[party Order] The Escort - Page 2

as jeff has left the game, I believe he can't negotiate for us anymore, so:

Raguel goes to the man and says each one wants to receive 100 coins for the job

"Mister, please take into consideration that it will be a 140 mile trip for us, and coming back without the caravan will be a lot more dangerous. Besides, providing our own supplies and equipment will require a considerable amount of money. We are willing to protect the Duke with our lives, and the life of a man is worth much more than what we're asking."

If the man doesn't accept it Raguel will keep lowering the proposal until he accepts it.

If the man wants to pay less than 85 coins Raguel will insist in this amount, so they can buy their supplies. Of course the payment should be done before their departure.

------+++------
The party decides that Heric should negotiate for them, and after they discuss how much they'll ask for the job Heric goes to the man in order to introduce the party and apply for the job.

Heric will ask for 15 coins for each member of the party, but of course will be open to negotiations and in case the man refuses the first offer, he'll then ask for 10 coins for each member.

He will state that escorting a wealthy duke can be very dangerous with so many thieves lurking in the woods, and this should be taken into consideration as they're willing to protect the duke with their lives.

Heric also wants to know how they're going to receive the money; half now and half after or all of it now. After all, they can use the money to buy more supplies before the journey.

Another question from the party that Heric will ask is whether they'll be travelling with their own horses or the duke has provided a wagon for the escort.

Heric accepts the job. "The duke will have the best escort he could get in this village."

"Right now we're going to the market to get some more supplies in order to offer a better job. We'll be ready in one hour or less. Also one member of the party will buy a horse to follow the wagon and be able to react faster in case of an attack."

-------+++------

The party decides to use this one hour to step by the market place and buy some equipment. Here's what each one wants to buy:

Alex: With his 2 coins he'll buy a cloak. He'll alsto try to sell his dagger for 6 coins and buy a hand axe instead. He'll try to sell the clothes he has bought for 1 coin and with the money he will buy a rope, 10'.

Escort Order party

Kettle decides to keep most of her possessions in her backpack, but stows the torches behind the saddle. The flint goes in her backpack. Oats and leather feedbag are packed into the saddlebags. Her leather armor, she slips over her tunic and refastens her cloak about her shoulders...

Heric double checks to make sure everything is with him and secured to his backpack.
When he is satisfied everything is secure,he jumps to the second wagon and begins to get a feel for being a teamster. "Come on,lets find our fate"Heric says with a look of excitment on his face.

Alex and LaReina also put their cloaks/armour on and get ready to leave.

-----+++-----
Positions:
LaReina in the front, with the teamster, ready to attack; Heric steering the second wagon, with his eyes and ears wide open; Alex in the second wagon with his dagger on hand, ready to attack, and Kettle riding the horse, very watchful too.

Heric asks the man "Do you know of any particular place where we should be more wary during our trip?"

[party Order] The Escort

The situation really surprises the party members. Everyone will go quiet while Alex tries to hear anything from the outside, and after that LaReina and Heric will try to push the door once more. They'll see if they can pop the hinges off to open it. LaReina will hold the torch up high so they can get the layout of the tower.

Kettle says "Light up every corner, please. Let's explore this 'mud hut on boulders' to see what's what, before we go charging off half-crazy."

She has many questions in her mind, that she hopes to get the answers to as LaReina raises the torch.

"How big is it? Is it round or are there corners? Are there any other doors?? Is there a staircase or ladder, and how high up is that hole at the top? How big is that "small" hole at the top?" - She's really curious indeed, and that's good in such a situation.

They decide that they should move in this order, while going up a ladder or anything: LaReina, Alex, Heric and Kettle.

Having in mind that their situation is not good at all, they decide that all they can do is go down through the trap door.

Alex and La Reina will get back to the first floor cautiously to avoid breaking the stairs, and the party will search under the bed, in the bed, under the table and chairs, etc. -- maybe they could find anything useful -- as well as investigating this trap door as thoroughly as two thieves can (this trap door could be hiding a real trap).

If everything is clear, they will open the trap door and go on, lighting up their way with the torch and keeping their weapons in hands.

Posting in place of agent.

Heric takes the key and puts it in a safe place."I guess through the trapdoor we go,no turnin' back now.

Holding the torch and looking at everyone LaReina shrugs and announces"I'll go down first,do'nt worry about me I can handle myself"

"Slow down Reina"kettle begins. "Use the torch to carefully light up the tunnel,and go slowly down the ladder".
--------------------------------//----------------------------//--------------------------------
We will send LaReina down nice and slow.Very aware of traps.
Heric can use another torch if nessecary.We will wait for LaReina's observation of the tunnel,then we will go down in this order.
