North by Northwest, Chapter 2.5: Caster and Mouse

Cian's mind races. The Surface World! "If we follow this wizard's advice we'll need mountaineering and cold weather gear. Should we return to the village and gather supplies and perhaps leave him there?" He shurgs nervously, "You all know him, I don't should we trust what he says?"

[sblock]Just a slight bump -- until y'all make a decision on your plans, we're at an impasse.[/sblock]

“We should let him go, but we keep his belongings as an insurance; this should slow him down quite a bit. When he spoke true, which we will find out soon enough, if we meet again on peaceful terms, he can have them back then.”

 

[Starman]

Cellan nods. "After we, uh, let him go, I guess we can decide where to go," he says before helping to strip their captive of everything but his clothing.

"Be sure to turn out all pockets, folds and pouches. Even the simplest mundane item can be a spell component. Taking all such items will make it harder for him to return to full power."

 

[Old Fezziwig]

[sblock]Fair enough. I'm going to make two assumptions:

1. You strip the body. The caster puts up no fight, and you find nothing new.

2. The group goes back to Cian's village to stock up. Deniel's men are out on the march, which is not unusual, but that's really the only difference from before. You're able to acquire the equipment you desire, although most of it is designed for use in the caves, not in the open weather. It should, however, be durable enough.

In the meantime, please check the OOC thread. You can continue talking about what to do next here, but that decision won't be adjudicated until the next thread.[/sblock]
