In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 516):

At the inn? 1 silvet. Gets you 2 meals

Dne cheerfully pays for a sack with two coppers and then rushes back to get a room.  Sometimes you just had to be alone.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 518):

How many persons can we reasonable fit in a room? Also, how many of these coppers equate to a silver? 20?

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 519):

coppers are $1, silver is $20, gold is $80.

rooms are charged out by occupancy; it is a silver a night for each of you.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 520):

So we need rooms for Reanna, Dne, Dilandua, Aegis and the guide. Miss anyone?

At the rate of one silver per night, Dne will be forced to move on in a decade or so.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 522):

Reanna will take the $380 owed to her from the cash and pay the inn with copper.

OOC:  At $20 per person (Reanna, Dilandua, Aegis, Dne, Alice, Guillaume, and horse stabling) that's $140.  Just over half a pound of copper coins...

In reply to Dilandua (msg # 524):

Horse stabling? We did not get a price on that...Alice and Guillaume; one guide and who is the other?

$140 paid for out of coppers...

In this case the standard genre convention/ease of GM workload trick of "treat animals like people and multiply/divide costs by SM" actually works out to be rather accurate.  Also a horse stabling costs 150$ per week as per DF 16 pg 19, which is the same for people's CoL per week, so I figure it stood to reason that 'daily' CoL for a horse would be identical.

If you want a 'more accurate' breakdown, I reference SE Mortimer's excellent "Horse Sense" article out of Pyramid series 2 (here: http://www.sjgames.com/pyramid/sample.html/?id=4776 ) which has a horse's long term stabling costing $10 per day, so a short term stabling should just about double that.  ;)


Alice is our abolitionist Healer.  Guillaume is our Guide.  Alice signed on for a share, Guillaume was prepaid a daily rate for one week.

In reply to Dilandua (msg # 526):

Right. So accommodation paid for, Reanna will get ready to rest for the night. She will have one of the meals now too, and ask for a very early breakfast for all of them. They have a long way to go tomorrow...

Dne lets the others worry about the horses, and heads to his room as soon as he can.  He wants to be alone with all that bird seed.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 528):

Guillaume and Aegis split a bottle of Hubert's house wine, which is actually not too bad, and as the others are eating, the guardsman comes to join them for a round.

A carousing roll please, and an additionalsilver needs be spent.

In reply to Guillaume the Guide (msg # 529):

Reanna has had her meal and retired to her room by this time...

Dilandua purchases Aegis and Guillaume the wine, but partakes minimally noting the morning will be an early one.  Though the warrior does remain to keep an eye on them and take in the other patrons...




OOC:  20:29, Today: Dilandua rolled 6 using 3d6.  Carousing 12.

Did you think a Chi-warrior Swishypokler wouldn't have Carousing?  Sometimes wining and dining is the easiest way to a mark's assassination..

1 silver spent.

In reply to Dilandua (msg # 531):

Morning comes.
Aegis make a HT roll.

Are you continuing with the guide, or are his services no longer needed?

OOC:  We paid for a week, my recommendation: We bring him and have him tend camp while we set up the ambush just down the road.  Just far enough he can't interfere or get caught up in it.

In reply to Dilandua (msg # 533):

Reanna likes Dilandua's idea. She has breakfast and gets ready to leave, with the horse.

Morning finds Dne passed out on the floor.  There is bird seed on him, on the floor, even on the bed he never climbed onto.  Hell, by means of an unidentified sticky substance, there is even bird seed on the ceiling.  The rest of the room has been thoroughly trashed.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 535):

Reanna will enter the room when Dne does not appear, kicking him awake and looking in disgust at the rest of the room...

Dilandua had gotten up early and had already spent time in meditation.  It was "chi alignment day", which takes far less time than exercises.





OOC:  00:00, Today: Dilandua rolled 1 using 1d6.  Chi Rituals, 1dhrs.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 535):

Hubert shakes his head.
"That'll be an extra silver for the mess. Damn Kenku!"

Aegis comes out of his room the same grumpy, angry, cynical soldier that he was when he went in.  If anything, the almost imperceptible relaxation he experienced from the 'services' of a lady were offset by the hangover he was carrying.  In other words, he was just as gruff and cantankerous as usual, although his words were harder to understand than usual.

He's ready to go and all business, regardless of what shape he was in.

[Private to GM: He made the Carousing roll and then the HT roll as well.
18:31, Today: Secret Roll: Aegis rolled 10 using 3d6.  Aegis HT 12.
18:31, Today: Secret Roll: Aegis rolled 10 using 3d6.  Aegis Carousing 11.]

In reply to Narrator (msg # 538):

"He can either clean it up or pay for it himself..." Reanna says flatly...though if it will delay them, she will pay and take it out of his share, to be sure.

Dne apologizes to Reanna for reflexively sitting up and threatening to electrocute her and her ‘entire species’ after she kicked him awake, and explains he’d been enjoying a seed-fueled nightmare in which he had been hired to exterminate half of the world.

Then he kicks in the extra silver and heads down for a conventional breakfast.
