"Looked like ogres and something else to me..." Tommy said simply.

In reply to Syvanus (msg # 49):

"Merchants. Ok I am team troll for sure, I  just need to find out what kind of player Brodakin is- I don't want to work for someone who maltreats their workers."

"I've taken a few trips down below with Rush.", Grohm replied and took another drink.


"He's always been fair with me.  Doesn't ask us to do anything too dangerous.  Pays my wages as agreed and in coin at the end of the trip.  Lets us buy in at the beginning of the trip for trade goods.  We take the same profit or loss as Rush does. Probably the best that I've worked for in the last couple of years." , he added.

"All I can add to what I've already said is that after working one job under him, I won't hesitate to work another."

Dne sits by himself and handles his staff, making little zapping noises as he plans glorious castings.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 55):

the Vejovian nods.
" That doesn't sound like any ranking merchant I have heard of... by his name I take him to be an Orc. I think they face discrimination in that guild. Alright, I am in."

Welcome then.

"So our party consists of myself, Syvanus, Grohm'Tal, Virgilio, Dne, Jendrich, Tommy and their er, friend over there, we haven't been introduced, and Ulo the trollwife? Am I missing anyone?"

In reply to Alice Abernathy (msg # 58):

"Aww, me? Nobody usually notices me. I am Brunhilda..."

In reply to Brunhilda (msg # 59):

Alice looks up at the ogrekin woman.
"Are you also a warrior?"

In reply to Alice Abernathy (msg # 60):

"No, Ma'am. I just carry stuff. And cuddle pussy cats."

Dne looks about nervously at the mention of cats.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 62):

"Meoow..."

In reply to Brunhilda (msg # 61):

"Ah a good member of the proletariat.  This gets better, and I see the affection there as genuine.
Do we have rope and light sources?"

Virgilio points to his own staff, with its tip as bright as a torch.

"I can make all the light sources we could possibly want, and as bright as we like.  I don't presently have any rope, but it's a sensible thing to carry and I've just learned the magic to lighten possessions so they don't slow me down as much.  I'll go buy some as soon as we're done here.  What, a hundred feet?  Even magically lightened, I don't know that I'd want to carry a longer coil."

"There are enough of us to carry a couple of ropes.  I have a short one but another may be useful.  A thicker one that what I have.  A couple of us are pretty heavy.", Grohm added.

"How about I get a couple coils of a thirty or forty yards, then?  Or would three be better?"

Two should be good. Mine makes three but it would be a bit short.   At least one coil of heavy rope though.  Maybe some spikes to secure them if we need to.  Everybody throw in some coin to help out. , Grohm replied.  Then he dug a handful of silver ($30) out of his purse and placed it on the table in front of Vigilio.

OOC:  Heavy rope = 3/4"

Grohm is way over the 300 lb limit for 3/8" rope when geared up.  I'm not sure about Brunhilda but I suspect that she is pushing the limit too.  We could double up on 3/8" rope to save a bit of cash and weight I suppose.

He adds another $30 to the pile.

So does Dne, because that's the kind of bird he was born to be.

Jendrich adds his own $30 coins on the table. "I could carry... maybe forty yards of rope? Any more than that, and I'd have trouble keeping up."

In reply to Jendrich (msg # 71):

 Alice slides over a pile of copper coins.

"We should get aome glow vials and other non magical light. We got hit with dispell magic when dealing with those gatekeeping bastards from the Mageguild and it wiped a bunch of things."

Virgilio begins gathering up the coinage on the table.  "I'll kick in as well, I think we can probably get a couple coils of heavy rope and several of the common stuff for this.

"Non-magical lights are good -- torches are heavy, and candles blow out so easily.  I'll see if I can't find a good deal on some tin lanterns to protect candles, unless someone really prefers oil lanterns.  Candles won't soak you in oil if you get hit in the wrong spot.

"Who sells glow vials around here?  We never used them at the Academy, everyone learned light spells early on unless they had a block on that college."

"Let's get some rations, too.  Somebody in town must sell fresh worms."

In reply to Virgilio Hohlfeld (msg # 73):

"I have a little cash too. How much is needed?"
