OOC: After spending WAY too much time resolving Campaign1's shopping trip (or Odyssey should I say lol), here's the deal: Any mundane items from the Player's Handbook are available to you for purchase at Ruskor's Castle of Junk for Half of the listed market price. You may find Potions of Minor Healing (25Gp each), Flying, Giants Strength, Firebreath and waterbreathing (50Gp each) as well.
You may just spend the Gold, and make me a written list of everything your character decides to buy, and are then considered to just HAVE it.
Roscoe makes his way into the stables as he tries to find help.
OOC: Perhaps, since coach rental and horses are are listed in the PHB, we could sort of assume Ruskor has a shed out back with an old cart, team, and driver we could hire? I don't want to spend another two days wandering around looking for a ride.

The Stables are a separate building, but they are included in the new "Perk" unlocked. They work just like Ruskor's, but for traveling equipment/mounts/mount related gear
And again, the stables offer everything in the Player's Handbook at HALF the price listed (Knights of the Hanging Chicken discount!).
All you have to do is write a post saying "I make a quick trip to the Stables/Ruskor's, and buy....(whatever your character buys). Subtract the gold from your character sheet, and thats it! Your character will be considered to have the purchased objects with them.

(OOC: Ah, but Edeleth is still rotten stinking stony broke, so...)
At the end of his patience, Edeleth marches into Ruskor's shop. Approaching the dwarves who seem to be the proprietors, he withdraws an oilskin packet from his tunic, extracting from it a document with many seals on it, and presents it.
The document says, in Elvish and in Common:
Be it known that the bearer of this missive, Edeleth Aldalire called Treesong, appointed successor to the High Druid of the court of Lomalos, travels as servant to the royal court of Lomalos, at the Crown’s behest, and as such, is empowered to act on behalf of Lomalos as the Crown’s agent, representative, and ambassador. We request that he be afforded such courtesy and hospitality as would be offered to the Crown itself. We further adjure that such assistance and material aid be afforded as he requires to carry out his missive. The royal treasury of Lomalos may be applied to for recompense of any such services and outlay.
As an expression of our goodwill, we have sent our servant bearing living shoots of the exceedingly rare and highly intelligent Naranda tree, seeking suitable sites for the propagation thereof, in the hope that the gift of this magnificent tree to our good neighbors will strengthen and cement the bonds of friendship between our nations, and that the trees will ever stand as a symbol of our accord and solidarity.
Signed by Celairatar Lithelon, King of Lomalos
Undersigned by:
Talos Vithan, High Druid of Lomalos
Lethiel Vithan, Royal Treasurer
Naehice Aldalire, Minister of External Affairs
Valvyre Simul, High Elder
Theilelan Simul, Elder Warden

"The town of Oak Ridge is under attack, and its citizens in imminent danger of being devoured by gnolls unless someone comes to their aid. My companions and I are ready to do so, but we require immediate transportation: a coach, a team of horses, and a competent driver. The situation is urgent and there is no time to waste. I fully understand that in these uncertain times, a businessperson may hesitate to offer credit. I assure you that if for any reason I do not return to make good on this debt, you may apply to the kingdom of Lomalos and will be compensated fully for your losses." (And so they would be, as long as the Royal Treasurer was not feeling vindictive, and the King has not revoked Edeleth's support.)
Position of Privilege and/or Persuasion: 8 (EDIT: OOC: Oh, crud!)
Without waiting to hear the dwarves' reply, Edeleth turns to glare at the party. "Now, kindly get your selves and your shopping bags either aboard your horses or the coach, or by every earth goddess in the multiverse, I WILL leave without you."

Zyman decides that the druid best not be ignored, and brings his new belongings to the cart, loading them inside and following up after, intent on trying to pack his items in the various pouches, saddle bags and other containers to create a travel pack that he could carry on foot as well. After half an hour of work, he's satisfied with having managed to stuff most of his things into his now almost comically large backpack. Try as he may though, the tent would have to be left outside his pack. Not wanting to admit defeat to his new found companions, he manner of factly looks at the pack and the remaining items and adds: "Probably best if we keep the tents stored in the cart for quick access. I'll do the same thing with my scrollcases, spell book, and a healing kit." Then, turning around to the others of the group: "Does anyone else need help packing? Edeleth is right, and time is of the essence here. I'd rather face some gnolls in battle, than having to patch up what and whoever they leave behind..."

For a moment Rosri had forgotten about the urgency, but upon seeing Mr.Edeleth and Mr.pack the cart he hurriedly packs hos things aswell. I must go get Butterscotch, I will meet you at the gate.” He ignores the pressing of people around him and rushes of to the stable where he finds Ruscoe.
“Mr.Ruscoe!” Rosri yell out upon seeing him. “I’m glad to find you here, Mr.Edeleth and Mr.Ozymandias has already gotten ahold of a cart and horses.” He takes a moment ro gather his breath before continue. “We need to leave right away! You can ride with me on Butterscotch if you’d like.”
Rosri is riding on Butterscotch infront of the cart scouting. He is feeling scared of what lies ahead but is comforted by the presence of his teammates.

Ozymandias is riding on the cart, which gives him the chance to read and to prepare for the troubles ahead

Edeleth is riding on the back of the cart, still in a foul mood, checking his arrows to make sure they haven't warped and that the arrowheads are sharp and firmly attached, and casting Mending on any broken fletching. He hopes the Gnolls are carrying enough cash to cover the debt he has just incurred, and even more that he survives to come back and pay it.

According to the maps, on horseback, the journey should take about a day and a half. You depart from the stables, right outside the main City gates in the Lower Peak, and start making your way down the Mountain, traveling down a snaky narrow road.
As soon as you leave the City, and its warmth, traveling down below the clouds, the cold winter weather of the Nâr Bârak Mountains hits you in the gizzards, and reminds you that the Outside World is a harsh place....
Snow starts falling in thick sheets, blurring your vision and slowing you down a bit. The icy wind starts numbing your fingertips and tows...

Zyman notices his teeth clattering, and huddles further inside the cart, trying to get as much as possible out of the cold winds, and to protect his precious books from the snow.

Being used to the warmth from the south Rosri huggs his cloak close to his body and his hood far down his face. He is grateful to the warmth coming form the horse and digging his hands deep in to her mane to get as much heat as possible.

Roscoe peers out from the wagon, happy to be back with nature like he belongs. He hadn't spent a lot of time dealing with ice and snow. "It gots pretty cold pretty quick, eh?," he mutters.

The night starts to fall, and by now the City of the Three Peaks is beyond your eyesight, hidden way up above the clouds, on top of the Mountains. You truly start feeling far from Civilization...
Despite the Freezing weather, the entire group powers through this half day's ride without taking any frost damage.
With a 12 on his Survival check, Roscoe finds an abandoned little cabin, overgrown and covered in folliage. The door is locked, but there is a small hole in the wall, where a Tree fell a while ago...the cabin seems devoid of any life inside...
With a 24 on his Survival, Edeleth notices some faint foot tracks around the area...5 sets...about 2 days old...heading East...and they are eerily similar to Hyena paws 🐾 🐾
The Pine Trees dotting the landscape also provide ample protection from the icy wind.
