Dutrirr will go tonight to get at least some studded leather in the hopes it should be ready in the morning if any adjustments are to be made.

It sounds as if Corwin will have time, can I assume Corwin can buy a potion of healing without a fuss before settling in to entertain himself before sleeping?

(Yes)

As the group begins discussing plans for the night and the coming morning, Vaeri asks, "Are you satisfied with our meeting? I am prepared to head out if you all have no more questions for me."

(OOC: @Paysien - Can we assume that we were able to purchase equipment for the prices listed in the PHB with our 50 gp signing bonuses?  Or did you want to role play that shopping experience too?  In particular, I think that a few of us would like to grab a Potion of Healing before we head to the dungeon, and @secretfool wanted to upgrade Dutrirr's armor before we head to the dungeon.)

(OOC: The player has lots of questions about the dungeon, Lord Taross, and the "artifacts," but none that Dreet would think to ask!)

Dreet takes the pouch with his signing bonus and his "Dungeoneering Licence."  He says, "I am satisfied.  Give my thanks to Sir Hamart and Lord Taross for this opportunity.  I will do my best to make them proud and to keep everyone in our group safe while we explore the dungeon."

If the others want to do their shopping before dinner, Dreet will finish his drink and accompany them.  Then he'll come back to the inn and have something to eat before an early bedtime.

Not wanting to start pontificating on all of the possible reasons they might find themselves in a situation that cooking would be a bad idea. Colten looks at Vogan and raises his ale when it arrives.

“May we never find ourselves in a situation where we eat something other than your cooking.”

Colten turns his attention to Dreet.

“What time do you normally wake up? I am planning to start work crafting spell scrolls around 4a.m. if I can find the supplies today. I find working before the sun is out to be the most relaxing.”

After Vaeri speaks to the group 

"I am all good. Thank you for all of the help you have given us."

(OOC: I assume we can just buy the things we need and are not going to RP shopping. Also I did not ask but is it fine if we use the 2024 rules for crafting spell scrolls?)

"Well," Dreet says, "at the estate, I'm normally already working an hour or two before sunrise, depending on the time of year.  But I was going to try to sleep in tomorrow morning to make sure that I'm fully rested.  Tomorrow could be a long, hard day if we find the dungeon to be unwelcoming and dangerous, and I want to be ready for that.  But I'm sure that I'll be awake by sunrise, and ready to go soon after that!"

After they purchase supplies, Dreet will have a big meal of whatever the inn is serving.  He eats his fill, remembering that his father always told him, "an army marches on his stomach."  He hopes that Vogan proves him wrong, but he anticipates many days ahead with nothing to eat but dried rations.

(OOC: I had already equipped Dreet with a bunch of gear, like a crowbar and grappling hook.  Feel free to check Dreet's sheet since we probably don't need 6 copies of everything.  Once he picks up a Potion of Healing, he'll be ready into the dungeon.)

Vogan had taken to completely draining his mug as others conversed among themselves, before practically slamming the mug down against the table. "Ahh~ Some good spirits those were! But what's this I here about you leaving? Other business to intend to? Mn! Fair enough, friend. This one here has no further questions for ya. Extend my thanks as well, and if you here from a merchant named Mogu, tell'em I'll be sure to make sure everything is squared away. He'll understand."

At that, Vogan looked to Dreet with a bit of a twinkle in his eyes. "Early riser too, eh?" He chuckles. "Same here. I'd say you'd be surprise how much goes into making even a halfway decent breakfast, but something tells me you'd be no stranger, even /if/ you yourself never had to embrace that battlefield." The goliath then turned to the others. "Think I'll still be up early, if only to make sure there's a heartier breakfast awaiting you lot. But feel the need to do the same, lads!" He assured everyone. "'fore all that, I think I'll join ya Colten and whoever else is of a mind to for a shopping run as well. Doubt they'll carry the really good stuff here, but never hurts to be prepared, eh?!"

(OOC: I haven't done so yet, but if allowed to, I'd like to purchase a bit more gear as well. Thinking namely either studded leather armor, OR a few other lesser items like silk rope, grappling hook, and maybe some extra spices he could package in such a way to try and make a scent deterrents)

 (Yes)

((studded leather bought, i also wanted to but pitond and such but that isn't available anymore in 2024 apparently?)) 

(OOC: from the description, I think that the (2014) pitons and spikes, iron (10) are now the same thing: (2024) iron spikes.  Similarly, (2014) hammer and light hammer are now just (2024) light hammer. Note that Dreet has 10  iron spikes and a light hammer.)

Ah thanks; Dutrirr would be horrible guide if he didn't come prepared with spikes and hammer himself;)

Or even a whole Climber's Kit! 

Really, Dreet will just be happy that we have someone with Cartographer's Tools and the skill to use them.  He hasn't really spent any time in underground dungeons, and he worries about getting lost in a "maze of twisty little passages, all alike."

((Pff, I looked for packs and couldn't find it:P

And DM about the cartographer's tools can I just say Dutrrir's spend sometime of each rest drawing out the dungeons we visit? Or you want me to roll for it some times?))

(OOC: Everything Vogan would purchase/try to purchase is in spoiler below for the interested. He'd also express interest of renting a room or storage for backup gear in case things happen in the dungeon. Just not sure how to price that, if it would it even be possible... )

 Yeah we can just say that that's your default activity for a short rest/long rest when you're not sleeping.

(OOC: Just realized that they only have default rope for 2024, so with that in mind, just grabbing an extra of the regular kind)

-Bell (1gp)
-Rope (1gp)
-Grappling Hook (2gp)
-Book (25gp)
-Herbalist Kit(5gp)
-Cook's Utensils[x2] (2gp)
-Vials[x3] (3gp)
-String (1sp)

Total Cost: 39gp 1sp
Total Remaining: 21gp 9sp

Not sure what the cost would be to rent a room/storage space for several days, but at least 10gp would go towards that.

 

 You'd be able to find everything except the book. This village is too small to have a bookseller.

(Shall we fade to the morning?)

(OOC: Works for me, Paysien! Honestly thought that was what we were waiting for at this point)

(OOC: works for me.)
