"I have more then enough to play for a night at the Inn for everyone if necessary, if we are to continue doing this having the wands could prove invaluable."
I will look around at the other shops, nothing particular in mind just wondering what is about. i.e. Alchemical items and such.

As I am browsing the shops I buy a single holy symbol from every accepted deity and hang them all on a cord before placing them into my pack, I also purchase a spell book and upgrade my 'thieves tools' to a masterwork set at a locksmiths, convincing him that I am a traveling locksmith to do so. If you could be so kind as to tell me how many deities are 'accepted' here, or if I managed to find a symbol for all of them that would be appreciated.
After looking through the shops available I return to the inn we are staying at for the night. Meeting up with the others I say "I was thinking. Standing and fighting every time we get attacked by wolves or some such seems silly to me. I think that we should get a stock of caltrops, alchemists fire, tanglefoot bags and the like to store in the carriage so that if we are attacked again we will have a way to either damage the enemy as they are chasing us or simply stop them from chasing us so we can continue on our way unmolested. Also we should get a couple of Hooded lanterns to hang off the front corners so that if we need to travel at night again we can have light without needing to carry torches or something in the front seat. We should also get some basic supplies like rope and what not to store in the carriage for if we ever need to pull it out of a gully or something."

Shorga listens intently to Icaras' proposal, "All of that shounds extremely shensible. Do we have the fundsh to provishion ourshelvesh as you shuggesht?"

"Perhaps if we pool our own money, which I have no problem doing, I have a little over 200 gold. Seeing ourselves properly outfitted will see us survive, and I for one would like to survive long enough to spend the profit that we earn."

Everybody still with us? I will try to get us rolling, although things will be slow until and possibly after Superstar Top 4 is announced. If you don't mind if I play fast and loose with the world map a little bit that should help me out.
Pooling your money, you are able to find the items on Icarus' shopping list.
Just make a list of what you are buying.

Shorga opts to stay with the carriage, as a former guardsman, it's sort of a reflex.
Is Icarus still with us?

OK, the horses are stabled up for the night. The carriage is parked around back near the woods, and Shorga is resting inside with the cargo. He hears a thump-thump-thump from a wooden crate. He opens his eyes to see it rocking slightly. It is not quite two feet on each side, and he remembers it being about 15 pounds.
Shorga Brull |
Standing up quickly and concernedly, Shorga stares a the crate for a moment, making sure he's seeing things correctly. Quickly he moves over to the crate, sets his weapon down next to it and pushes down hard with both hands, leaning into it. "What in the hells...?" Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Shorga, still holding it down, decides to communicate, "Hello? What ish that in there?" He looks around nervously, waiting for his friend to return to help him deal with... whatever this is.
Shorga Brull |
Not getting a response the Cavalier shakes the box a few inches from side to side, "Hey, if you don't anshwer me then I'm going to asshume you're not shmart and posshibly in need of killing. Hello!?"

Shorga turns, happy that someone else is awake to help him deal with... a box. "Thish box wash moving and jumpin around! I thought we'd trapped shomething inshide or shomeshuch nonshenshe."

Shorga takes a steadying breath, and ensures his falchion is handy, then starts to open the box. Str check? Str: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Shorga, after peering inside, quickly replaces the lid and grabs his falchion, tapping the nails back down into place. He turns to Kalum (who I think is awake now) "A... shtuffed beaver. I shwear it wash jusht trying to get out a few momentsh ago!"
Shorga Brull |
Shorga looks quickly over at the smaller man, "Guy? Shpell? Where!? Let'sh after him!" The crate forgotten, Shorga stands and marches a few feet towards the woods and glares outward.

Shorga hesitates, not certain whether to give chase. No doubt Ursa would be up for it, but while he could see in the dark, his trusty mount could not. "I don't shupposhe anyone hash a shpell which would let Ursha shee in the dark?"
Shorga Brull |
Shorga turns to regard Kalum, eyebrows raised, "A prank? I fail to shee the humor." he says in his deep voice. But after a moment he shrugs, "Yesh, letsh do that." Shorga begins moving around the camp, checking bags and supplies, looking for anything amiss.
Perception (missing stuff): 1d20 ⇒ 10

Shorga shrugs, "If you shee the little weashel again, pleashe alert me and I'll try to give chashe." With that he settles in to finish his watch, knowing it'll be a long day on the road the next day.
Yup move us along please! :)

The next morning you see no further sign of intruders and everything seems to be in place. Icarus has the reins with Kalum beside him.
Perception: Shorga 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7
Perception: Icarus 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Perception: Kalum 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
You take your leave and travel for a couple of hours as the road leads into the forest where your destination is. The witch's map gives instructions to find the treehouse home of the druid Lissendra.
Icarus is at the reins with Kalum beside him. Rena is in the wagon. Kalum's sharp eyes notice a raven coming in your direction. Some of it's feathers are loose and it is evading pursuit by a hawk. The raven appears to be carrying a small stick-shaped object.

Shorga, riding ahead of the wagon by a dozen paces, watches the approach and delivery of the raven before it flees for safety. Frowning, he looks back at the others in the wagon, "What'sh it dropped? It'sh dinner?" He snorts to himself at his little joke, and you're pretty sure Ursa rolls her equine eyes at her rider... but it's hard to say with horses.
