Sylrie Caldamus

"Here in Aundair, cheese is definitely the talk...especially when paired with the right wine. I wonder though..." Sylrie turned a bit on his horse to look at Kash, "...do your people culturally enjoy cheese, or are you stand out Kashie?" the question came off as academic, no slight, no offense, and no joke intended.

Quote from Sarcasticfury >>

"I prefer some wine with my cheese, but I sincerely doubt we shall have much access to wine here."

 ((OOG Aundair is modeled after France. Also, it has the best vineyards in the world. OF COURSE, there is wine here lol ))

Isuzu silently trails behind the others listening to their banter and talk of cheese.

As the horses come to a stop, the young stablehands come out and take the reins. 

"Alright, meet back at the Map Room after chow tonight. Full battledress. We can be shipped out at any time. Make sure all your gear is in order. Fallout." Lt. Winehand walks away toward the Major's office inside the compound. Looking around the fort you see the preparations are being made for a deployment, and if LT's words are to be believed, it will be your deployment. Where will you go? The front lines against Thrane? On warships taken to fight the undead hordes of the Karrnathi army? To fight along Cyre and Brelish forces holding back the lines to take Metrol? 

((OOG Welcome to home base! Now, you will be here a few times throughout this part of the Last War. There are blacksmith's, mages, leatherworkers, KP's (mhmm grub or maybe... CHEESE!), and quartermasters. There is also a master of arms here for training purposes. Now, you won't have much time before the meeting in the map room, maybe six (6) hours. You also have your own bunks here and storage lockers. Explore the fort or just get your gear ready, the choice is yours! ))

Kora

This is Kora's plan, subject to the whims and plans of the others. Always one to follow orders, Kora takes her gear back to her bunk, and cleans and checks it, fixing a buckle here, checking an edge there. When that is done, she'll head to the quartermaster to pull any pay that my be waiting, and she'll return to her bunk to package 80% of it up, write a note to her mother, and then return to the quartermaster to post it. Finally, she'll grab a quick bite, dress for combat, and attend the meeting in the map room.

(If everyone goes to eat in some other order, she will join them, and then do the rest of it around that event.)

Kashkaval

"Culturally we enjoy killing things.....and occasionally eating them....this does not include cheese.  I am considered an outcast by my kind because I do not fit in with their ideals, I was sickly as a calf and did not fare well in the martial training of my peers.  I was often called cursed by my teachers because of my inherent magical talents, and it brought shame upon my family so I left at an early age to try and find my place in the world.  A place free from the close minded society of the Minotaurs and the Daughters of Sora Kell who I think coveted my potential.  Once I had thought the wizards in the floating towers of Arcanix could be of some help, but I was no more than an idle curiosity to be studied, and when they could learn no more I was escorted from the towers.  In the years since leaving Droaam, I have found few teachers willing to try, most of what I have figured out has been through trial and error.  Eventually I befriended a member of House Lyrander (GMoat feel free to make up a name to fit in here - relevant to your story or not) and they took me in, gave me work and a reason to stay."

Percival will get a bite to eat and also see if he can't get a bottle of wine. He will also practice his swordplay before retiring to polish and sharpen his rapier.

((OOG Mingo brings up a good point which I didn't even consider smh, military personal definitely get paid. Hmm... give me a couple of minutes to research and or come up with something lol JEEZ! Just when I thought I thought of everything lol :P ))

((OOG Dirk d'Lyrandar. ))

Isuzu will also grab a bite to eat and then organize her gear, etc. so that it's all ready at a moment's notice if and when they get shipped out.

Kashkaval 

Once back in the Fort he will follow the others for food (and pay?), otherwise he'll stop by his bunk and check his gear, he will also see if he can scrounge up some more cheese to restock for the next sortie.  Depending on how much time - he may also catch a quick nap in the comfort of his own bunk.

((OOG Pay will be 10 GP/week. For your current rank. Paid on a letter of credit, House Kundarak mark. Can be used or cashed out at any House Kundarak bank. Every soldier has an account through House Kundarak.))

Sylrie Caldamus

Sylrie nodded, his curiosity overly satiated, "Well you've stayed in the right place Kashie, we've cheese galore my boy" the last part of his sentence Sylrie did in an accent commonly put on to indicate a man of high society. He then turned back in his saddle and headed toward the stables to get Aurala's Pride stabled for the evening. He then headed on foot to get some food, riding made him hungry, then it was back his bunk for a nap and to check his gear before heading to meet the LT in the Map Room.

