Misprize Thou Not These Shadows That Belong: Lost Mines of Phandelver

Margret holds her head low, clearly disappointed that they need to go. "We best give the town the butter, not sure that will keep too long."

Krull first will buy some rations (5 ) and will use the First toilet he ll find

"Sorry Krull," Rabbit says briefly. To Gundren she then says, "An hour it is. We'll have to be quick."  

She then turns her attention to the others. "Why don't you all head for the Provisioner while I ride with Sildar to get the money. Then I'll meet you there."  Again, she asks Gundren, "How many days should we plan for? To figure how many rations we need."  

Once everyone is set, she pulls her horse alongside Krull's. She speaks in a feigned whisper, which is plenty loud enough for all to hear. "Krull my brother, if you need the toilet then you best take care of that. I think the rest of us have managed to find a way to take care of those sorts of things without making a big announcement about it."  She gives him a wink, a smirk across her face, as she rides on with Sildar into the town. 

Calithor has been unusually ... or perhaps now characteristically ... quiet during the journey back, but seems finally to come back to himself at the group approaches town only to stare at each of his companions in turn as they suggest leaving again. The prospect of a night in an inn, sleeping in a real bed, eating a meal cooked by someone who knows how to cook...these do not seem like great expectations, yet here he finds himself. Following along to the store to buy yet more provisions.

"There is no justice in the world. How many lives have we saved already?"

At the provisioner he finds himself eyeing off bottles of whiskey.

As someone still coming to the terms with being more than just the servant or "hiriling" of the group, Droop opted to quietly shadows the group until they diverge, and then follow whosoever seemed headed to Barthen's Provisions(not that he knew the name). After all, someone needed to still drive the cart and help inevitably load it up with any excess supplies for the journey! Though at the first signs of the shop owner being less than pleased with his presence, he'd be quick to skeedadle out of the place, and even go a step further in hiding beneath the cart.

But if left be, then once everyone saw to their own purchases would he nervously place 6 gold on the counter and say, "Uhh, this for you? Want, uhm... Want many arrows! And, uh, spare quiver, uhh... oh! And Good brush for horse and many days feed! Much as can with this!" He flashes a toothy smile meant to be disarming, only to come off at best off-putting, and at worse... perhaps a touch intimidating from all the sharp teeth in his mouth. A few of which were clearly missing however as a result of his treatment by Bugbears in the past. 

(OOC: Not sure how much a 'fancy/good' horse brush would go for. But leaving it up to DM regarding that and how much he's able and of what amounts. Above game the end goal would be to get at least 5 days of rations, 5 days of feed, 1 'good' brush, and 40 arrows plus an additional quiver to leave in the cart for the excess arrows. And if he has any "change" left over, he'd put it towards trying to get any horse treats or cheap spare parts for the wagon in case it breaks down on the road)

Margreet replenishes her arrow supply as well, grabbing a few bottles of spirits (Wine, whisky, rum) and a quick decent meal (warm stew, fresh breads).
Feeling better and somewhat refreshed, she prepares for their rush out of town.

Krull responds back friendly "toilet is a toilet..if you need to go just say it..it's not that I say I look for weird mushrooms.." .. He is quite confident that the rest will approve and then something clicked on his mind "ooh now I get it..this fancy word..it's not polite to say it eh?"

once he gets to Bartherns provisions he ll ask "Hey there.i would like to buy around 5 rations ,a bottle of wine and also do you have some special oil for my friend here?" And shows K.O

He whispers to him "you need a good cleaning mate..you stink death and mostly rotten flesh"

Once Rabbit collects the gold from Sildar, she rises quickly back to Barthen's Provisions to join the others.  She speaks to whoever is working there to see about trading some of the cheese they were carrying in return for rations. (Think we had '3 weeks worth' so maybe keep 1 and unload 2? She's going for rations for everyone.) "I'll even throw in the butter. Straight from Butterskull Ranch!"

(Persuasion: 12)

"Anything else we should be getting? Feed for the horses?" she asks.  When she gets a chance she will divide out the 100 gp - 20 gp to each person.

