Personal to Alisandra:

• silvered rapier - 125 gp
• silvered crossbow bolts (x10) - 100 gp 5 sp

Total of Alisandra's gear = 225 gp 5 sp

Group gear (mostly stored in the cottage, except the antitoxins, which would be kept on each person):

• antitoxin (x7) - 350 gp
• climber's kits (x7) - 175 gp
• miner's picks (x3) - 6 gp
• shovels (x7) - 14 gp
• dried rations (210 PC days' worth) - 105 gp
• hogshead (250 L) barrels of fresh water (we'll inspect the water) (x3) - guessing an empty barrel's about 10 gp, so 30 gp
• torches (x300) - 3 gp
• tinderbox (x10) - 5 gp

Total of group gear = 688 gp

The rations and water are both 30 days of food and drink for a 7-person group, in case we get into a part of the Underdark where we cannot forage/buy/hunt food. The torches are only about 12-1/2 days' light, but many characters (e.g., me) can make light.

There are eight people in the party, not seven.

Is Snagger still a member? I thought he was departing and not going down again?

If 8 people, then:

• antitoxin (x8) - 400 gp
• climber's kits (x8) - 200 gp
• miner's picks (x4) - 8 gp
• shovels (x8) - 16 gp
• dried rations (240 PC days' worth) - 120 gp
• hogshead (250 L) barrels of fresh water x4 - 40 gp
• torches (x400) - 4 gp
• tinderbox (x12) - 6 gp

Total of group gear for 8 persons: 794 gp

Got it. I subtracted the costs from the group fund. Rissa, are you keeping track of the supplies in the cottage?

Snagger's still with you. It was Heldig who left.

While you're getting ready, you should update your default shifts for keeping watch while resting and your default marching order. Here's what we have without Heldig:

First Shift: Lucien & Rissa & Lorrain
Second Shift: Lucien & Lorrain
Third Shift: Lathan & Snagger
Fourth Shift: Lathan & Jinx & Alisandra

Marching order:
1st:  Lathan/Alisandra
2nd:  Snagger
3rd:  Rissa/Lorrain
4th:  Lucien/Jinx

Let me know where you want to put Sylviel in each, and let me know if you want to make any other adjustments.

My 2 coppers on marching order:

Despite wearing a breastplate, Alisandra excels at "front of the party sneaking" roles. Perception +8, Stealth +9, Sleight of Hand +6 (but she is not proficient in thieves' tools). Leaving her in front makes sense. She also has the Alert feat, which means she cannot be surprised if she's conscious and she tends to go early in the initiative order (+9 to Init roll). She can spot traps but because she lacks the tool proficiency, she can't disarm them.

Makes sense, Sylviel is basically served best as a second liner in terms of marching order. Low dex means she's slower on the initiative reaction but can hit rather hard as one might suspect of paladins.

I'm going to stay where I'm at I think. Alisandra and I overlap in terms of skillsets, but I'm primarily ranged. I'll keep sneaking ahead when necessary.

I hadn't thought of silvering weapons, but it's a good idea. Can I also get my gear silvered (I'll use my existing stock)?

• Silvered rapier
• Silvered arrows (x20)

I had not been, but I can start if you'd like?

I'd like to have commissioned a bejeweled bracer with the image of a dragon engraved on it, worth at least 500 gp, as well as a ring with a 50gp diamond in it that, if it's alright with the group?

Rissa belongs in the middle, she can see farther than most of you in the dark but she's got shit perception, HP, AC and stealth.

In reply to Rissa Twiceborn (msg # 54):

For the record, I have a record of all the stuff that I stored in the hut and of the money. I would prefer to just get a sum of how much we spend from the group pool at the end. So far I only subtracted the supplies I personally bought (not the silvered weapons) from the money I had on me.

If the only other stuff we want in there for now is Alisandra's stuff then I can just track everything? Or maybe we can make a thread for it?

If the group is okay with me spending 500g on an item that I won't use for 7 more levels, I'm more than happy to track it!

In regards to marching order and watches, I am alright with what we currently have. Also, Rissa, I don't mind you spending the money. I have not been able to work out which scrolls I would have scribed yet but will correct this this week. Work has been rather busy (thank you cold weather and working in a hospital...not a nurse or doctor though), my teen has been...a teen and I have some weird allergic reaction to a shampoo I used and now have a rash all over...Benadryl has been my best friend. I feel like I keep coming up with excuses as to why I didn't do as I should have. Well...on to catching up with everything! :)

Sylviel, I added you to the second rank in the marching order; what shift do you want for keeping watch while resting?

First Shift: Lucien & Rissa & Lorrain
Second Shift: Lucien & Lorrain
Third Shift: Lathan & Snagger
Fourth Shift: Lathan & Jinx & Alisandra

Marching order:
1st:  Lathan/Alisandra
2nd:  Snagger/Sylviel
3rd:  Rissa/Lorrain
4th:  Lucien/Jinx

If Lucien is keeping track of everything already, he can continue to do so, unless he prefers to pass it on to someone else.

Lucien, if you're willing to wait in Milborne for a couple more days, you can get your weapons silvered.

Rissa, you can commission those pieces, but it will be quite some time before they are ready, which I don't suspect is a concern of yours.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 58):

I'll keep tracking items in the hut then (EDIT: I have added Alissandra's purchases except for the antitoxins). I just noticed that you said you're tracking the group fund. Should I delete what I have on my character sheet as far as the group fund?

I will also wait in Milborne to get my gear silvered. Jinx and Lathan can go back without me if they want.

A-ok with you spending the money Rissa. Frankly I think we need reasons not to spend money at this point.

Lucien, the entire party is currently in Milborne. I meant that you will need to wait in Milborne for a couple more days before heading back underground.

Sorry, I meant to say Thurmaster, but yes got it.

I think we may as well stay together.  I don't think Jinx has more reason to return to Millborne than she has to wait in Thurmaster.
@Lucien: I don't really think that silvering weapons would be useful for Jinx but I am open to any suggestion for good us of time and resources while we are there.

I don't think it's worth Jinx trying to make money by selling acid flasks or the like.  I think we have enough money.

@DM: can I buy a few vials or even better non-breakable containers somewhere?

Yes, Jinx; let me know what you want to buy exactly. And if you're staying in Milborne for two more days, you should have time to visit Kuiper's farm again.

So...Lorrain would have ended up spending 100 gp and would have scribed 2 scrolls of Detect Magic and 2 scrolls of Comprehend Languages. I would have loved to do a couple Dispel Magic but didn't have the time to achieve that. Catching up on posts now if my Surface will behave...(it's dying a slow death lol).

Let me know what everyone is going to do during the next two days while you're waiting for the blacksmiths to finish your items. I'd like to move things along soon.

Trying to make Elixirs of Darkvision!

Probably training and trying to learn undercommon to some extent as opportunity presents.

Taking Jinx' suggestion to stop back by Kuiper's.

Lorrain would offer to help Sylviel with Undercommon.

After hearing that the old man is once again being sketchy, she will plan on setting up a blind to observe him, and if he leaves the house, to take a gander at what he's hiding.

Edit: Sorry, and of course, use a short rest in there somewhere to get the ring attuned.
