Eberron: Shadows of the Last War (Inactive)

Game Master EltonJ

The stoic warforged waited silently as the others haggle over the details. He now had his own mystery, mission and reasons for going. A petty thing such as money would not slow his way now.

"I agree, we will need resources if we're going to be down belowground for a while. Torches, lanterns, rope, climbing gear, food and water at the least. As for a mule or other beast of burden, I guess its a good idea? I mean, at the least we can eat it if we get really stuck."

"I already guaranteed the money for this expedition," {Lady Eladrin says. "I'll have a letter of credit for you tomorrow. You can use the letter of credit to purchase what you need."

I think three or four mules, bed rolls for all, coats for all, four flasks of water each except maybe Not2Be, a weeks worth of food, sledge hammer, pick, 1000' of rope, 2x grappling hooks, 5 climber's kits (that is one each right?), 2 ioun torches (keep hands free), 50 regular torches (useable as weapons, extra light or firewood as needed), fire wood (50#s perhaps), cooking kit, a blanket for each. What do you guys think?

"Well, all, it sounds like we put together our shopping list, enjoy the evening and then tomorrow when we get the letter of credit we go pick things up. I've started a list here," Alexio shows the piece of paper on which he has jotted down his ideas (previous ooc list). "If anyone wants to add anything that would be grand. Anyone else good with animals or do I win mule duty by default?"

You could ask Lady Eladrin more questions.

"Did this Bonal fellow provide any maps?" Alexio asks considering other important items they may need.

"Also, this is a Cannith spot we're going into, yes? Do we need some kind of key or password or something to get in? Do we expect all kinds of weird mechanical and magical traps and such?"

Lady Eladrin produces a map of Dorasharn on the journal's pages simply by writing. She lets you all see it.

"There is a trap on a door leading to Dorasharn," she says. "It's an acid trap, and that's all I know about it."

Thinking it unlikely they will get to take the journal with them, Alexio decides to take a few minutes to copy the map.

"The journal is the key," Lady Eladrin says.

”Does that mean we will be taking it with us?”

"Yes," Lady Eladrin said. She hands over the journal.

"Thank you, ma'am. We appreciate your confidence." Alexio says as she hands over the journal. Pending other questions, I think we can assume a good evening of feasting and drink. The following day would be spent shopping for our equipment, and then off to the underground.

Thoughts?

"If there is nothing else, I suggest we make haste. We are not the only ones seeking this legacy."

"Agreed. We should go as soon as possible."

Concurring with little more than a nod and a thoughtful look, Mira signaled to a server that had been avoiding their table due to the presence of the Lady. She at least does wait until Alexio seems bored with the journal before she takes it and starts paging through it.

Once the Lady departs, she does voice a thought, glancing up from the journal: "Think we'll be followed?"

Something light was ordered, and judging by the set of her shoulders, she did intend to read the whole thing before their departure.

"Perhaps," Alexio says as he hands over the journal. "It would have been nice if we could have gotten that writ of credit quicker but I guess it is a bit late now, probably no one to buy stuff from now anyway. So, purchase tomorrow and leave the following morning? Or, purchase in the morning and head out in the afternoon? Since we are going underground the time of day won't matter much."

So we buy our stuff and head out right? We have a foundry to loot.

Right. You buy your stuff and head out.

(Keep waiting for others to speak, rolecall see who is still with us.)

Yeah, I'm wondering if that.

If you still want to play, give me a roll call.
