"Well let's do that then," agrees Jolinda who's getting fidgety.

In reply to Jolinda (msg # 625):

Aoife will pay $100 for the best map of the greater Northport area she or Mancini can find.

In reply to Aoife (msg # 626):

"I have a recent map here that shows the area you describe- it is a tower within a clearing..."

In reply to Kasmir Al Vasari (msg # 627):

"Does it also show Northport, and therefore the way there?"

In reply to Aoife (msg # 628):

"Of course it does, what do you take me for?  You asked for a map showing the features of the area including Northport and the forest."

Mancini takes a look at the map and asks what the going price for the map was.

(Ooc: 19:15, Today: Mancini rolled 16 using 3d6 ((6,5,5)). Merchant 16. Roll passes.)

In reply to Mancini (msg # 630):

The map is of average quality, and includes an obscure location that is recent - $100

"Would you take $100 for it?" Mancini says, reaching into his coin purse.

In reply to Mancini (msg # 632):

"Indeed.  Incidentally, I prefer your trade to that of your predecessor, Master Broderick Leibert."

Mancini inspects it one last time and then hands over $100 in various coins to the vendor.

"Why is that?"

(Ooc:13:02, Today: Mancini rolled 9 using 3d6 ((1,2,6)). Hidden Lore (Guild)- 14 Roll passes.)

Mancini remembers his predecessor....

"I've heard the name, don't recall a lot of details.  Didn't he vanish not long ago?"

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 637):

Broderick and his entire party except for one Survivor disappeared... apparently one member of the group betrayed them...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 638):

"Right. Well I never knew him, so I can't say much. Now we have the map, head out? I am looking forward to returning to nature!"

"Unless someone else needs to gather supplies or equipment, yes."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 640):

- Just give me an hour to prepare for the trip and I will be ready, - Suleiman said.

OOC: I will settle whatever Suleiman needs to buy with the GM privately. For the purpose of speeding things up let's assume that Suleiman is ready by the time you march out of the town.

Oly returns to the guild hall to gather his traveling gear.

Ardenas does the same.

"How far is this tower?  I don't own a tent."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 643):

by the map it looks to be about three days out

In reply to Narrator (msg # 644):

"Does anyone? I would suggest a Legionaries tent for $225. It will be cheaper for the group than individual tents, and lighter."

Need a szeeping roll for zure. common dend may be good doo.

In reply to Oly (msg # 646):

Sederic will purchase a Legionnaires tent (Legionnaires tent (6-8 pers), $225, 45 lbs, +1 Survival, leather) and a Gnomish Army Knife.

"Now, how will we transport our gear? We should probably get a pack animal, or wagon? I can contribute $150..."

In reply to Sederic (msg # 647):

"Hey, I want one of those army knives too.

I can contribute $650 for someone to carry my chest. Equines and Bovines are about the only creatures I do not handle, but perhaps I can learn?"

"Tent aside, I already have what I need in my backpack -- but I might pick up a knife, it's so useful as a tool even if you don't use it for fighting.

"I know what everyone does about handling a horse or burro, but I've almost no experience at it.  "
