Dox, wearing his gauntlets of ogre power that he totally had last night, stands up after eating.
"Ok. I want to hit a smithy or magic shop before we go I've been meaning to get a better longsword for some time now. I'll drop a grand I don't care" Dox speaks loudly hoping a local wanting a commission will lead him in the right direction.
So we have a mix of stuff going on in chat and I want to check in on where everyone is at in game time? As far as I know you're all still in the tavern eating breakfast probably and talking about what you're plan is.
Gul, having come down with Dox introduces herself to you all and says "So Dox is thinking of fighting in the games. What about you folks? Any of you ever do any fighting?"
She sets down and tucks into a plates of eggs sausage like she hasn't eaten in a week. With a sly smile she says around a mouthful of sausage "He's certainly got a good sword for it"
Both the innkeeper, Skip, and Gul speak up at Dox's proclomation. Skip rubbing his chin "I do know a good smithy, I'd be happy to send you his way. You tell him I sent you and he'll give you a deal. Least I can do after last night"
Gul asks "What exactly are you looking for? I have a few connections around here after last years games."
"Wait, it's that kind of game?" Dox smiles clearly he understood but can't pass an easy joke. "I actually hoped to get a new sword before it and was hoping you could tell me about the games themselves. "
"I like my longsword but something that swings a little more accurately and cuts a little better...that'd be a good investment "(ooc +1)
Mateu ests his meal and lets the others talk, quietly enjoying his meal. As he here the talk of a blacksmith he scoots closer. "Well perhaps we could all consider paying them a visit. If our fine friend puts in a good word then it would possibly help us make new connections and have a reason to come to this town more often."
Mimzy sits down at the table, takes out her vial of pixie dust and snorts a bit to take the edge off the morning. Bored and uninterested she leans back and enjoys a wave of euphoria as she waits patiently for the group to hit the road. She smiles down at the pixie bathing nude in her drink...
Skip says "YES, that would be grand, You coming back and playing again" rubbing his hands together unconscionably he continues "and I'm sure my blacksmith friend will help you out"
Gul shakes her head "Oh, I've played many games around these parts sweet Doxxie, I hope you didn't think you were getting special treatment" She says with a laugh. "As to the sword it's up to you. The fellow I know doesn't have a shop, per se, but he's always had what I've needed in the past" Nudging Dox she says "Not that like that now, don't get jealous. Either way I've got to get on the road so if you want me to introduce you..."
"I do want to be introduced. Skip, if her guy can't help I'll look into your friend and after we play the keep you can book us again. Make sure you mention we played there, you'll get a good crowd but you know that".
Dox gets up. "I'm going to check out her contract, if yall dont come with I'll meet you here before we head to the keep." And Dox walks out with Gul.
Mat smirks internally as he sees the greedy gleam in Skip's eyes, knowing that the group and the bartender could have a mutually beneficial arrangement. "That sounds like a grand idea as I do so enjoy playing in such a fine place and with such generous company. I would gladly makemthis a regular stop for our group!" As he hears Mimzy call out to Dox, he shakes his head at her and lets a small chuckle escape. "You look jealous, perhaps you should go along with him."
Mateu slaps her on the shoulder gently and finishes his breakfast. "So did you make sure to not finish off the rest od your dust? Don't need you trying to kill somone at the keep if you run out."
So Dox and Gul head out. (I'm going to continue in thread but no all of a sudden having a sneaking feeling and running in to save him at the last second, lol, wait, what... nvm)
Gul leads Dox down a main road, then quickly turns off and starts taking some back ways through the town. Dox quickly starts to loose his bearings.
You can give me a survival check to try to keep track of where she's taking you.
Mimzy without a word gets up and heads outside... deciding to take a walk, stretch her legs and check out the surroundings.
OOC: Posted before seeing your post... Brian (overlap) so the intent here was not for Mimzy to follow Dox, etc. so you can have her going off in the opposite direction/way... is fine.
Rolling for Gold: 5
Well that means I have 1,500 to start with.
Zabius come down, having gone to bed late due to his late night playing with other company
Mimzy Starting Gold Roll: 2 x 250 + 500 = 1,000 GP
9 x250
What would a simple horse and cart cost us? Little faster and some carrying capacity sounds good.
As to the cart (again just for reference)

"Last night was fun and profitable. I wouldn't mind coming back"
