Predawn comes.

Ulric, Josiane, Dorgan and Guntram have all leveled up over night. I have re-rolled everyone's hit points, with the following results:

Olaf (F2) 2+3 HD : 4, 3 = 10hp
Dieter (F4) 4+2 HD : 6, 2, 3, 3 = 16hp
Ulric (M4) 2+2 HD : 3, 3 = 8hp
Gustave (F3) 3+2 HD : 5, 5, 1 = 13hp
Highbough (W3) 2+1 HD : 4, 2 = 7hp
Desmond (F3) 3+4 HD : 5, 1, 4 = 14hp
Josiane (T3) 3+2 HD : 3, 2, 5 = 12hp
Dorgan (F3) 3+5 HD : 6, 6, 1 = 18hp
Guntram (F2) 2+4 HD : 3, 5 = 12hp
Murphy the mule : 2+1 HD : 3, 2 = 6hp

(Rufus is still elsewhere)

The http://odd74.proboards.com/index.cgi?bo ... hread=7388Present Company Again thread should now reflect these rolls. Please let me know if it doesn't.

While the company slept, the accounting fairies have been busy and have (belatedly) determined what finances are presently available to the company.

The Sisters of Mercy have the following loot in keeping for the company:
Olaf {100sp, The Resplendant Scepter}
Dieter {10gp, 60sp}
Ulric {10gp, potion in a copper flask}
Gustave {5gp}
Highbough {110sp, 350cp}
Desmond {5gp}
Josiane {Pelenwin's Innocent Opus}

Which is a total of 510sp worth of coin, plus a few items.


Gustave and Josiane procured the following goods for the upcoming trip: 14 weeks trail rations, 12 torches, 2 hemp ropes, 2 backpacks, 5 sacks, and 5 flasks lantern oil for a total expenditure of 280 sp. Actually, Gustave got frustrated and found himself in a winebar, while Josiane completed the errand.

Prior to this expense, the company had access to the following funds:

Olaf {6gp, 90sp}
Dieter {4gp, 66sp}
Ulric {3gp, 45sp} (4 gp given to Josiane for supplies)
Gustave {3gp, 10sp} (he blew 3sp on cigars and wine)
Highbough {6gp, 80sp}
Desmond {2gp, 10sp}
Josiane {4gp, 6sp}
Dorgan {3sp}
Guntram {1sp}

Which is a total of 28gp, 311sp (479sp value).

280sp is approximately 60% of the company's net worth, so let us say the costs are divided evenly, costing each of you 60% of your coin. This leaves the company with the following ready cash:

Olaf {50sp}
Dieter {36sp}
Ulric {25sp}
Gustave {11sp}
Highbough {46sp}
Desmond {6sp}
Josiane {2sp}
Dorgan {1sp}
Guntram {1sp}

Any rounding errors can be attributable to medieval figuring.

Let us also assume that Murphy the mule is racked and packed with all these supplies, and ready to go.

How much of this does Dieter owe for his new shield?

He has already paid for his new shield; that amount is what is left over.

Josiane prepares The Fiat Libation and The Supplication of Medicant Requite.

She will also see to it that the sleeping Guore is as comfortable as possible, lock the door and leave instructions with the servants that there is a sleeping guest in residence whose needs are catered for and who is not to be disturbed under any circumstances.

Our secret is very likely blown, but she cannot in good conscience stuff the dwarf in a secret passage and leave him to the mercy of the centipedes..!

In that case, Dieter will pick up his shield and then meet the rest at the farm.

If someone wishes his protection and/or company while travelling there, so much the better.

Gustave obtains his fill of pastries from Bennug before departing, eusuring fill his backpack is brimming with croissants before he exits the manse.

His wavy locks have a particular gleam this morning, it seems, and his armour has, perchance, seen a recent polish. His resplendence en-route to the main gate is one of some note, perhaps tarnished only (or maybe intentionally accentuated?) by the small crumbs of pastry adhering to his lower lip.

Ulric rises feeling rested more powerful than ever. He carefully studies his Grimoire in private in preparation for the trials ahead.

He then stores his grandfather's sword and some other items in his iron strongbox and locks it.

"If anyone needs any valuables secured, you are welcome to place them in my strongbox," he offers the others.

Ulric gathers his belongings, packing them carefully in his backpack and waxed satchels. He takes his share of the rations and packs them as well then fills his waterskin.

"The dark dwarf will have to wait," he says when everyone has gathered. "In will inform Bennug that the room is not to be disturbed. When we return, Highbough and I can prepare the proper enchantment to break the spell on the lock. It may even be in my possession, but I need time for study; a luxury that we do not currently have."

Dorgan awakens full of vim and vigor. For some reason, he veritably glows with enthusiasm for the current expedition. He grabs his gear, takes a few practice swipes with Mads' Cold Iron Axe, and heads downstairs.

After availing himself of whatever scraps of food are available from the larder for breakfast, he'll await Josiane and accompany her outside the city.
