OK, so I can comment now, right?

NOOOO!

Did you not read me specifically state that you can-
Oh.
Right.

Just to make sure, the Zip Shot ability makes my bolts fly faster, right?

Yup!

And, uh... what is a "Welken"?

A rigid little goblin-ogre beasty thing with rough red skin and yellow eyes.
It bathes in lava regularly and they are historically short temptered.

Anyways...
Time for the first scenario!
----------------------------------------------
MAP OF THE TOWN:

You all start on the "starting star"!

In a bustling trading town, a wrinkly old man with a large brown hat and a trench coat that covers every part of his body bar his face stands in the town circle nearest to the Tomb. He has white hair that goes down to his chest, and he trembles terribly all the time.
The first to walk to and stand before him is Zuko, the demon in disguise.
His voice is deep and smooth.
"Are you "The Contractor"?" He asks, to which the old man replies:
"Correct!" In a surprisingly booming voice. "Yet you are not the only one who shall stand before me! I'll discuss our activities when everyone has arrived!"
Zuko stands their in the morning sun, when a surprisingly attractive women arrives, and asks the old man.
"You're the contractor?" to which his reply is the same, seemingly rehearsed;
"Correct! Yet you are not the only one who shall stand before me! I'll discuss our activities when everyone has arrived!"
The women asks "Who else must arrive?"

Zuko is too busy flipping through his pick-up line book planning his conversation with this women while they wait for the others to hear the old man mention one of the people they're waiting for is a child and that the newest arrival was the only female.

The Old Man commands Kairy "Wait by the demon, we're in no hurry."

As Kairy walks over to the demon, she feels his demonic charm take affect, but not by much. Zuko greets her with a flirt from his book;
"Hey, I'm looking for treasure, may I look around your chest?"
Kairy stops dead in her tracks, looks him dead in the eye and says
"I'm not going to dignify that with a response, and I suggest you keep those.... phrases to yourself from now on. My name is Kairy, that is all."
Offended slightly, Zuko takes a small step back and says, "Sorry, I'm Zuko."

Soon afterward, walking together is a paladin and a young boy. Both approach the man while the paladin asks "You're the noble contractor, sir?"
The old man's reply changes to accommodate both the arrivals;
"Correct! Yet the two of you aren't the last, the last will arrive shortly, in the meantime, introduce yourselves to those two!"

Zuko frowns slightly, as he was not expecting a young boy to be accompanying them.
He rather dislikes children in general, yet this boy seems to be rather.... angelic. It's pissing him off. Kairy is unaffected, she simply introduces herself,
"I'm Kairy Qiuven."
"I'm Zuko"
The Paladin speaks; "Ah, nice to meet you two! I hope our righteous endeavor is fulfilled, yes? I am Wes! Nothing more, nothing less! See, that rhymed! I need to have introductions like thas, I am, after all, a paragon of righteousness, and in this tomb I shall slay-"
The Contractor interrupts, "That's quite enough Wes, the last one arrives!"
As he says this, a half-elf walks to the contractor and asks "You're the contractor right?"
"Correct!" Is the contractors same reply, but he continues;
"Now that we're all here, it's time for our business!"
The boy, with an angry faces, whines "I didn't get to introduce myself!"
"As have I" said the Half-elf.
The contractor simply looks at them with a smile and gestures to go on.
"I am Basyli." says the small boy "and I am Razuna"
"That it?" Questions the contractor. "Very well then. We're all here today for one reason, the Tomb! What our reasons are for entering the tomb, well, they certainly vary." he says as he glances towards Wes and Zuko. "But I tell you this. Any and all treasure you find goes to me. I know where to sell it, and that's why you need me. I will not come with you, instead I shall supply you each with 100 CEIL as for you to purchase supplies from town. After all, you all look like you could use it."
The contractor places 100 CEIL coins in each of the adventurers' hands.
"As you could no doubt tell, this is a 500 CEIL investment! I expect at least triple this amount when you exit the tomb! Maybe not exactly in CEIL..."
Zuko interrupts with "What do 'WE' get out of it?"
"You each get 10% of the total CEIL earned. I get the other half. No exceptions."
responds the contractor.

"What are we waiting for, then? The evil isn't going to slay itself! Let's head in there!" Interjects Wes, who starts walking towards the tomb.

"Only a fool goes treasure hunting unprepared! As I said, all of you search the town for supplies, and when you're all ready you shall meet up outside the tomb and enter. If you really think you can go in now, go right ahead! I won't stop you. In fact, I'll be waiting for you right here when you get back with the treasure form the tomb. Don't check with me to enter!"

With this said, the contractor turns abruptly and wobbles over to the tomb's entrance and hovers there. The 5 adventurers gather in a circle, ready to discuss their plan of action with a map of the town laid out in front of them.

What do the adventurers do to gather supplies?
