Deos glances at the pouch of gold that is their advance. "In order to travel that far in two weeks time and still have the opportunity to have a look around, we'll need to travel by horseback, or by river barge."
He hefts the bag and says, "This will not quite cover the purchase of such transportation for the six of us, though we may be able to arrange some sort of rental agreement. Unless, of course, Mr. Hessen will provide us with transportation. We'll also need food." His eyes dart over to the Priest of Geoth, "Lots of food."
