The Retrievers - Chapter 2

[Elocin]

Chapter 1 - The Whistling Stag

As the night continues on you see more people come into the tavern to drink their worries away. The Bard does a number of sets and she tends to focus on what has been happening in Evereska and the dealings with the Phaerium and the Sharn both of which are on the minds of everyone in the room. Thankfully both of these situations seem to have worked them out and the dust have settled for now. You can see that as everyone is having a good time and enjoying each others company but you get the sense that everyone is also on edge and are just waiting for something to happen. Whenever the front door is opened everything stops and everyone looks to see who/what is coming through the door. Everyone is drinking but no one is drinking to excess and you can see that everyone has some kind of weapon on them, be it dagger, sword or mace and they all seem to be made out of silver. The only ones who seem to be drinking heavily is the group of dwarves who are leaving town tomorrow almost as if they are celebrating leaving town.

You would imagine that this tavern normally has twice the number of people in it but as of late most people are just staying in the safety of their homes.

"Yeah, because we all know that the reason I don't blow my money on ale and whores is so I can spend it to equip the rest of you. Okay, anything that Sten and I spend we get to recoup first from any incidental treasures we might find along the way and we get first pick of any extra interesting items."
"And remind me in future to get a budget off of the boss man so we don't need to keep doing this, wait here."

He returns with a wax tablet and a small abacus and begins jotting down figures.

"Feed - 7 horses - 1 week - assume a silver each because it's the middle of winter 5GP"
"Firewood - bulky as anything, get a little bit for kindling and emergancies - anything else is a burden on the horses"
"Rations - 6 people, 1 week - 15 gp, maybe slightly more as it's winter, but that stuff keeps."
"Tents, blanket and bedroll - see what we can get, tents are bloody expensive and heavy- mark off 70 gp for that, if we can get it, or need it."
"Remind me what people brought with them?"


OOC:
Asking Elocin, what, if any supplies and provisioning Pemberton got out of the boss in posts 25 and 29 and whether they have a pack pony or not

 

[Wilphe]

Pemberton will turn in early, "Early start tomorrow, we've got shopping to do and a long way to go before nightfall"

Before going to bed he ascertains the whereabouts of any local temples, alchemists and general stores.

Brenden sighs theatrically and passes Pemberton two platinum pieces. "That should more than cover my end of things as far as the caring of horses and buying of tents goes. I question the need for military saddles though... do you plan to do much fighting from the back of your horse? I, for one, am not planning on fighting at all... well, except for some undead when we get to the monestary. How long do you think it will take us to get there? Two days? Three?" He muses for a bit.

"I suppose I should shop for an oilcloth for my spellbook... don't want it getting wet, do I? And maybe some heavy robes... or just furs that I can wear under my robes..."

OOC: Unless anything eventful happens, Brenden lounges around the common room listening to interesting hunting stories and questioning the talkers about the lycanthropes. He discounts most of what hears as superstition and exageration but listens none-the-less.

Spells swapped out for morning's travel (summon monster spells replaced w/ Endure Elements & Sleep)

Mindal Human Scout

"We'll be glad of a tent if it warms up enough to rain. If it stays cold we can build some shelter from snow. I for one think we'll benefit most from a good night's sleep in a warm bed and hearty breakfast. I will do a little scouting and find out where the businesses we need are and then call it a night." Mindal gets the attention of the barmaid and tries to find out the location of vendors that can supply the goods on our list. He will make a quick exploration outside to make sure he can find them. Finally he tries to predict tomorrow's weather.

OOC: Survival check to Predict Weather (1d20+4=13).

 

[Elocin]

(ooc: you guys do have a pony with you and as for basic supplies he supplied you with a weeks worth of rations each and food for the horse's to last a weeks time. You were also able to snag one tent and some cold weather outfits for all of you as he was sending you up to the Spine of The World. That is about all you got from the master's supplies before he sent you on your way. You were unable to get any kind of military saddle.)

Mindal you are petty sure that tomorrow is going to be a bright and sunny day.

Pemberton you have asked around and found out the locations of the nearest (and hopefully honest and best) general store and you previously were told about the best blacksmith in the area.

(ooc: depending on my time this weekend I will try and get together a map of the town for you guys if you want one.)

Mindal Human Scout

Mindal will go to bed after arranging with the staff of the Whisling Stag to awaken him early.

OOC: No need for a map, as long as our characters can find what we need.

Durnn, Earth Genasi Fighter 1

"Okay, anything that Sten and I spend we get to recoup first from any incidental treasures we might find along the way and we get first pick of any extra interesting items."

"Sounds good" Durnn chimes in. "Hey, I'm here for the muscle. If we're in desparate need of funds, we can sell one of these swanky gloves I got from the boss."

"Remind me what people brought with them?"

"I got a bedroll, a waterskin, and, well, not a whole lot of anything else. Tell ya what..." he begins fishing into his belt pouch. "Here, take this..." Durnn says as he gives Pemberton the rest of his gold (9 gp). "If I need money, I'm use to fending for myself."

Talking to Pemberton: "In the meantime, I know better than to waste money on wine and women if we need it elsewhere. I'm going to turn in, in case you need me to do some heavy lifting in the morning when getting supplies."

 

[Erekose13]

"We mustn't forget the silver weapons. I do not want to face lycanthropes if we can avoid it, but it is best to be prepared especially given the rumors we have heard regarding this area." Sten says to Pemberton as he tabulates expences.

 

[Wilphe]

"Food we have; we might need some more waterskins also; that and a small ammount of firewood, some thicker blankets and some silvered weapons should complete our inventory. We can get those tomorrow morning before we head out, good night gentlemen"
