Virgilio Hohlfeld:
OOC: I have no objection to leather, but I'd certainly like to have *something*.  Not likely to slow me down as much as being dead...

OOC:  Take your pick between Cheap Light CLoth, DR 1, 18lbs*; decent Red Cloak's "Gambeson" (aka Light Cloth), DR 1, 18lbs*; Segmented Plate Chest piece, gloves, and helm, DR 3, 22.4lbs; and Brigandine, DR 5, 60lbs*... and probably Red Cloak Heavy Leather Boots, DR 2, 5,2lbs  (probably, they should have had some, though they might have had Light Cloth boots for all I know, boots weren't listed).

And the charts if you wnat to swap pieces around or ditch helm and gloves, etc:

OOC: weight is a significant issue here, too, for a skinny mage who doesn't spend all his free time in the gym/hauling bales/digging and lifting rocks/etc.  I'm already at Medium just from carrying a bedroll, tent, and waterskin, plus the crossbow and full quiver.  And since I'm on foot...

I think for that consideration, much as I'd like that breastplate or brigandine for protection, I'll go with the cheap light cloth (to avoid too much Guild marked stuff), and a pair of the boots.

DX-1 due to poor fit, says the boss?  I can live with that until I can replace it or get it fitted.

Dne relaxes as he watches all of the loading and sorting.  It makes him think of fat, juicy worms coming to the surface after a storm, for some reason.

Virgilio makes a mental note of the leaves Guillaume warned Reanna off of (for all the good it'll do him).

"Something dangerous, do you suppose?"

Virgilio freezes, then looks carefully at all the leaves around him before skirting wide to avoid the indicated leaf triplets.

"That's worse -- danger passes quickly, it seems."

"Oh, sensible idea, if you can get away with it -- seems I've seen alchemists making something they call 'itching powder', perhaps this is a important ingredient.

"If you can just cut some loose from the bush, I can use magic to manipulate them into a bag without touching them."

Dne heads up ten meters and takes a quick look around.  If he spots anyone, he comes down again before he can be seen.

Guillaume the Guide:

OOC:  Ahhh... bossmang, there is no Herbary skill and Herb Lore already allows for making herbal poisons (so she shouldn't need Poisons unless she's trying to manufacture a weapon poison, I don't think Herb Lore allows that, ironically Alchemy does though).  Poison skill also doesn't allow for harvesting toxins from plants (just animals and then the creation and use of poisons if you have the ingredients)... but that might be an oversight in the skill write up (or it's based on poisoners skills, which is milking venom and harvesting poisons/toxins from animals).  And lastly... Alchemy doesn't allow for the harvesting of anything.

Narrator:

OOC:  Wild, Kromm completely reversed it in DFRPG, in Basic it doesn't mention milking or extracting from animals, only plants; in DFRPG it mentions milking from animals but not harvesting from plants.
I'ma punch Sean in the jimmy if I ever met him in the really reals...  ;)

So is it Herb Lore or Poisons, or are both skill rolls needed?

Reanna will prepare some water to wash afterwards and don her silk gloves in order to try to pick some, keeping it well away from her body! Once she has picked some, she will pile it up in a small pile and wash her gloves...

[Private to GM: What is the poisons roll for? Rolled 2 over...]

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 372):

poisons would let you know,for example, that water alone (as opposed to essential water or a Clean spell) will not defend against this, heavily salted water or water with Soda Ash (an alchemical substance) would be needed.
the poisons skill is for safe handling, and in this case, for preparation- I am adding this back into poisons skill, although Herb lore would be able to not only have this info, but an antidote as well (another herb)

Ok, so unless otherwise advised, she will do as she posted above, since she failed her poison roll.
