John will probably just refill the keg then walk around getting random information like types of ores, animals, plant-based food and what kind of sickness people get here due to the lack of sun.

try to get work for the day at the brewery, and see if I could purchase from anywhere a tube bent at a ~75 degree angle about 3 inches from one end, and a ~115 degree angle at the other, a sauce-pan, something to keep the pan elevated above the fire, and see if I can get a water-vapor tight lid with a hole that I could attach one end of the tube to. Thats about all I would need. put it all together, attach a water skin to the other end of the tube, and bob's your uncle. that's about what I meant when I send portable still. I recognize that several of these things may be specialty parts, namely the tube and lid, but I am willing to pay a premium for a rush job.

Interesting, though I'd need more information.  How many of these components are made out of metal?

An iron skillet exists already (5 opal, weight 3 kg).  The lid would go on the pan, correct?  Covered pans are easy, and people often want a vent in their cookingware.  I've been glossing over the "suspending a skillet over a fire" thing, assuming that you could prop it up with shale on a moment's notice.  I can make up other details so long as nothing requires materials other than metal or leather, as those are the primary resources.

All day, dude?  All day?  Remember that you have to work here if you want to earn a place to sleep at night; either that or spend money at a tavern, like it looks that Frank will be doing.

(Also, I checked inventory and you'll be over capacity with the water keg completely full.  I'll just fill it to your carrying limit.)

Welcome!  The waitlist is overfull, but I'm trying to kill people as quickly as I can . . .

Edit:  Oops!  Maroon is already claimed.  Could you pick another color?  See the existing players and waitlist.

I originally intended to do doctor work for 2/3rds of the day at minimum, with the other third being teaching frank how to heal people to some extent. Why it never happened, I dunno, but it doesn't help that I can't even keep hold of him!

any number of them, metal is preferable to most other materials. Let me think... yeah, I think just about everything could be metal, and you could use a leather ring to seal it. so sure. problem with a skillet is the lack of high walls. I'm thinking something that could hold more liquid than a skillet, more like a small cauldron than a pan. so, metal is good for just about anything, with a little bit of leather for better seals here and there. I don't want to have a huge operation, just every night I could do 1 batch of liquid. I would have to monitor it and keep it from getting above waters boiling point, while above alcohol's, but doing one batch shouldn't take that long, and I can use the campfire after everyone has cooked the food.

HugeNerdAndProudOfIt: I looked up historic ale-making, but I didn't look up historic distilleries.  If that's all it takes, then of course, I'll just wrangle some prices for you.  So that I can prep items, what exactly are you looking to make with this?

And Dustan: again, it'll be up to the dice, but it looks like you're getting a busy day either way.

Now I'll just need confirmation from John (ziizo) about doing local work to earn your bed at night vs. not.

And I'll politely assume that Overseer (FallacyofUrist) sells the carcass he's carrying before shaking hands and kissing babies.

basically, I recognize that any ale/booze I make down here will taste horrid. So, I plan to just get relatively pure alcohol, and mix it with water for a pick-me-up/pain deadener vodka style flavorless drink, and un-diluted alcohol for disinfection of wounds, that I plan to sell to Dustan in exchange for medical services.

Sure.

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

Of course that for that he leaves his stuff somewhere safe first.

Okay, that makes plenty of sense.  I have some content prepared about the ale, of course; and if you're looking to get your hands on some in order to concentrate the alcohol, then that sounds like a real asset to the team.  Until you die in the next scene.  But I wish to remind everyone that you are all playing on the "same save" and there is a "preserve your progress for the next people to advance" system.

Done!  I'll assume you spend no more than the morning on information-gathering.

And to everyone: Only Frank (Coolrune206) has said anything about enjoying himself while in town, so I'm going to assume that none of you take the offer to carouse in taverns at night for 5 opal.  If you don't, then you're responsible for finding your own food, so I'm assuming that you will eat the oldest preserved food in your inventory when eating today: after all this math you're going to have a surplus, and I as the GM want to keep inventories prepped for fun loot.

I also plan to gather cave lichens, mix it with a little bit of alcohol with the micro-organisms that turn cellulose into sugar and sugar into alcohol, to get some kind of disgusting cave swill.
