“Outstanding! I would hate to get rusty with my ability to handle animals, so this will be a nice way for me to stay up to par while we traverse these lands,” Mykael states.
Out of Character: I will work with Patoot each evening after we setup camp. It states that combat training a riding animal takes three weeks and requires a DC 20 Handle Animal check. I will attempt it now and hope for the best!
Oleg takes a few measurements of the horse before you leave and says the barding may take 6 to 8 days for the order to come in, so it's due by the 20th. It's much better to explore for a few days and return.
Chain Shirt Barding: 400
Bit and Bridle: 2
Military Saddle: 20
Feed x5: 0.25
Cure Light Wounds Potion x2: 100
Total: 522.25 gold pieces
The month's rooms set Archival back 31 gold and Kesten would probably set them to work for a 8 hours every day, so they could pay their own fine in a few years. But, of course, they can't be trusted with coin, so it will just be recorded for now.
In Character: Zork is really happy as he turns over his coins to Oleg. "You have provided me with good things here but I think I lack one last thing if you can tell me the price. I need a good composite bow so I can use my strength into it along with any accompanying arrows. Have you that, if so can you tell me the cost?"
Out of Character: Wait, roll for climb? We left Oleg's already?
Theaton does not try to climb the tree but he will put a pile of 5 gold coins below the mail box in plain site. He will tell talk to the tree. "I am hope that you have a blessed day and honor my offering." He will then walk away and remount to continue the exploration and mapping.
Mykael also places five gold pieces at the base of the tree, certain that he would be unable to effectively climb to the box weighed down by his armor. Mykael asks the fey to honor his offering in the hopes that they will cease their pranks.
Archival and Caelum remain mounted while Mykael and Zork place their diplomatic offerings. Upon completion, Archival states, "Alright then, let us continue on our quest to explore and map this locale! Mayhap we will find something of value to assist Mykael and myself in paying for the room and board of Burke and Piter as they are rehabilitated."
Before leaving, Oleg had brought Zork into the storeroom to try the collection of composite bows both long and short in length. Zork found many to have a very short draw and had to contain his strength to avoid breaking a few. There was even one shortbow he couldn't draw all the way. Zork can choose between a composite longbow (+3) for 400 gold or a composite shortbow (+3) for 300.
Out of Character: The party did leave Oleg's. Nobody else seemed willing to purchase things. And I promise to not attack your horse until you get the barding
