The room you're all in is quiet, and obviously protected by some sort of magical ward, that prevents you from being overheard easily. (It can't completely muffle all sound, but it does dampen sounds, and mix them to anyone listening.)

Harker has a large scroll case that he seems to have picked up from somewhere clutched in his right hand. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Sleep now. Navic's post tomorrow afternoon before I leave for work.

Okay Navic lays out the following three goals for you:

• Accompany the Dwarves, traveling from your Kaer to Throal. Document your journey in a journal that Minas will present you. This journal will be enchanted so that only the three of you, Navic and Minas can read it or write in it.
• Discover if the Theran's are truly demanding that Kaer's that agreed to the Rites of Passage are truly being enslaved. Proof that Navic and Minas could use to convince the people is essential here.
• Return to the Kaer safely, or the reestablished village when you have the proof, and have established relations for the Kaer with Throal, and possibly Thera.

Questions?

Nope. Everything seems straightforward at this point.

None here either. I understand what needs to be done.

Okay these are what Minas and Navic will be equipping you with:

Raynor's Map: This enchanted map adds whatever it's owner sees automatically.

Two Light Crystals: One medium soft light, and one small red light crystal.

3 Death Cheat Charms. These function just like the book says.

An ever full pot-enchanted with elemental water, this quart sized pot can produce up to 4 gallons of fresh water a day, hot or cold.

Elemental Blankets-enchanted with elemental earth and fire these blankets can warm or cool it's user.

All the equipment on your character sheet. (Your welcome!)

500 pieces of gold in a chest, sealed with a intricate lock. This is your "walking around" money, that you can use to buy supplies and goodwill.

Questions? Anything I missed that you may need, feel free to ask for-the elders will consider each request on it's merits, and what they have available.

I'll take the map, the larger light crystal and an elemental blanket. We'll let Garon lug the gold around.

Anything you need, that isn't a thread item can be provided-obviously with in reason. (There are no airships laying around for instance.)

By "tomorrow's first light," I obviously mean whatever time they spool up the big light crystal "in the morning," presuming they keep some diurnal cycle at all.

Here's my updated character sheet. I've added the padded leather armor, a backpack, a couple weeks of rations, a backpack, eating utensils, the stuff given us by the council, and the Adventurer's Kit. Most of this stuff he can just get from Stores, but the utensils and backpack he'll get from his mother.

Garon will carry the gold in the middle of his pack, stuffing the inside of the little chest so it won't rattle. He'll keep 10 gold in his belt pouch for immediate use, as well as his own 12 silver. And he'll probably spend the whole night sleeping at the door, ready to leave when the time comes.

I know animals are rare within the kaer, but does anyone have a dog they'd lend us? Garon was going to bring it up - they're useful animals when in unknown situations - but we do have a Beastmaster, so if it's going to come from someone, it might as well come from him. Is a guard dog something we'd like to have?

A dog is indeed a difficult creature to obtain, under normal circumstances, however you guys can have access to one fo the few that are trained to work guard and hunting duty. I'm unconcerned about the particular breed, but it won't be bigger than a Lab.

Had to work late last night, and was called in early this morning, so hopefully I will push this forward tomorrow gentlemen. I appreciate your patience with me.

Just to be kosher, you each have until Sunday to post anything that you do during the night, and morning before you leave-if anything.

The dwarves will light their small light crystals, which are red hued, and adjust their loads then assuming none of object they'll organize the march with you, and the female troubadour in the rear. The march tot he surface will only take a half an hour, and the walls along the way will be decorated with a variety of protective enchantments, and markings, and you'll see several disabled traps, but the dwarves will seem worried that they may have missed one.
