Re: Forging a Path
Eryn, Mouse, and Ilura were able to spend their time productively, getting baths, buying their last supplies, and recruiting some other potential helpers for their voyage. Ilura managed to get some advice about the bodies, and was informed that they would be resistant to resurrection if they were infused with Holy Water. Living people could drink Holy water to resist being resurrected after death, or they could be soaked in it after death. It would only be a temporary effect though.
By the time the sun was starting to lower in the sky, the three adventurers and Westly were standing near a fountain in a nearby park, looking over the four individuals who had answered their call for aid. However, Markhain was a large city with people from all over the world gathered in one place. The people who offered their services were probably not exactly what the adventurers had in mind...

What do you do?
As I mentioned in OOC, whoever went to the bathhouse can heal half of their HP as if they rested. Nobody has to mark off a ration though, since they recently ate chowder at the bazaar and/or swallowed a pelican whole. Feel free to Level Up too if you have enough XP.
You can easily make your purchases too. Mouse, you can find decent shoes for 1 coin each. Two coins for two shoes. If you would rather steal them, being a thief and all, then you'll need to make a roll instead.
For the recruits, on a 7-9, you’ll have to settle for someone close to what you want or turn them away. Hence the odd assortment above. It sounded like your group was looking for a Warrior, Protector, Adept, and Priest, so I included one person more focused on each specialty. You can select 0-4 of the available recruits.
