Ransom for Retirement (El Jefe Judging)

[Findlefarb]

OOC: [SBLOCK]Fenwick's statements were after the conversation with the clerk. I somehow missed that the conversation was with the clerk.[/SBLOCK]

 

[SlagMortar]

OOC: Hey, I guessed right then. So, current time is late morning and the conversation with the clerk continues with the party's response. Action!

Fenwick thought for a moment and responded philosophically, "You can always get what you want, as long as you recognize what the price is."

He turned to the clerk. "But yes, being involved in stealing a caravan is very bad for business, and a great way to get thrown out of town. You're right for not hiring a scoundrel like that for your company. By the way, which company do you work for?"

 

[SlagMortar]

"I'm one of Rupert Vaneelkelen's book keepers."

You've heard of Rupert before. Bit of an eccentric character who is wealthy enough to be more concerned about acquiring the interesting than the profitable.

Kyle pulls the leg of lamb he has been eating for breakfast from his mouth long enough to say "Should we maybe just strike out for Apple Glade, it would seem it is on our way" to his companions before cracking the almost bare bone in half and sucking the marrow from within it with loud slurping sounds.

 

[SlagMortar]

OOC: I'm waiting for responses.

"I think that we should head out for Apple Glade. If we make the trip quickly, we can be back in time to head out with Mr. Hessen. Agreed?" Deos looks around to his comrades.

"I think a bit of travel would do us all good after a few days of sitting idly in the Red Dragon." Semabin concurs

OOC: The clerk who hired the party provided 500 gp to procure initial supplies. Please provide a markup of what is being purchased prior to leaving Orussus.

 

[IcyCool]

OOC: A wagon, five light horses, and tack for three horses should run around 446gp. That gives us three riders, and the other 3 (Tinner, are you still in?) can ride in the wagon. Deos will mention the idea to the group. If they are up for it, we'll be on our way.
