The capital cool. Thomas do you want to buy anything or not.
TO ALL WHO HAVE YET TO MAKE A LIST. I NEED THEM TO TELL ME IF YOU HAVE BROUGHT ANY EXTRA SUPPLIES. IF YOU DON'T MAKE ONE YOU WILL HAVE NO EXTRA SUPPLIES AND I MAY GET YOUR EQUIPMENT WRONG YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. THIS IS THE LAST CALL.

The shopkeeper absentmindedly chewed on the coin I gave him, testing its metal content. “A lot of supplies you have there.”
“Yes,” I replied, “I am going in the forest for a mission.”
“The forest, eh? Strange stuff happens in the forest. And that’s not even mentioning that dragon wandering around somewhere in there.”
“It’s fine, my job is dealing with ‘strange stuff.’ Some hunters requested my presence. I heard there’s a hunting lodge somewhere nearby. I’m going there to get the details of the mission.”
The shopkeeper suddenly looked worried. “Oh my, haven’t you heard? The members of that lodge were wiped out during the battle.”
“Oh.” That’s all I could think of to say as I automatically picked up my purchases and walked out of the store. Having your employers all die before you got paid generally wasn’t how you made enough money to survive. But there wasn’t really anything I could do about it. I had already made the trip from the capital specifically for this mission. I might as well go to the lodge, perhaps some old codger survived, preferably some old codger who knew where the hunters kept the reward they had promised me.
Of course, this could just be me being stubborn and refusing to give up, but as Master Ren said, “Sometimes stubbornness is the greatest virtue.” He also said “And sometimes it kills you,” but I preferred not to think about that.

20 GP (starting)+10 GP (empty armor slot) + 10 GP (empty armor slot) =40 GP (4000 sari)

Hakara decides to begin surveying his local areas for corpses (while practicing his magic- Illusions on the locals to prevent them interfering).

No staff then? I surpose you did leave the Magi Order but most of the time they let you take your staff with you. Exlies are given ten day's rations and their staff thats it but your choice. Could you maybe work out how much gold you have if not then I will do it with a cal but if you could it would be helpful. Now everyone's sorted I will start an update tomorrow. Lord Joamin I need to know where you want to start off and anyone who hasn't said where they want to go needs to say. Finally could you please confirm your groups. Thanks.

-The weapons and armor are Lathorn standard
-Map is of the area between Lathorn and Avalon

Right just need Charles Li. NWAG I gave you stuff made in Larthorn. Larthorn has no standand equipment, the militia use what they feel like and are good with. If you want explanations just ask.

Practice always makes permanent not perfect. You could in theroy summon food or even make it from the matter around you but it would always take more energy to make the food than the food could provide. So buy some more food or prepare to hunt and forage.

Er- can I get the results for what Hakara's doing?

Hakara sees 4 orc corpses that the militia missed and failed to put on a pyre. Your illusions are very weak and several villagers carry on regaurdless. Luckly for you they just think you are remembering the battle not looking for bodies to snatch.

Update 1- The Parting
The battle has been won. Enzor has not returned all the orcs are dead or routed and two of our hardy adventurers have recovered from their misshaps. The village is slowly being rebuilt and is recovering. An elven convoy of soldiers and craftmens are on their way to help the village as are the villagers who fled before the battle. But still they long for adventure and the spell which brought them here has gone, Dalius released the travellers after much debate with Thomas, the Old Magi will have to win or lose their war some other way. The other adventurers get all the supplies they need together and prepare to set off. Oni is travelling alone to the Hunters' Lodge to see if he can find one of the hunters who wished to hire him. Aiken, Thomas and Khyrdin are just setting off on the month long (four weeks) jouney to the capital of Larthorn, the City of Trees or to the elves Tashalan (High City). Meanwhile a strange man has been seen near the village. Who is he and what does he want?
OOC: Charles and Lord_Joamin will be mentioned when they return, for Charles or tell me where they want to start off and post their racial modifers in the form I asked for (Lord_Joamin).

Do you mean you tail the man I metioned in the update because if you do that would mean you are tailing NWAG's character or are you tailing someone else?
