads into a barn. Five minutes later he and other stable hands lead out six fine light warhorses outfitted for a long ride.
The man approaches the stable hand and pulls out an elegant golden comb or maybe hair piece. "This should cover the bill for now. I will bring proper coins when I return, so don't hock that. I will want it back for Sara."
Turning to your group, "These horses are the property of the Grand Stable. you shall agree to return them" "Never mind, I will give them the speech later."
[sblock=ooc]You have horses. They move 60'. They come with a saddle, bit, bridle, saddlebags, 14 days feed in feedbags, 3 days water in horse appropriate waterskins, horses blanket and brush. The horse's name is etched into the saddle in common. You can pick its name yourself if you desire.
You can visit the Mystic Pearl for last minute shopping. You will catch Aradra just coming out of the Pearl as you are arriving. I am a stickler for supplies, so don't skimp. Kalgor is an example of overdone and going overboard, and Kalinn is/was an example of too light. Everyone should have their own healing stick or be prepared to hand over gold to the person that shares their's.