"maybe it would be good to buy some magic ..like those parchments with runes to protect us from the white dragon"

Krull normally is not very fond of magic..He understands though how useful it is and how drastically can change the battlefield in favor of the caster 

Healing potions are 50gp the cleric, she has 4 in stock

Feed (per day) 5cp

Arrows 20 = 1gp

Quiver 1gp

Mad dog 2020 wine keg 1gp, whisky bottle 2sp

fine horse brush 1silver

happy meal, stew 5 copper includes cursed doll... and fries,

 Rations (1 day) 5sp

Keg of water 5sp

Extra waterskin 2sp.

(OOC: So with the above prices in mind, Droop would ultimately aim for/end up with after spending 5 gp:)

2 sets of arrows of 2 gp
1 Extra Quiver for 1 gp
1 Fine Brush 1 sp
8 Days worth of Feed for 4 sp (kept in wagon)
3 Days worth of Rations for 1 gp 5sp

Rabbit still continues to speak with the proprietor to see if she can exchange some of the cheese they carry for supplies.  She notes that she's fine with just exchanging it for items, not coin. "Ideally I would like to get 50 days worth of rations and 50 days worth of feed for our horses - enough to last all of us 10 days. A fair trade for the 2 weeks supply of cheese we brought plus that butter!" (Persuasion: 20)

(I'm assuming 10 days. Rabbit asked Gundren how long they ought to expect to be gone, but he didn't answer.) 

Depending on how that negotiation goes she'll see what else she might get. 

Krull will buy 

A happy meal (he wants the cursed doll 😂) for 5copper

A bottle of wine 1g,5 rations for 15sp ,a healing potion for 50g and a horse brush (to use it as toothbrush 😂) for 1sp

Once he gets he happy meal will cheerfully say "Now you and K.O will be together..I always thought he needs a woman"

Once his transaction is concluded Krull will go where rabbit is and will pat her on her shoulder" How is it going..He wants our cheese?"

Rabbit takes a small step back towards Krull, glancing over her shoulder at him. "I'm sure he wants some, but he's really considering my offer carefully!" 

(There is no cursed doll, it was a joke, sorry. but the stew price stands. Have you guys considered, what the horses are going to do, during your expedition, into the mine? It may take hours or days.)

"Anything else we should be getting? Feed for the horses?" she asks.  When she gets a chance she will divide out the 100 gp - 20 gp to each person.

 

 Barthen "I'll give you 20 gold, for all the Butter, and cheese." 

( you can subtract the price of the provisions from that) 

(can at least be animated? that would be fun and K.O would have a friend )

"Anyone need torches or other supplies before we enter the mines?" Margret says thoughtfully, now that her stomach is full.

She will also purchase a 10ft pole.

"Hey, what will we do with the horses while we are in the mines?"

"Hmm walk on foot and it will take days to get there..we need his brothers alive so we need the horses..we ll have to leave them be once we get there..they probably know how to return to phandelver" 

"Alright," Rabbit says reluctantly to Barthen. "You're getting an amazing bargain, but I'll take the 20 gold."  As she gets a chance she will again distribute the proceeds to each of the party members - 4 gp to each. "Guess we'll just get our own supplies. I presume though that we can all put stuff on the wagon?" 

With Margret's comment about the horses, she shrugs a bit. "Gundren and Sildar have given us no idea where this mine even is located. Who knows how far it will be. And that's assuming that's where we're going, since Gundren has been so tight-lipped." She pauses a moment to consider. "I don't know whether the horses would know how to return on their own - maybe one of you know better than I do. But given the dangers out there, I give minimal chance they make it back on their own."  She shakes her head. "Let's ask Gundren and Sildar. IF we need them, we bring them and hope for the best. If not, we stable them here." 

For herself, she starts to make a list of the supplies she will get (total 2 gp, 2 sp): 
3 Rations (1 gp, 5 sp)
1 Pouch (5 sp) 
1 Waterskin (2 sp) 

"If we need feed for the horses we'll have to come back by here on our way," Rabbit adds. Once everyone has their supplies, she prepares to head out. "Now, where were we meeting up at? Guess Sildar is back in the center of town?"
