Silvash says, "Let's get our rooms and then see what we can buy. I know I wouldn't mind learning some new spells, invisibility in particular. I'm ok on gear for now, though some wands might be nice too, magic missile, maybe. Where do we head for those kind of things?"
Smiling at Silvash, "Rooms are a good idea." He gestures towards the large fireplace, winking at Amelia, "Or we could just rent a pallet and sleep by the fire."
Turning back to Silvash, "Outside are two fairly new buildings." "Brooke Fire Mage can make wizardly type stuff, and Sister Sheila can make religious stuff. I don't know if they have anything made that's for sale. They didn't have much available the last time we were here, maybe they have been busy making new stuff to sell."
Turning to Thoron Elathras shrugs, "there is one full share for common stuff, I would recommend wands for healing."
turning back toward Amelia, "Hey Amelia could you rent us a room or two? Also supper tonight and breakfast in the morning?"
Looking back to the group, "Shall we go find Brooke and Shelia?"

"Wands of lesser healing are the most efficient but are an out of combat asset."
Then turning to the proprietor Cuthalian says, "It is a pleasure to see a piece of civilization after what we have been through. I will gladly get a room. Do you have baths as well?" Cuthalian asks as he proffers the initial gold piece.
"I'll join you in speaking with them both. I hope to get a greater enchantment on my armor. Once that is started I intend to soak in a bath if I'm able." Cuthalian says following Elathras.

Not having been here before, Alana will visit the three sisters to inquire about their spell availability (for possible copying) and peruse any items they may have, even if not much. She would be very interested in any rods of metamagic, starting with selective. Otherwise useful bobbs and bobbits. She will also surreptitiously inquire about getting an object removed from a lock box without damaging the lock (if they do not have access to knock or will not let her copy it).
As she enters their shop, "Well met!" and offers her hand in the friendly greeting.
They have a bath that they can set up in your room. There are actually three of them Brooke, the fire mage, Sister Sheila, cleric and Lady Shakira Suna, duelist that have set up shop here to prey on accommodate adventurers. You can meet with them in the morning. Get a list together and they will see what they can make and how long it will take.
Civilization? This is Zelkor's Ferry a small outpost in the middle of nowhere, pop 27.
'A bath? Are we celebrating the new year already?' Giving Cuthalian a peculiar look, Elathras shrugs as he sits down at a table smiling at Amelia, "Well, lets eat dinner and have a drink then head to bed. Amelia, can I order a plate of whatever they still have hot in the kitchen and a pint of ale? Then I'll be heading to bed."
Once they are sitting and eating, Elathras tells the others, "I'm going to ask Brooke if she can make one of those belts that make you stronger. I'll pay her tomorrow and pick it up when we come back from the grave yard the next time." He looks towards the others as he takes another bite. "Are we going to wait for them to make somethings for us? I might want to ride to the fort if we are."

Cuthalian partakes of the bath, eats a bite after he is finished and then retires to his room. There he studies some of the scriptures, prays for guidance, and turns in.
On the following day, Cuthalian discusses with the ladies the possibility of getting his armor enchantment improved (+1 to +2). He also seeks to get his wand of cure light wounds recharged (current 39 charges) and is interested to know what potions they currently have available.
An old man starts out of his snooze and looks up at the girl, then squints at you. He uses his arms to straighten himself in his seat and squirms back and forth a little bit to get more comfortable. When you step closer, you see a pair of crutches lying next to him and note that he has a peg on his right leg. At a second glance, though, you realize that his other leg isn’t folded underneath him; it’s missing completely, cut off at mid-thigh. A small lute lies along the left side of his chair, and one of the pottery mugs stands close by on his right, placed on the broad hearth surrounding the fireplace. Ysbel, get that small keg from under the bar for the poor dwarf and get him some ale."
The girl takes out a keg covered in dust and pours some amber goodness into a mug. "That will be 1 gp sir dwarf."
"Not many that want Dwarven ale"
Silvash smiles as Thoron get something that he likes to drink. "Hopefully you get enough business to keep things going here and prosper. It's not a large town but it is good to see a friendly face."
"We get a steady business. There is a young acolyte staying here also. Quite a few go out from here. Not many come back though."
You all sleep and see the ladies in the morning. I need your lists please.

