"Well, Lets see...

If you are going to be travelling through the wilderness, I've got camping supplies. A tent, bedroll, some firewood, if you think you'll need it, and some trail rations.

If you plan on travelling to more civilized lands, especially if you intend to cross national borders, you'll need Identification Papers, and travel documents. If you travel with House Orien, you'll just need to pay for transportation. If you want your own transportation, I can supply you with tack and a saddle, and such."
 
Jaiden

She wasn't exactly sure where she would be going, but she knew the inconvenience in having a mount, especially in the small places that they'd been traveling. In addition she didn't think that they'd be currently traveling anywhere where they would need identification papers. At least, not as of yet. "Hypothetically speaking, if one were to...let's say...explore a cairn...what would one need?" She phrased it in that tense for protective purposes. People were always looking for a reason to pillage and plunder anything they could get their hands on. She didn't want to bring any looters sneaking up behind them on their expedition.

Taggin

When Jaiden mentions exploring a Cairn, Taggin holds up a hand and says "Ah, Say no more. Your business is your business. Wouldn't be right for me to know the details.

Ok, you need some gear. Let me see what I can do for you."

Taggin begins moving around the shop, picking up various items and carrying them over to the counter and setting them down in front of Jaiden. He explains each item as he sets it down and what its purposes is, why you might want it, and why you might not want it...

{OOC: Description of items took place in PM. Jaiden decided on some things and made the purchase.}

(04:52:37 PM) sj_the_bartender: *puts the rope, and torches in Jaiden's Pack, along with the rations. Hangs the hook and the waterskin from loops in the side, and stuffs the flint and steel in a side pocket* Everything except the bedroll.
(04:52:50 PM) sj_the_bartender: but you can tie that over the top and you're good to go
(04:53:48 PM) Tifferzzz: "Also." She stated. "Can you add a bucket to that?"
(04:54:13 PM) sj_the_bartender: Sure, but it won't fit in the backpack. Bucket - 5 SP. New total 21 GP, 1 SP, 4 CP
(04:56:38 PM) Tifferzzz: She pays the man and then heads back out, having the items that she needs as well as being more than satisfied meal-wise. She heads back to the group.

Jaiden

It always seemed to take twice as long to get back then it did to leave, but she finally arrived back at the home, fully equipped.
 
Hazrad

Looking over to Jaiden when she arrived, with some rabbit left in hand, he nodded and waved her over, offering what was left of the portion of rabbit he was originally offered. "Got caught up with something? You don't look injured...thankfully."
 
Fortus

Fortus looked up from his mostly eaten rabbit leg as Jaiden arrived back at last. She seemed to have a great deal more than she started off with...and the artificer wondered what she had bought.

"What supplies did you pick up in town?" Fortus asked of Jaiden.
 
Slade

The warforged simply saw Jaiden enter back in and figured now they could prepare properly for what lied on ahead. Mohan should have some idea of what to do from what he had stated before about the acid right?
 
Jaiden

She nodded to them as she arrived and replied, "two weeks worth of rations, some torches, flint and steel, a waterskin, and among other things a bucket." She took the rabbit, and though she was mostly full, she still didn't waiver on eating it. "Thank you." She replied. "I also bought some silk rope. I'm told that it's the strongest."

Mohan

Mohan finished his portion of the rabbit and took a drink from his water skin.

"Well then. We have rope, torches and a bucket." He laughed. "I did some asking around in town, and I think we might have stumbled onto the nest of the acid beetles that the local farmers were having trouble with. They are the only thing anyone could think of that would explain the scarring on the walls of Slade's tunnel."

He reached into his belt pouch. "Alchemists fire" he said as he held up the flask "if we run into a swarm of them, this should burn them to a crisp."
 
Fortus

"I assume that we do...the thought of having the aid of alchemists fire in facing those acid beetles makes my thoughts somewhat more relaxed but never less wary"

Fortus then turned and gazed into the night gathered around them. It gathered as a sort of wall against anything unwelcome...or on one hand, a window for enemies to catch them unawares. The artificer shook off these foreboding thoughts and looked into the fire once more.
 
Hazrad

He looked to Jaiden and grinned, "A bucket! I was looking for one earlier, wanted to clear out the well so we would have some fresh drinking water, rather than having to rely upon the Host to create some to quench our thirsts. May I borrow it? Fresh water in the morning would be ideal."

He paused at the mention of acid beetles, and started thinking. Perhaps the Host would have some sort of answer to this plight....he would ask about it in his prayers in the morning.
 
Mohan

"I agree. We should rest here overnight and then return to the Cairn at dawn. You know this would make a good headquarters for a group of adventurers. Just a thought."

With that said, Mohan went back to what remained of his food.
 
Fortus

The artificer munched on the remains of the rabbit leg and the hunk of cheese next to him thoughtfully. They would make their way back to the cairn the following day at dawn and face down whatever they would encounter...even if it were the acid beetles the farmers were troubled by lately.
 
Hazrad

With the ok from Jaiden, he grabbed the bucket and went to the well to begin clearing out the stagnant water. Tomorrow they would have clean, fresh water from the well.
 
{OOC: you still going to do that, even though its dark out now? You can, but it will either take you longer, or you'll have to burn some torch light.}
