Out of Character: Sorry, I should have clarified that the armor is for the horse as well as food, oats I believe. Stallion is fine.

In Character: Zork is delighted with his new horse. He looks over at Mykael and smirks ever once in awhile as he watches him try to control the wild ting'.

Game Master says...

Out of Character: I had the feeling thatwhat you were asking. The rulebook has them named barding and feed, for next time. Feed is really cheap but heavy, 5 copper a day but 10 lbs. Your strong horse will comfortably carry 10 days of feed (Plus equipment and rider) and can graze on wild grass.

Barding can be made like any of the normal armour types, but costs 4 times as much. So leather costs 10 gp normally, so the barding is 40 gp and provides +2 AC. Studded leather would cost 100 and chain "Shirt" 400. Then you have the medium and heavy armours, but they slow the horse's speed.

Out of Character: Thanks for the explanation.

In Character: Zork asks Oleg for chain for his horse at 400 gps along with the 50lbs of food. He is willing to wait for chain to be forged. He also inquires about healing potions and the number he can buy, possibly 2 if available. He then asks for a total.

He makes his purchases known to the rest of the party so they can know of his wait time.

Archival nods in agreement, "Speaking with a cleric on the matter is a good idea. As would be speaking with a diviner. I wonder if that cleric Jhod has any talent with this sort of thing. I will bring it up with Zork and Theaton on our way out."
----------
While watching Mykael have issues with his horse at the trading post, Archival asks Oleg, "The horse is trained for riding, yes? It just so happens I have a small talent with animals. Given some time Mykael, I could train it to carry you into combat. Ah, Oleg, I would like to pay for the first month's room and board for Burke and Piter. How much would you like? Which reminds me... How long do you gentlemen think Kesten will have them work?"
----------
When Mykael confirms the dream with Zork and Theaton, Archival speaks up, "Mykael and I were discussing this earlier. Do you gentlemen think Jhod might be useful in helping us determine what is occurring? If not, maybe contacting a diviner would prove useful. It is..." Archival searches for a proper word, "highly irregular for people to share the same dream, and I would like to know what it potentially means."
----------
"It is refreshing to see flags marking traps, sir. We have run into a number of nasty bear traps that were left unmarked," Archival states, giving the location to the hunter. "Look out for yourself and take caution if you go into that area. I am not sure if we found all of the traps. I have only hear wolves in my dreams as of late. Last night I dreamt of a bright white orb, the moon, hanging above a graveyard that stretched as far as the eye could see. There was a chorus of wolf howls and the cratered sphere turned to reveal the faint suggestion of a grinning skull. When I took a step back, I fell into an open grave." Archival recollects, stifling an involuntary shudder at the memory of dream.

Out of Character: I figured gems were a good way to carry wealth around while significantly cutting down on the weight. Each of my gems is worth 10g, taken from Pathfinder's list of "Building a Treasure Hoard" (Core, p. 400). Caelum does disappear whenever I'm unconscious, asleep, or killed.

In Character: When Zork hears about the dream he comments only, "So long as it is not an omen of fey to devour our souls I'm good." He emphasizes his new horse and the things that can be done with him.

At Oleg's, before leaving, Mykael fights with his new mount trying to get it to comply muttering a series of expletives at the beast a scene that is repeated several times throughout the day as they travel. When the party breaks for lunch Mykael slides off of the animal and walks bow legged to a nearby stump or boulder rubbing his legs and his back side. Though he is not new to riding, it has been a while since he spent any real time in the saddle. Seeing Zork smirk, Mykael lets out a slight chuckle "I don't think Patoot here and I are going to be winning any riding contests any time soon." With a grunt his sits and produces his water skin, tossing it back to take a large swig before going into his pack for rations.

Mykael intends to use his horse for travel only at this point, understanding that it is basically a riding horse rather than a war horse capable of combat. His first move if the party encounters any hostile activity will be to dismount and hopefully secure the animal if there is time so that he can fight on foot.

"My offer stands. Just know it only takes a few weeks to train a horse for combat if it has already been trained for riding. Handling animals come quite naturally to us summoners," Archival states, smiling.

Mykael would definitely take Archival up on his offer to train Patoot to eventually be capable of combat. "Thank you friend" He says "And good luck to you; I can already tell she is a stubborn one."
