Night's Embrace: Part 1--A Touch of Darkness

[Legildur]

"We'll need swift horses to reach the forest within a week," says Blunt. "I've got no idea how we'll go about getting them though."

Titus Farrab, human ranger

"We'll need swift horses to reach the forest within a week," says Blunt. "I've got no idea how we'll go about getting them though."

Titus shrugs. "How much do we have left from that gem?" he wonders aloud. "Between the rent and the classes--and our bad luck with money anyway--I'm not sure we want to blow what we have left on horses. Besides, that's five more mouths we'd have to feed on the road.

"Hey, you don't suppose there's any caravans heading that way? Maybe we could hire on. Free ride and some pocket change that way."

 

[Legildur]

Blunt scratches his bald head and grimaces. "A caravan or wagon would still be slow. It's a week's ride on a fast horse. Still, better than walking."

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Blunt and Titus think that there probably wouldn't be many caravans headed thataways. Farmer's wagons maybe, but they wouldn't be going all the way. And the locals give the forest a fairly wide berth, so the last stretch would be alone in any case. Even if they managed to find someone hiring guards, they would need to go to that person's destination, which may be out of the way. At that point, walking with one hour of hustle and then a forced march until someone gets exhausted would cover ground quite a bit faster, if significantly less comfortably)

 

[Legildur]

Blunt looks across to Kel following Titus' question about the remaining wealth from the gem. "Could the Princess perhaps help us out with mounts? Cna't hurt to ask."

 

[Shayuri]

(doop...Su and Kel aren't in on this convo...nevermind...as you were. )

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Aren't they? Blunt looked to Kel in one of the posts)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: You guys spent 500 on Kel's classes and 100 on Blunt's library access which, I believe, leaves you with 500ish left. That's enough for horses, though you might have wanted to buy a CLW wand as well.)

 

[Legildur]

Is a Wand of Lesser Vigor and option? Nahlia could use that (assuming she comes with us). It is more 'efficient' at recovering hit points, just not in a hurry in the middle of combat

 

[jkason]

((OOC: If we only have 500ish left, I don't think we can get any wands, can we? Unless Kel or Nhalia get some kind of discount now.

If we can't do wands, I definitely think we need to get a couple of potions; we seem to be quite good at getting the snot kicked out of us. ))
