Wanted to put it more to a Format

Yup. My mental image is poor Sam from the LotR movies: weighted down by random stuff. So, I'm trying to figure out what the Belas have and what would be appropriate. They're used to car camping (or Pegasus camping) and so they don't have equipment optimized for cross-country hiking, like filed-down toothbrushes.

tbh, that might be Maghrl, he has a ton of pockets and bags, and can use the Force to improve his fortitude during the trip

Happy to cut whatever is needed, I was thinking a dimensionally transcendental box for it all so it could be much lighter when all loaded up but I can drop that if thats too much.

And as for food, Drova doesn't have any food that he'd specifically need (Although alcohol is a no-go for Pyersai in sizable amounts, Pyersai can get drunk on a sip, more can kill them), though he can carry any amount of stuff required, within his limits.

I think your stuff is the last to add. Might want to look over the lists to see if there's anything else needed, dear Samwise.

I've added Cer's pony listing as well. Ah, AD&D memories. One pony carries four faggots. We actually had a player waaaaay back in the day that mistook this for "four gay men", and got pissed off when those presumed NPCs didn't lift a hand to fight for the adventure party. That's not to be confused with the player that mistook capons for crampons and stuffed several "sets" into his trouser pockets.

Meh. viewtopic.php?p=27514003#p27514003 for the lists.

Peeps: let me know if you add to your stuff now that I've recorded your character's provisions. Some of your characters aren't carrying any food at all, which means they'll have to rely upon the supply pony... nasty stuff, that.

Well, Drova really doesn't have any food to carry unless he raids the dining room.

That fits his princely upbringing. Why would he consider food? Servants would have packed it, back home.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Eowyn. You want me to enumerate all the stuff the Belas are putting on the one pony?

Let me dash off a short post to try to establish some details and options.

IC fact check: Char!Prim suggested using jeeps to make the journey. My guess, based on the descriptions the Woolly Bowl players got is that it wouldn't even fit down the paths to the Garden of Shadows. Sandy would know that, and I'm writing my post to reflect that. If it would fit, I'll edit the post when I get back from dinner.

The reason I put the qualfiiers if someone else asks him to carry more is that Maghrl is used to traveling alone, more or less. He's a knight, who tend to live and work on their own unless they have a padawan or the jedi give them a mission needing it.

Plus in Star wars food isn't much of an issue, most places. I'd guess he'd not be used to going hungry more or less, so he packs light in terms of food. more snacks than proper meals.

Thanks. Minerva wouldn't know about the pathways. Klaus might, since he's into everything, but it makes more sense for a Sheepquest participant to advise. Sadly... no Jeeps beyond the village.

Post up. It's a bit clumsy, but it'll do. Depending on what answers Sandy gets, his milage equipment may vary.

Posts incoming.

There are way too many responses running through my head to give any of them any worthy articulation.

I figured there was a reason not to take vehicles nut I figured I'd ask anyway.

Mmm, now I'm also wondering if it would be sensible for Bran to take his helicopter up, and scout out a general path to take on the quest. He wouldn't go very far, but the chopper would give him quite the view for miles around.

One day, I'll be standing before my squad and look out to the battlefield...and I will say "Alone we are but sticks, but together we form the mightiest of faggots!"

You the man now, dog.

You'd miss out on Ascalon, but I also think Cer wants to keep the Varg story a bit more adventuring than easy-fix-with-tech. That's why they gots a map!



I've broken up the groups. This will give players not interested/part of Varg a chance to have their characters voice ideas. The Varg peeps can sort stuff in the dining room without being interrupted by questions about the Fae or training volunteers.

Bran... we can do a quick collab before others finally settle into the rec room, if you want.

Agy... Minerva would like to sort the Opa thing. That could be a collab as well, unless you're okay with handwavium "they whispered quietly in the corner and came up with a solution" stuff?

Ched... the list is basically the same as the one in the tracker box. Just names and roles, and a note that Ogoti is taking care of their horse/pony needs. Marcus will have more info about the ponies.

Oh, should I hold off posting for Maghrl to head to the rec room until the marcus/drova collab is done? Just checking before I get started and such.

Swith Witherward wrote:Bran... we can do a quick collab before others finally settle into the rec room, if you want.

Oh, I just posted as normal, but we can collab the rest. I'll be up for it tomorrow night (No work or anything)

And I'll post for Yuna tomorrow as well.
