Since Nebrar doesn't have anyhting to work with yet, he will search for explosive ingredients, especially deposits of nitre / sulfur. For now, simple ones will do. Red-yellow flowers or spicy herbs, maybe?

[Harbingerjm]

Any preferences for Boldbold the Kobold, Oh Glorious Leader?

[Sarrak]

I can use some zombie workers to put foundations for future buildings and other manual work. Obviously, leader permission and materials are needed.

[EagleV]

Well, if you ever need rubble/ruins/dirt out of the way quickly, I'm your man. But I'm guessing that's not needed yet.

I would loosely assume breeding weasels for money will be more profitable than finding work elsewhere, and I would think getting us a bit more cash would be a good default goal.

Since you've already got your crafting station, I suppose you could also try looking for weaselfood to get yourself a better mount. I suspect that's the kind of thing you're going to need to cough up coins for to acquire in any reasonable number of turns, though.

Which is a problem because we're probably not going to be building anything until after the first dungeon. You'll probably want to just get a real job until then, unless crafting can be done without the right building for it.

I think it was stated that crafting place is severely limited for now. So, without building something... No.

Try to earn some coin for giving lectures to first year Magic Academy students.

[Harbingerjm]

Search for magical weasel herbs (that feels so strange to type).

[Nirur Torir]

Since Nebrar doesn't have anyhting to work with yet, he will search for explosive ingredients, especially deposits of nitre / sulfur.

My original plan for alchemy was combining two symbolic reagents (phoenix feather and powdered ruby would work out to a fairly powerful fire concoction) with a tier n power reagent, and an optional effect reagent (something to make it burn longer, explode bigger, or stick to the target). This would hopefully keep you powerful until the end game, and give you plenty of utility, although you would need to spend fairly significant time between dungeons just keeping yourself armed.

Is this acceptable, or do you want something that involves less symbolism?

[EagleV]

That would be great, and sounds like it leaves lots of room for experimenting with effects, which makes it even better. I'll change my action slightly.

[Nirur Torir]

Nil and Chaun begin searching the nearby town for a store selling bags. Nil leads the way into a leatherworker's shop, but the only remaining bags are very well used and full of holes. Most of the goods are in a similar state. The propritor apologizes and claims that leather imports have gotten really expensive.

They wander around, and have nearly given up hope when Chaun senses a clothworker's shop that generally caters to the upper-middle class. They have one exquisitely crafted silk bag embroidered with real gold. It looks particularly durable. Unfortunately, Nil is carrying the money.

Barthold finds a bulk supplier for food. They'll sell 50 non-perishable rations for 15g. (3g per ten pack. Not a great deal, but decent.)

Nebrar finds a patch of wild spicey peppers growing only a few minutes away from the guild hall. They won't make particularly powerful potions, but he shouldn't be in any danger of running out.

Boldbold finds a merchant selling a good range of useful supplies for exotic animals, at excellent prices.

Alice earns 2g. Marks earns 3g. Sarrak earns 4g.

Spoiler: Bag Store (click to show/hide)

Two-slot bag: 5g
Two-slot gold-embroidered silk bag: 10g

Spoiler: Exotic pet supplies (click to show/hide)

Rapid gestation herbs: 2g each
Accelerated development herbs: 16g for three, or 6g each - These will rapidly age a single young weasle into an adult. There is some risk of weakening it as opposed to letting it grow on its own. (Ages over a single battle instead of 1-2 dungeon runs.)

Ferocity incense: 7g each - Burn during breeding. Increases the chance that the babies will be inherit good genes for fighting. Inadvisable to mix with other incense.
Agility incense: 8g each - Burn during breeding. Increases the chance that the babies will be inherit good genes for moving fast. Inadvisable to mix with other incense.
Endurance incense: 7g each - Burn during breeding. Increases the chance that the babies will be inherit good genes for constitution. Inadvisable to mix with other incense.
Strength insense: 15g each, only one available - Burn during breeding. Increases the chance that the babies will gain a trait that makes them better able to carry larger loads. Inadvisable to mix with other incense.

Giant weasel treats: 3g for two - Makes training slightly easier. (Each batch lasts for one turn. They're probably not raisins.)

Shopping turn: Buy what you will, from any discovered shop. Shopping is generally a free action. Since the only pressing thing is the bag shop, I hope to have you choose the dungeon in a few hours. It would be wise to grab the Scrolls of Return out of the guild stockpile. One person may carry up to five, and may use them on others.

[RangerCado]

Buy two Weasel treats to help grow the Weasels!

[EagleV]

So, four cheap bags for maximum loot return rate?
Nebrar buys nothing for himself, but will assist in carrying bags if needed. He will also chew on a spicy pepper and offer some to his guildmates.

[IronyOwl]

Hm. Possibly, though to be perfectly honest I'd be surprised if we ended up filling more than a couple. Plus didn't Nirur say Chaun's three gold slots were loot slots? We've got 1.5 loot slots on any mission he's on anyway.

Speaking of which, I think our first mission should be all four of our level 1s. This might be a bit risky, but with scaling challenges hopefully nothing they can't handle. If successful, it'll also make everyone but our dwarf level 2, which is a great place to start, I'd say.

The other downside, of course, is that they'll be both squishy and only really able to use 2 battles for leveling purposes before returning. We'll be relying on checkpoints, so obviously that might not happen anyway, but it will probably tend to push the mission towards brief and therefore not tremendously profitable.


Finally, I still want to conserve gold. The 15g for 50 rations thing sounds like a good deal to me, since that should last us through five dungeons. We'll need 10g to operate the gate. That leaves 12g in normal guild funds, which we'd want to save in case we make less than 10g from our first run, and 25g of Chauner's, which we might still want to hold onto in case two missions go sour.

Overall, I'm fine with buying one or two bags, especially if someone specifically wants them, but I don't think a full set is a good idea, especially since a bag 50% larger would presumably only cost twice as much. If we needed that many slots, we'd probably want to go for the upgrade.

[Ochita]

I'd like to put my own character sheet up for possible recruitment once people start dropping like flies.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Ochita, Male.
Race: Human
Class: Arcane Apportationist
Advantage: Light-footed, Ochita is somewhat more careful that most when exploring,
Disadvantages: Frail constitution. Ochita suffers from a weakness to poisons and toxins, mostly due to an experience in his youth. Planar sensitive. Being an Apportionist can sometimes cause some negative effects, such as being weaker to extra-planar forces.

Starting Bonus: Improved armored robes

Guild Skill: Scribing, the art of taking known spells and putting them onto specially prepared scrolls for use by less magically inclined people.

Picture: [Not given]

Description: A man in his 30's, Ochita is of average hight for humans, at 5'10". He has short messy brown hair, blue eyes, peachy skin and otherwise unassuming facial features. He wears a blue set of robes, that obscure his body from the neck down. He's generally cheerful, and is often willing to help out other people in mundane tasks, although he is generally solitary. In battle he's completely serious, only settling back into his usual personality if the battle is completely going in the team's favour.

Backstory: Ochita grew up as a normal child, his childhood was boring and dull, except for the time he accidentally ate poison berries in a nearby forest. Afterwards, after deciding what to do with his life, he researched apporation, and became a small but respected voice on the subject. With the advent of the other plane arriving, he continually felt that his words were drowned out by the larger voices. Annoyed and vindictive, he decided to attempt to join a guild that would allow him to get a closer look at the new plane, and to hopefully produce a work that would get himself known in the mage community.

Requests: A party-wide escape from battle spell.

[Rolepgeek]

Petition Chaun for capital to begin building trade empire. Not much else to do while we wait, after all.