Percival and Kash will be able to find the food and drink they are looking for; wine and cheese respectively. 

The KP's in the kitchen will be able to help with that, a halfling female from House Ghallanda by the name of Pippie will be able to help assist you with that. There's not a lot to go around, but a couple of bottles of Aundarian's mid-range vintage. 987 YK, good year! And two nice wheels of Taleggio cheese. For her services, she asks for a 1 GP from each of you.

((OOG At over a thousand years old, Taleggio is one of the world's oldest soft cheeses. The washed rind cheese is in a family of cheeses created by monks who made cheese from the milk of their grazing cows in order to eliminate waste. The story is that the monks repeatedly washed the wheels clean of any mold that began to grow on their surfaces. Little did they know, they were actually fostering the growth of a slew of new bacteria on the inside and outside of the cheeses, contributing to pungent flavors and even more pungent surface smells. Taleggio smells sort of like... feet. Rich, buttery, meaty, feet. Its soft rind is edible, though it acquires a grainy texture from its repeated wash with salty brine. ))

The quartermaster will make sure each of you is paid up in full, his name is Duggar. He is a representative from House Kundarak, though not a Dragonmarked Heir.

Kora will take 2 gallifars from Duggar, and send the remainder on to her mother, as usual. Edit: she's going to change up some of her coinage, for lighter travel, too, trading in 10 more sovereigns for a gallifar. (I accounted for it on her sheet.)

((OOG About currency in Eberron: 

In the modern age, merchants have begun to use letters of credit to handle large transactions, drawing on the reserves of the dwarf banks of the Mror Holds. But most day to day transactions are dealt with through the use of coins made from precious metal. Once all coins were minted under the authority of the King of Galifar. With the collapse of the old kingdom, each of the Five Nations began to mint its own currency, as did the Mror bankers. However, while the designs imprinted on these coins vary based on the source, each of these forces has continued to use the same metals, weights, and denominations set forth in the days of Galifar, maintaining a simple standard for commerce across Khorvaire.
The crown is made from copper and traditionally depicts the crown of Galifar on one face. The crown is the lowest denomination of coin minted under the rule of Galifar. Ten crowns are worth one sovereign.
The sovereign is made from silver and bears the face of a living or recent ruler. An unskilled laborer can expect to earn a sovereign for a day’s work. Ten sovereigns are worth one golden Galifar.
The Galifar is made from gold. It bears the image of Galifar I, the founder of the old kingdom. Ten golden Galifars are worth one platinum dragon.
The dragon is minted from platinum and bears the image of one of the dragons of legend. With a value of one hundred sovereigns, these coins are used only by the wealthiest citizens of Khorvaire, and the average peasant may never see such a coin.
There are a number of other coins in circulation, such as the double crown of Breland or the silver throne of Cyre, which has a value of five sovereigns. However, all of the major nations make use of the four basic coins described above.
To summarize the values: 1000 copper crowns = 100 silver sovereigns = 10 golden galifars = 1 platinum dragon. ))

OOC: New goal, I want to collect three Platinum Dragons, one for each of the progenitor dragons.

 Kora is able to do that, Duggar has no problem doing as you request. For a dwarf, he is quite disheveled. Always hurrying about his post, alone here away from his clan and his House. He does always seem to get the job done, in a timely manner. He just seems stressed doing so. 

"Ah's you wish, 'ill be done." He says as he rumbles through his papers. " 'nything else, Kora." The r's in your name roll off his tongue in the thick bruggish accent of his. Thick like his hands, and his neck. Covered in course black hairs, covered my an unkempt beard. 

(OOC - who knew Sylrie was a numismatist)

If there is also time before the meeting - Kashkaval will try and find Captain Fletch and check in with him to see if there is any news from their House.

Making your way up the docking tower will take a little bit of time. About five (5) minutes. As you climbed the ramps to get to the top of the tower you see the dockmaster, a fellow by the name of Prentice overlooking some logbooks as goods are being unloaded to the elevator. ((OOG this is a supply elevator and for troop movements, not for the casual user.)) He looks up from his logs as you approach. 

"Hey Kash, haven't seen ye in a few. Thought they might have shipped out me favorite bull," he says jokingly as he walks up with his arm extended. "What can we do ye fer?"
