"That depends, are we travelling on horseback, and if so are the horses provided by the Halaran's or must we provide our own. Do we need to bring our own provisions or will they feed us. What is the approximate time and distance that we will be travelling. I have some things I would like to get, but I would not commit to them until I knew what resources I have to spend on travel and provisions." Pharos gives Sarwen a look as though the realities of travel and adventure had just dawned on him.

"You will indeed be traveling on horseback. The Halarans have a string of horses for their own people, along with a few spares. Those that don't have their own mounts can borrow a horse from them. They're not combat-trained beasts though, so I'd think twice before riding them into battle. As I said, it will be about three weeks' travel, about six hundred seventy miles or so, provided you have no delays. As for provisions, they'll feed you, but they favor pretty bland food. For religious reasons and such, they're doing some kind of 'internal clensing' on this journey. While you will be going through some towns, I might recomment picking up some trail rations or something. Ours are half-decent at least," Sarwen says, rapidly firing off the answers to your questions.

"Hmmm...I suppose I would like to purchase some trail rations from you then...", Zafira replies to Sarwen. "As to the question of mounts, I have my own."

"I shall not be needing a mount, I already own one. However, a few potions that cure minor wounds would most certainly be appreciated. How much would said potions cost?
"For potions of healing, one would best ask Brother Pharos. As for trail rations, the general goods store has those."

*Her eyes glaring at the comment made by Jabin, she hears Sarwen and her mind is averted for a second.*
He seems afraid of the inevitable. We are all on the same path. Let us traverse this path together and see where it brings us. Perhaps they will begin to understand fate.
Turning to Sarwen, "If our advance payment can be used to purchase items at this time, then I would need a Light Warhorse just in case. I am hoping that you know of where I can get a horse such as this and one with a riding saddle, bit and bridle? In regards to their grazing and feed, three weeks is a long time, and the feed will be heavy. Will the Pilgrims have enough feed for our steeds as well, will they graze throughout the three weeks, or should we purchase feed as well? I must say that the feed will be much heavier than I would like to carry on my horse, but if we must, then it will be done."
"And this path that were are to take? How far until the next village that we can restock our feed and rations? I would like to take enough to make it there and restock instead of carrying such a large load and hoping that it does not rot. And this next village or town, what can you tell us of it?"

"The pilgrams have some wagons, and they will be carrying some grain for their horses, so you could put any grain you buy on their wagons. The grazing is pretty good around here, so they can graze for a good part of their food, but some grain will be necessary. As for horses, my dear this is the place of the best horses in Low'verok! Certainly you can get a horse in this town. Just go to the Horse Trainer's Guild and they should be able to outfit you easily.
"The path is marked, and the pilgrims have a map, but as I said the country is rough, and the towns start to get two or three days' ride apart near the end of their journey. But as for resupply you should be able to get very basic supplies at most of the towns. The next town over that you'll be stopping at is called Garnet Well. They breed the Garnet horses we sell here; very lovely showy beasts they are too. It's smaller than Willow Grove, but has a half-dozen guildhalls."

"Those who need healing potions or scrolls should visit the temple of Pelor. Tell the clerics there that you will be traveling in my company and you should receive these at an agreeable price." Pharos speaks to the room.
"As for myself, I will need a horse and shall contact the horse trainer's guild. I would also like to purchase a weeks worth of trail rations, if you would be so kind, Sarwen." Pharos nods to Sarwen as he speaks.

"While I am not a very skilled rider, I do not wish to be a burden on those whom we are protecting, so I will need to purchase a mount as well. Also, as we will be entering areas where our safety is not always assured, I would like to look at the guild's scroll collection to see if there may be a spell or two that would come in handy on the road."
*Listening as his companions as Sarwen a wide gambit of questions, Jabin thinks about asking a question here or there, but still feels extremely out of place among the others.*
I know I am being foolish, but they seem to be more than capable of making this trip without my assistance. Perhaps I should ask Sarwen later if she is sure she would not rather I stay here and help her out further...

*Ashlie, seeing that others are needing to visit the Horse Trainers Guild, feels a little relieved. Her riding dog used to be her masters, but since her leave, he insisted that Shilo accompany her. After all, they had grown close and the dog regarded her as much its companion as it did for the halfling.*
"So would it be best to spilt our forces for now, until we take leave? It seems that it would be quicker. Some of us would need to visit the Horse Trainers Guild, others would go speak with the clerics at the Temple, and the rest could get the rations and other supplies that the group would need from the general store. I myself would not pass up a chance to acquire another pair of Cure Light Wounds potions, for the right price, I mean Donation, of course..."
*She begins scratching her neck again, and quickly brings back her hand.*
I must control myself. I am sure that the others are as nervous as I am, but I grow weary of waiting.
