"zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..."

OOC: Bump :)

(ooc: LOL ok that made my day here at work a little brighter. I am somewhat stalling until we get another person to join and will probably take up your offer on your friend. As a matter of fact why don't you haave him/her come read this and see if he/she wants to join. Then just make a post in the OOC thread and place a character there for me to see as I want to keep this ball a rolling.)

The night passes without any incidents and you all wake the next morning ready to start your adventure. The aroma of the morning meal instantly makes your mouth water and you rush downstairs to get your orders in. The merchants will be opening up thier shops shortly so you have plenty of time for a good hearty meal and to get your things in order for the travel ahead of you.

Pemberton will wash, dress and go help Talon sort the horses out - especially checking that his horses hasn't suffered any lasting damage - he'll then go have a hurried breakfast and settle up. If anyone in the group isn't already down, dressed and having breakfast at this point then he will go knock them up.

"Rough plan: Durnn, Mindal and I will go shopping for what we need and make any final arrangements. Whilst we are doing that the spellcasters can do, whatever it is you need to do to get your spells ready. I've told Talon to assemble the houses outside, fully tacked up and ready to go in an hours time. Sound good?"
 

Brenden sleeps soundly, though he's in an unfamiliar place. He wakes up every few hours though as he's still brimming with spell energy.

In the morning he relieves himself in the privy, washes, and goes to get breakfast. While he eats he awaits the arrival of the others.
 

Mindal Human Scout

Mindal rises early as requested and is eager to start the new adventure. His gear is largely still packed and ready to go. He washes up and gets into his armor. The smell of breakfast urging him on. This may be our last good meal for a while. He makes his way down stairs and joins those already assembled. "Pemberton, you have the right of it. I good meal, a few purchases and we'll be ready to ride. I think the weather won't be too bad today." He orders a hearty breakfast and strong tea or coffee if they have it.
 

Sten is up before dawn as usual. Though the ground outside seems a lot colder than in Waterdeep, he still conducts his morning prayers. As he leaves the chosen spot drops of crimson red dot the packed snow. Inside he digs in to his morning meal as the others join him much earlier than normal. "I can join you in purchasing the equipment needed." he says to Pemberton.
 

Durnn, Earth Genasi Fighter 1

Durnn comes into the room stifling a large yawn. As Pemberton explains his plan, Durnn nuds his head in agreement. "Sounds good to me. Let's be off, then..."

OOC: Passed the word along, he should post today. And glad I could brighten your day.
 

OOC: Shopping requests:

Mindal - Arrows (maybe a short sword or dagger)

Pembertion - 20 Arrows (3gp)

That's it.

So, Pemberton and the shopping expedition will pick up:
100 silvered arrows (20gp)
4 silvered shortswords (80gp)
That's assuming that there isn't a markup because the whole town is besigeed by Were-things (100gp total)
General store:
16 thick winter blankets (8gp) - leaves some in reserve and some for the horses
3 more tents (60gp)
1 full days worth of Firewood (emergencies only) (68gp)
Alchemists if there is one:
5 sunrods 10gp
5 Tindertwigs 5gp
4 bottles of Holy Water (100gp) (115 total)

That's a total of 283gp in expenditure
 

Hoping that those purchases meet everyone's approval Pemberton will return to the Inn ready to depart. He and Talon will have arranged matters that everyone is carrying at least 2 days worth of fodder and food, a waterskin and two blankets on thier own backpack and saddlebags. He;ll also split the firewood up between everybody. The 2 tents will go on the least burdened horses.

The packhorse will carry the rest of the food and feed, two of the tents and the bulk of the alchemcial supplies.

Pemberton himself will take 20 arrows and silvered shortsword (leaves 80 and 3 swords for everyone else), tuck a sunrod and a tindertwig into his clothes and a bottle of Holy Water into his saddlebags.

Hopefully that should deal with the minutiae of the planning and preperation.
 

Mindal Human Scout

Mindal agrees with Pemberton's list and praises him for working it all out.

OOC: I think you made an error there. My Player's Handbook lists firewood for a day at one copper piece. Pemberton must be very cold natured to want to buy 68 gp worth!
