[b]"Well if we are all going gathering tomorrow I'm sure whatever it is can wait till we are out in the cave systems. I need to help the apprentices clean anyways."[b]
Lershoth arrives wearing his wide-brimmed hat, along with his cloak and to the meeting.

Rose walks in. Come sit down. I called you here because you're all major players in one way or another. You're all major contributors to our overall survival with semi unique skill sets. As things stand, simply stopping to check in with how things are going in your various areas is killing my day making sure I do nothing else productive when I could be contributing. So I'm having us gather, to discuss our progress towards our shared goals. And I would like to make it semi regular.
[spoiler=Tag and Tal] Sersass, gets up using her long sword as a cane. Then says, "I noticssse you have many ratsss. If you are gathering food." She looks toward the small cave opening. "There isss plenty in there."
"Certainly a solid beginning for our current predicament. How often would you require these updates?"
"I think this sounds to be a good idea, more heads are always better. For that matter, the Alchemy students are doing fine, 3 days on the job . They were very close today to figuring out a way to take your base recipe and make the modifications I added in work together. Their approach is a little unorthodox but I think if they continue on their current path they will figure it out. From there they should be able to at least begin the basics of preparing the plant food recipe's.
I have them taking the day off, to give them a bit of a break as they've been working hard and I don't want to overload them. Burnt out minds are not worth anything.
I'm willing to bet they will have it figured out shortly when they resume tomorrow. Hopefully they will have the procedure down by the end of the day and, like I said, begin working"
Polmar yawns and smiles at Rose.
" I have not really accomplished much yet, but I have a notion to go out and gather good medical herbs and roots, partially for use as medicine and partly to hand off to Lershoth's Gardener corps so we can get a steady supply of healing materiel developed."
Polmar also looks wistfully at the door. "You know my goal is to retake the surface as quickly as possible, but I know that's not possible if we can't survive under here...I can make clothing but sooner or later we'll need materials for that to be possible. That may require some big game hunting down the line, so if we get any leads on that for Tal and the others you should let us know."
Polmar thinks on what Jalel said and responds " I think weekly status reports and a report anytime someone returns from an expedition should be standard so we don't have any real gaps in what we know of each other's work"
"Benny agrees, meeting once a week would be fine for delivering news on our progress. My guards have been doing well in their training, with Rodrick performing well enough to have earned a captains position. We're going to be moving on guard routes today after they've had a chance to practice."
Tagolan nods at the Yuan-ti and move into the cave it pointed at looking for food.
Nodding his head as a sign of respect Miro introduces himself to Rose and then the others.
Miro Goldenview at your service ma’am! I’m offering my services to you hoping to play larger part in helping our people and getting us above ground again.
Looking to the others he smiles. Nice to meet you all!
As a cleric of Shelyn I can heal the wounded but my bed manners aren’t that good. Through music and song I can inspire people. A smooth talker and a perceptive listener. Knowledgeable about a lot of different topics.
Through my magic I can create fresh water and make minor repairs to all kinds of items.
Polmar puffs his chest
"Well, I am Polmar Finn, I am a tailor, and devoted servant of Nuada Silverhand. I can assist with healing and fighting"
A little ways beyond them you see large barrels and when you look inside these barrels you see they are full of dried fruits. In this room there is 5 FP worth of food.
It is now early afternoon.
Sonofa! Let's go get him. And when I get back I want to know how he got away from an armed guard. Rose gets up and starts to walk towards the tunnel.
Jalel gave a closer examination of the two newcomers.
I could certainly see myself getting along with Polmar. But this Miro, there's something about him... even just looking at him gets my blood boiling.
At Rose's question, Jalel came out of his personal reverie and looked at her.
"Things continue apace for the moment. I have my students performing more basic planting skills and marking each time they do so. It is not a terribly demanding task initially and will allow them to return to their regular tasks for a time. As for Zack, he has not caused any trouble I am aware of. There is little else I can think to bring to the table at the moment."
Sersass, do you mind if we use this food, there are others...friends who we are helping with the food we carry now to feed and this would be a great boon for us and them?
You would certainly be more welcome with this news.
Assuming she says yes, Tagolan, we should go back to the others...arrange a small group to come back here for the barrels right away. This food would be very helpful but whatever killed the Yuanti, we would have to be stealthy and get in and out. Whatever did this...I don't think I want to meet it.
Talirin nods to Tag and motions for the yuan ti to follow them. They move back to their camp.
Polmar nods at Jalel's comments. To a certain extent Polmar was just placating these people. There wasn't a sense of urgency to anything getting done and well, the main goal should ultimately be able to fight their way back to the surface anyway shouldn't it? Ultimately, Polmar wanted to survey and the herb gathering offered a great excuse to do so while being otherwise productive.
"Well, if we're done talking then we should get going. It seems like the sun is moving pretty quickly across the sky non-existent sky these days. "
Polmar straps on his pack and waits for the others who are coming outside.
Jalel gave a closer examination of the two newcomers.
But this Miro, there's something about him... even just looking at him gets my blood boiling.
What are you folks doing with the rest of your day?
Lershoth will be going with Polmer and Jalel for resource gathering for the day. He gathers his belonging (wapons and such) and prepares a few extracts
Approaching Polmer, I've got everything I need. Just need for Jalel to get here.. Lershoth's tail swishes impatiently.
Polmar nods appreciatively "Feels good to be doing something useful and to travel. Being down here has me feeling stir-crazy"
"Just make sure that doesn't become a problem for the rest of us, Polmar. Fifteen years is a long time to go stir-crazy."
Miro checks to see if anyone needs some medical attention and after that gets ready to enter the northeastern cave/tunnel.
The research, supply team heads out (Polmar, Jalel and Lershoth)
Rose, manages to find a small pocket of worms and a few dead rats, and the outhouses along with a guy who needs to take a dump. Bad!
Miro, makes his rounds then after seeing that no one is in need of medical attention. He prepares to enter the Northeast tunnel.
