reduced stress is always a good thing

Yeah, that seems to sum it up for me okay I think.

Jon and Ariadne, gimmee a shopping list of what you need so I can decide if any of it will be hard to get or if it'll all be easy to get

We need silver !!! and wolfsbane

Jon and Ariadne, what else?

Crossbows and ammo, robes and other Disguise clothes.
We need at least two wagons for a convincing caravan, and a few empty boxes for cargo

Ari has the right of it.
We will also need a guide and driver for the second wagon

How many soldiers did we bring?  Perhaps they could do it?

--silver: This can be done. But what form? Daggers? Arrowheads? Both? More? Other?

--wolfsbane: harder. We'll come back to this.

--Crossbows and ammo, robes and other Disguise clothes: pretty easy to get.

--at least two wagons for a convincing caravan: yes, not very hard. Yes, your soldiers can play drivers.

--a few empty boxes for cargo: super easy.

--A guide: yes, but we'll come back to this.


First, though: anything else?

Silver, probable a few daggers and crossbow bolts or arrows (which ever is more common for the Guardsman).

I can't think of anything.

I forget, what were the possible bad guys?  Were we worried about lycanthropes?

The Weir which (are pretty much similar to Lycantrhopes though it is more a race then a disease I think.
Corwin, Random and Dierdre fought them.

You can get most of your stuff, no problem.

Ariadne, Jon, one of you make a CHR roll for me (just one of you)

20:01, Today: Ariadne rolled 5 using 2d6 with rolls of 1,4.  Charisma roll . – 5

Ouch.

--silver: You get one silver dagger and a dozen arrows with silver arrowheads. Everyone in this Shadow wants to keep what silver they've got for the same sorts of reasons you want it.

--wolfsbane: you don't get any.

--Crossbows and ammo: your soldiers are already fine for this kind of stuff.

--robes and other Disguise clothes: yes, you get all you need of this stuff.

--at least two wagons for a convincing caravan: Yes, you get these fine. Your soldiers can play drivers just fine in their new "we're just merchants from the next Shadow over" disguise-clothes.

--a few empty boxes for cargo: you bet.

--A guide: yes, a guy in his mid-twenties, but he's clearly very nervous and skittish about this little mission...

Looks like some very pleasant role-playing going on.

So, a night of light casual drinking in Beccaro (or whatever I named this Shadow with the huge mountain).

I don't have anything planned... I can help role-play the evening a little, though... I have one small idea for interaction...

Do we want to bar-crawl, or just go one place and stop after that?

Bar brawls have always been fun in movies !

Bar-CRAWL, Jade, CRAWL! (It means to visit more than one bar during the course of the evening!)

I mean I'm sure y'all are talented enough to TURN any visit into a bar brawl if you really wanted... ...But would Random say...?!?

I'm in disguise points at cheesy fake mustache.

Is it my turn? It's not, is it? Or is it?

No-- I asked questions (here) and I don't think they were answered?

I think we're ready

Do we want to bar-crawl, or just go one place and stop after that?

I'm okay with a crawl, but I'll defer to the others.  Ariadne isn't planning on getting really drunk (though, in a bar crawl, plans can occasionally go awry)

Jade just wants to have fun before their dangerous mission.

One vote tentatively leaning toward crawl, one abstention.

Jon?
