"Such a quest is timely, don't you think Pinpehlu? Our finances were going low. We shall not have to sell my sword finally. But I might need the armor this time, my friend. Do you still have it?"
OOC: 50 Rupees = 10 gold correct. There are no crossbows or slings for sale here. You could buy a brace of throwing knives - 15 sp, 1 point of encumbrance for three.
If the GM is to make a suggestion, a little bit of armor or shield for the unprotected members of the party could do well. Shields provide the same protection as light armor, but take a hand to use.
So to save time in the future, I'm going to ask everyone to roll awareness now - keep roleplaying etc, but when I need it we won't have to waste a day or two while people roll
Awareness check: Roll equal or under with 2d6 on your Skill + Awareness skill (if any).
Rolling tool for newcomers: There is a built-in rolling tool but the forum changed very recently and I'm not sure how it works. I use Coyote Code: CoyoteCode Dice Roller v. 2.0
I understand the suggestion about armor or shield for Pinpehlu, but the porter is too modest to claim any such thing. A shield is not really helpful since it takes a hand, one that he needs for his yoke, but armor may be a possibility.
"Hmm, you are right, my friend. That's why I don't like to see you without any padding. Take those and go find something suitable." said Subotai, giving his purse to Pinpehlu.
"I cannot accept such a gift," he says slowly, uncertainly, while his eyes do not leave the purse in his hands.
Then his gaze shots up, towards Subotai, and he smiles broadly, eyes lighting up.
"But I will try, nevertheless!"
Then the porter quickly moves towards one of the shops.
OOC:
Pinpehlu will try and haggle to get the best price on the ruffian Light armor (rhino leather vest) of 4 gp, but I assume it will cost 4 gp. Do I understand correctly that is the 20 rupees of Subotai and Pinpehlu combined?
Also, just a heads up that on weekends I'm usually AFK, so my next post will probably be Monday at the earliest.
