"Not the kind you could use my friend. Now if want a holy wand of druid smiting or dwarf slaying they probably have those." He smiles. "Anyway, my experience with sea travel is that the food aboard ship is very poor unless you bring some of your own. We'll need things that can last us even after we arrive as well as things to use up on the journey. I don't expect their will be any markets where we are going. I'm sure you have the wilderness skills to find food, but I'll starve if I don't stock up." He considers and adds, "Can you make those goodberries? Not very exciting, but they will keep us fed in hard times."

"Buy what you think you will need to get the colony establishd, pay what you must I am afraid the time tabel has been serverly escalated. I would suggest foodstuffs, hardware, livestock, anything you can think of really you each have 10 tons of space alloated...make the best of it.. the young nobel replies.

"Yes, I can, at that! But, as you say, while they can be heaven sent in lean times, they are not exactly the most palatable fare one can find! Let's get lots of food that won't spoil quickly, like bacon, and other cured meats. You're right, we should be able to find plenty of vegetables and fruits at our destination. Still, a certain amount of those foods would also be advisable to bring with us."Scotley said:

Ederin raises his brow, his plans suddenly disrupted "Wait wait wait, friend, are you telling us that we are going to make our departure so soon? Without the time to recruit additional people? Or gather additional funds? Such a hurry can lead to the disaster, especially in an operation that has to be carefully planned and exectuted. We will curse for months in future, if we don't take some day more now. As I said, we are a pretty capable group of people. With the clerical, druidical and arcane magic that we can muster, and with the combat prowess we have, there should be no problems in solving this affair and then, with absolute ease and calm, go on and start executing our mission". (diplomacy check around +27, if needed (and iirc)

"I simply said the game is afoot, and the time table has been changed...as to when their graces will actually lauch is a guess but i would gather no more than one week"

Alton Kanri, Human Cloistered Cleric/Battle Sorcerer of the Light
Alton starts to stand up and leave, but stays seated as Ederin makes his plea for more direct action. Alton finally comments, "As we will be in and out of the markets all day, we may find that the battle comes to us. As my curiosity will no doubt get the better of me, I will be around if the attacks are near me."
"I am off to find some supplies." Turning to Conrad and Pandak, "You two stay out of trouble if you can. With the hounds about, today may be a good day for a taller disguise." Alton winks at the dwarves.

Conrad lifts his tankard and just laughs at Alton's comments.
"The 'hounds' as it were will shatter their teeth on the likes of me if they try to bite at me. Their predjudices not withstanding, I have patents of my own beyond what our hosts have provided that proclaim me on the side of their Light.
"I like Ederin's suggestion of tracking down and removing this threat before we find we have recruited some of it into our endeavors.
"As for provisions for our journey, worry only about what the workers and livestock will need. I can handle what we ourselves will need, and it won't be any bland conjurings of divine mana. We will feast like heroes to keep our strength up to oversee our project.
"Now, where shall we begin to track this threat down?"

Right now I am ill-prepared for an investigation. I have some tricks, but I am no good in going around asking for information. for the rest of the day, if we manage to find someone that may know something, I can talk him into telling us everything, or coerce him if everything fails. Next moring, I will be able to cast divinations, ask for the wisdom of the Light, then scry and so on. Meanwhile, I will go check if there were some plants or animals near the place where we get ambushed."
He moves his hands and touches the others in the group. "With this spell, we shall be able speak with each other no matter the distance for 24 hours".
If the others agree, Ederin will transform into a bird, then will check if there were some plants near the abush, or other caged animals. He will then cast "speak with animals" or "speak with plants" to see wether they know something useful (maybe they overheard what the ambushers were telling right before the attack...maybe)