In the morning Cuthalian inquires about having his armor's enchantment improved (+1 to +2, 3000 market). He will also look for and ask about the time required to make a belt of strength (+2, 4000 market). Hopefully we have someone who can talk them down a little less anyway otherwise Cuthalian will opt for the belt of Strength for now.
Seeing the ladies again, Elathras smiles, "Hi girls! the magic bag you made for us worked great!" as he pulls the bag out of his pack he dumps the contents of cold and silver coins all over the ground "See!"
He then scratches his head, and gestures towards the others, "Of course you know Mitleid, These others are my friends we met at the grave, That's Thoron and she's Alana and this is Cuthalian and Silvash. I know they want to place some orders." He points towards the coins on the ground, "Almost 6,000 gold pieces of this is mine, would 5,500 of it be enough to order a belt that would make me stronger? I can pick it up the next time we come to town."
As noted above a +2 belt is 4000 GP. Two of them will take 8 days to make.
Hearing the price on the fancy belt Elathras smiles "4,000 gp? That's great could you also make two wands for cureing?."
Looking to Thoron then Alana, "Hey Thoron and Alana you mentioned wands and potions using the group money. I don't understand most of what you said. Does one of you want to tell them how much of what?"
Turning to the others, "It looks like Cuthalian and I are getting matching belts. Is anyone else getting matching belts Or anything else?"
Silvash asks, "What scrolls of first and second level spells do you have? I'm looking to add to my spell-book, especially invisibility. I would also be interested in a belt to improve dexterity."
Brvheart what's the chance of upgrading armor and getting a +3 on my chain mail? and the cost before I do it.
To go from +1 to +3 is 8000 GP and 8 days additional.
Silvash asks, "What scrolls of first and second level spells do you have? I'm looking to add to my spell-book, especially invisibility. I would also be interested in a belt to improve dexterity."
She keeps no scrolls in stock, but can scribe anything on her spell list.
Sorry, they do not have any alchemy items.

Alana is also looking to expand her repertoire with useful spells the ladies may have to share*
*share meaning I pay to scribe out of their spellbook, of course (can we get a list to select from in discussion thread?).
"In addition, I would like to commission the creation of a lesser metamagic rod of selective. Is that within your capability?" asked in a nonjudgemental tone and fashion.
If I have enough left over after selecting spells and getting the rod started, I can increase my buckler to +2, but it will be tight even if the money is there.
AS the others add items that they would like to have crafted, Elatras gives up counting the days on his fingers, he finally asks, "So we should have time to take the money to the fort to keep the construction going?"
Looking from Thoron to Mitleid, Elathras scratching his head, "didn't you tell them Mitleid?" He looks back at Thoron, pointing the general direction of the fort. "We found an old fort about a days travel that direction. It was occupied by goblins and gnolls and some other stuff. We killed all the bad stuff and claimed the fort. That's what the eighth part is for. It will give us someplace to rest and prepare." He shrugs, "We have fixed the gate and barn, we still need to fix the tower."
Seeing how pleased Alana and Thoron are Elathras smiles, he motions to the stables, "We have three ponies if anyone wants to ride." Turning back to the magical ladies, he asks, "Well ladies, is there another information we can give you? Do you know how many days to make everything?"
Silvash stops and thinks for a moment, "I would like scrolls of invisibility, acid arrow, blur, and snowball (the evocation version) and a belt of incredible dexterity."
He then turns to the group, "It looks like we are going to be around a few days for these items. We might as well go to this fort and see what we can do to clean it up and fortify it."
So far for the list:
Cuthalianbut
upgrade armor to +2 3000 GP
belt of +2 strength 4000 GP
Alana
rod of lessor extend 3000 GP
upgrade buckler 3000 GP
Elathras
belt of +2 strength 4000 GP
2 wand of CLW 1500 GP
Silvash
She does not have snowball as she is a fire mage but the other
three are 150 GP each
Belt of +2 dex 4000 GP
I still need a list from Thoron and Mitleid
Sorry, make that a selective rod.
Scratching his head, Elathras asks the ladies, "We ran into some undead thing that turned out all the lights, even the magical ones. Do you have something we could toss in the room that would just, you know, kill all of them? I left a hammer there that I would really like to get back."
sorry guys been a bit under the weather.
Brvheart I have +2 chain to go to +3 is still 8000 GP? That would be about all I can see that would help me and the party that we can afford.
From +2 to +3 is 5000
'Try Daylight' scratching his head, Elathras thinks for a moment, "I have a shovel but this place is deep and it's under a mausoleum. So I don't think I could dig a big enough hole for enough daylight to shine in to help."
Silvash snickers and then nudges Elathras, "She means the spell my friend. Not one I could normally cast but a scroll or two might be helpful."
