After some thinking and considering of the size and shape of your spidery friend, as well as the configuration of the cart, you come to the conclusion that the best method of combining the two would be similar to that used on a plow. Rather than  try to stick your spider between two rods, you can use a single wooden extension that harnesses to a lowered pull harness. It won't be as manuverable or responsive as a standard setup, and backing up won't be possible, but it will function just fine for pulling a cart.






So I've noticed we've got a lot of quiet people around here. Do I need to start holding hands and telling you what to do? Because I don't want you to just sit here because you feel not up to the task of planning your trip.

"Marcus is not worried! Armor and shield will protect from glass rain."

"I don't have a shield! What am I supposed to do?"

"Suddenly I realize why having no money is a terrible thing."

"Is good lesson to learn! Perhaps a bit delayed."

Meet up with marcus and talk about the dangers.

"You know, those flying things sound like wraithwings, although those just rip you to shreds and eat the pieces, as they aren't big enough to carry people off whole.  We're probably going to want a tent, and we should bring some extra torches, as we may have to move at night.

Purchase a cart, attempt to negotiate a good price for it.  Buy a metal tent, and anything needed to secure it to the ground (such as a rock hammer or pitons or such), although I'm thinking we may want to put it up like a covered wagon, and three spare torches.  Also include a jack or a lift to prop up the wagon corner, and a spare wheel.  If there is leftover money, buy two wax candles, preferrably in white, and up to two cheap poles or rods.

Oh, and ask bill if he can unsummon and resummon his creatures temporarily, or if we need an extra cover for them?

I'm running out of time this morning to post so we're gonna assume two things

1. the harness gets made for 2 silver.
2. The cart gets bought for 8 silver, metal tent for 1 silver (along with securing stuff), and 3 torches for 30 copper. Jack for 1 silver and spare wheel for 1 silver. Wax candles and rods are 20 copper.

Assuming these prices are able to be paid and acceptable, I think you're ready. Unless you have more to buy.

(Rules say no.  Supplies drained me of cash, so you'll probably have to buy the other tent.  I'd assume you can do so without a roll, so if you'd like one, just take the money out and I'll add it to the cart supplies.)

30 days of food for six people
jack
spare wheel
metal tent
three torches
two metal rods
harness for spider

I think purchases are done, except bill might want another metal tarp for the summons, so..

Lets head out.  I say we head in for three day's travel to begin with, as we should be able to carry enough to walk out should some disaster happen.  Lets stay off the crests except to plan out the paths to make it slightly less obvious where we are, but out of the bottom of valleys to avoid the flash floods, and to leave us closer to high ground should we need it.

(Overall plan I was thinking of setting up a camp and exploring out from there, but with the flying creatures and flash floods, we probably shouldn't leave unattended supplies around.  I'm also thinking about what they're doing, which is releasing children to walk back to the cathedral, while staying out of range of any travellers.  Three days should be far enough for that.  I don't have a solid plan overall, though, and am not sure if we should search the parts closer to the cathedral, or go deep in.  Any ideas?)

((Can I unsummon and resummon  my creatures, or do I need some tarp/tents for them?

As Said above me, no. Grimoires are one shot summons; you can bring them out and keep them around but once they die or are desummoned, you can't resummon them. Otherwise they're too powerful. And they're already very powerful.

Yeah, you can get one big enough. More of a big metal sheet on metal poles that you can set up to hide under, but it's effective.
