In order:
Aran: You should post in the Hunt thread, that's the new adventure. Unless you have something to add to the old adventure, of course, but that should be a short closing remark.
Dakash: Your first magic item (well, second, considering you have a cantrip thingy) will be crafted by Zhorr during downtime. You will have some time before leaving for your mission, so you will be able to talk to him and figure out what can be made.
Kamea: For information, the current thread will encompass the entire adventure, including the capture of Terk and the return of the heroes. It was rather convenient for me that I could clean up loose ends at the same time... But if your story is going to include a reality warp, may as well take advantage of it for practical purposes :P
I shall point out that the plant zombies in the last adventure had a significant amount of loot (you may remember I specifically pointed out the presence of some surprisingly shiny items), and defeating Lilly (as opposed to running out the clock) would also have netted you she stash of magic items that she'd accumulated (in her "nest").
The world is rigged in the heroes' favor, as fantasy worlds are wont to be, and there are many ways to win, some easier than others. However, taking the path of least resistance will inevitably lead to the least amount of loot (I am still open to suggestions on how to avoid turning combat into a horribly painful grind, mind).
Bottom line: Zhorr will make sure that you are properly equipped, since WBL is an integral part of your EPL. However, at level 3 the mandatory equipment is rater limited, as yu can see in the automatic bonus progression table:
