Haveron took some time for himself, and traded some metal for some drink during their wait. He also ensured to communicate with the merchants to ask them about the road and if they 'actively expect' trouble, or just are taking precautions. The man has not been that way in a long enough period to mean he's not quite aware about how bad the roads are.

Shroud has little in the way for preparing, after another meal and rest overnight he is ready to go.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 71):

Sorry I took so long. Berry says, before getting the contract to sign. She actually reads it carefully before signing it. Berry doesn't have anything to do to prepare really. She does relay what she learned from her mentor when she gets the chance. The story about the demon, the silver chains and such would be a very old binding, but the tower's description would put it as a younger tower.

In reply to Berry (msg # 75):

Gareth will take some time to ask Berry about where she went, as she mentioned heading to her mentor before she left. He asks about the mentor, and what he knew.

Having spent some time in a place frequented by his own people, He is ready to move on ... he arrives packed and ready to go well before he assigned time.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 77):
The next morming, The caravan forms.

Sorsha shows up with her cousin and supplies of food and water.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 78):

Gareth shows up with the other members of the guild, with all his worldly possessions.

Did Berry get to answer him?

In reply to Gareth (msg # 76):

OOC: Sry answer now

"Basically my mentor takes an interest in demons, and he's heard of a demon bound like that, but neither the location nor the time frame fit. So it sounds like detail from one story got mixed in with detail from another."

Berry shows up with Var in tow. If asked about him she says he'll do manual labor for food, although he'll probably show more effort if he's getting paid. She does appear to have some scratch marks on her hand. Like from a cat.
[Private to GM:
OOC: I assume? He was in Wastrel's hope. So tell me if I need a retcon. (Or just have the caravan master says there all full.)]

In reply to Berry (msg # 81):

"Awfully glad that does not match. Did you ask how to kill demons if we come across them? Oh, and where did that scratch mark come from on your hand?"

In reply to Gareth (msg # 82):

"I think you kill demons by blasting them or stabbing them. Oh, and I tried to pet a cat. It wasn't happy with me." Berry replies.

In reply to Berry (msg # 83):

"Maybe you should have blasted it. Do you need any first aid?"

She looks at Gareth "Like I said, we ran into demons and just killed them the normal way. I think the more powerful ones might have protections. I guess we will find out when we get there"

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 85):

"Finding out when we get ther is how to get into a real pickle, in my experience. Forewarned is fourarmed, and I like as many arms as possible!"

Let me Ssseee Ssscratchesss ssso they do not become red and painful; That could make you Ssssick!




[Private to GM: 11:01, Today: Adept Yisslitheniss rolled 11 using 3d6.  Minor Healing. Just made it. ]

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 87):

Berry's servant reviews the contract with a sharp eye and a wicked grin.
"Hmm, no actual description of how much work, just 'duties as assigned' they shall have to find me first. Done."

"Well, from my readings, different powerful ones need different things, far too many to drag along if we don't have some idea which demon it is"

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 89):

"Ah, thanks Sorcha. That was what worried me.

Are we all here and ready to go now? Need to earn some cash to pay Sorcha back!"

Haveron patted Gareth on the back after having listened to his and Sorscha's talk of demons. "I reckon we are all ready to head out. It's good to be prepared for these things, so maybe before we head straight into the place where demons might roam we can scout the area and then make additional preparations if needs be.

Sorscha, I think your expertise would be vastly beneficial to our efforts"

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 91):

The caravan is forming, with pack mules and a few carts pulled by teams of mules. Everyone is walking. You can see the last bundles being packed on the mules orvon the carts. You note a few barrels, but perhaps not as many as you might expect. Provisions seem to make up three of the carts, although one is loaded with cookware as well.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 92):

Gareth will inspect the caravan, more to ascertain friend from foe for later, but he pretends to be interested in the goods, asking about them.

Shroud makes sure all his things are together and finds the rest of the group, he sticks close to them.

He places himself about ⅓ of the way back from the front, assuming most problems will occur in the front.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 95):

The Caravan heads south first, out the Merchant gate, although the destination is West.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 96):

Gareth positions himself near the middle of the convoy. He is confidant that the caravan knows where it is going better than he does now.
