Mr. Whetstone:
In reply to Kozibi Januson (msg # 189):
Lief, each of the pirate gentlemen is wearing a suit of rather shoddy looking leather. None of them Gnome sized. Red kerchiefs on their head. Boots. Nothing special.
An easy enough fix, Lief would grab up the leather [and the pants] from the bandit breya stripped, as well as from the unconcious bandit, another 2 cross bows, three stabby daggers, and one of the cutlasses. There was a lot of bolts, he'd probably take a hold of about 125 bolts and if they are metal tipped then only the bolt head off of another 100 bolts.
Setting to work with this, he will cut down breyas' bandit's leather to something more gnome sized before then making leather cordage with those cut offs and turning the other leather into strips and carefully preserving any of its stitching. Intent to make a makeshift backpack from leather cord and the pants.
He will then reinforce the shody, now gnome sized, leather to have a decent piece.
