The group reconvenes in the common room of the Boar and Pig early the next morning. Oldin and Jiam have returned from their errand and the party sits down to a light breakfast. The rest of you recap for Oldin your preliminary discussions. Esias again unrolls the map, on which he has traced your proposed route (at Aeless’ suggestion last night). He also presents a preliminary list of supplies. You note from the list that it accounts for supplies for one more party member than was present last night. It is at this time you note that Oldin is accompanied by a stout halfling man of indeterminate age. He sits quietly, barely picking at the inn’s food.
Esias’ current supply list:
- 8 light horses (one each, less Esias, Rúadhnait, and Brand, plus one to serve as a pack animal)
2 ponies (for the lad and the halfling)
26 days rations x 11, plus 13 for the lad’s return
11 tents (to be adjusted for those of you that have them and assuming the lad will double up on his return to keep him safe)
12 bedrolls (again to be adjusted)
10 waterskins (one to be carried on each animal, assuming most already have their own, should make sufficient storage for water)
12 pairs cold weather clothing
2 quivers arrows (Leenah’s request)
2 quivers bolts (Jermain’s request)
Daggers (number to be determined)
Rope and grappling hooks (number to be determined)
Between now and Friday’s validation, please use this thread to suggest adjustments to this list (in character) and discuss strategy in general. We will not roleplay Aeless and Brand selecting the horses or Esias and whoever assists collecting supplies, and the next validation will begin your journey. Things may move very quickly from that point on.
Any special requests for things individual characters would like to do prior to leaving Tak Shire can be handled via pm or email
