"I don't know you people,
but I'm sending Gourd across the river to scout the area around the house,
And then I'm going to the forest for materials."

I would have more makerscore If I did things.

Sorry, NeverSilent, this aint yo decision now! It's down to a roll of demonic charm passive!

And he rolls a 4! Feel free to say what you like (feel free to slap him even), but you've been convinced by demonic charm to go with Zuko!

UNLESS of course the other party member disagree!
"So you're going with him?"

"I cry for humanity."

Got any Dexreth amulets?

"Listen, demon! We are allies during this mission, so we are dependent on each other. I'd hate to lose one of my allies on this quest, even moreso if he dies before we even really started the mission. I have no problem with going hunting together with you, but not because I'm interested in you - it's because I'm interested in making this mission a success. Got it?"


Edit: I actually typed up this response even before seiromem's post. I just assumed Zuko's demonic charm would work, though maybe not exactly the way he hoped...
"Well that's that I guess. Make sure guys stay safe, okay? Wes and I can go to the Mine Camp and get some ore while you two collect the moonscale. Sound like a plan?"
"I'll be waiting outside until you guys finished whatever your doing here."

I go outside the shop.

We're still inside...right?
"I'll count that as a "you may like me". So, shall we get going to the river, my precious?"

Just to make sure, Kairy and Zuko are going to the river

Wes and Bazyli are going to the Miners camp.

Razuna is entering the forest? Alrighty then!
Actually, I'm going to the forest to hunt and I'm sending Gourd to scout
the Mysterious House.

If that's alright...

So just to make sure: Wes and Bazyli go to the miners' camp to buy or scavenge for supplies and raw materials, Razuna goes foraging in the forest, and Zuko and I go to the river to murder some reptiles, right?

------------

"Alright then," I say, completely ignoring Zuko's cheap flirtation attempt. " Let's start our tasks. I suggest we meet at the shop again in two hours. If anyone hasn't returned by then, the others go looking for them. Sounds like a plan?"


Edit: Darn, ninja'ed by the DM...
"The only one I'm looking for if it gets lost is my raven,
And he won't get lost."

"But yeah, that's the plan."
That sounds about right to me, seiromem! Well except maybe Razuna but he's sorted that out.

"I like that plan. It's important not to lose anyone before our mission actually starts."

Alright, reserving this post for Turn 2!

Yes JJJ7, like a bad-ass.
A bad-ass who might get shredded by Feralls if that certain bad-ass is not careful.

-----------TURN 2-----------

With their course of action decided, our adventurers thank the shopkeeper and assure him they'll be back. The shop keeper returns through the door which he came through and you hear him yell an order to the blacksmith.

Zuko and Kairy move out to the river. Well, Zuko kinda strolls instead of marches like Kairy.
Razuna sends Gourd towards the mysterious house and heads out with We and Bazyli as they walk to the miner's camp, but he soon splits off and goes to the forest.

As Zuko and Kairy approach the lake, they see gourd fly above and over the river, casting a shadow on it which seem to cause some suspicious ripples...
"So, babe, how do you suppose we'll find these reptilian scum? Some bait?"
Zuko says nonchalantly, to which Kairy replies;
"Call me by my name, demon. Not any of those demeaning pet-names. And yes, bait seems to be the best course of action. The question is, what kind of bait?"
"In case you didn't know "Kairy" I've got a name too. Perhaps you could use that instead of "Demon", you'll ruin my disguise!"
*sigh* "Sorry, Zuko," apologize Kairy "now lets see if we can find some bait.... maybe those fishermen upstream or anybody at the docks know."
"Alright, sound reasonable. Maybe they're like pests here."

Wes and Bazyli--------------

Wes declares "Ah yes, here we arrive at the miner's camp! Quite noble, these miners, to work day and night tediously breaking rocks to make our armor! They must be very respected, yes indeed!"
As Wes states the last part, the miners all start laughing, which is abruptly cut as the taskmaster appears before Wes and Bazyli.
A rather repulsive looking creature, it's got the head of a lizard and the body of a man. He speaks in a rough tone and extends his "s" sounds.
"Whatya want you mookssss? Cantchya sssssee we're workin' here!?! Thessse lazzzy bagssss of flessssh have yet to make their quota!"

"Actually, good... sir... we'd like some mining equipment! Some ropes with hooks, shovels and some torches, if possible!"

Ah, you want ssssuppliesss DO YA?!!? Well too bad!" Shouts the taskmaster "I ain't about to let you overtake my claim at thissss rock! All thisssss ore is mine to ssssell, now beat it!"
The taskmaster spits a vile fluid into Wes' face and storms off, yelling at various miners to quit slacking and the like.
Some of the miners look at you with some sympathy, others with apathy.
One, after watching the entire thing, disappears into a tent after winking at Wes and Bazyli. Only Bazyli was able to catch that, and he informs Wes.
"Wes, that guy just winked at us, maybe he can help us?"
"Hm? What man, Bazyli? As you clearly heard we aren't allowed to buy from here. We shouldn't try and take it without permission!"

What do you do?

Razuna----------------

Razuna:
Dual Shoddy-Iron Gladius
Wimpy Leather Armor
White Raven Companion
125 CEIL
Skills Available: Power strikes, Fake Out, Dual Pierce.


Splitting off from those two bores you come to the forest's edge. You spotted a few people who seem to carry a little too much pocket change in town, but decide against it.... for now.
When you enter the woods, the birds chirp and the occasional rustling of grass produced a hare or two. With your slightly poor PERC, you spot these things to forage:
A thornbush. Maybe the long, thorny branches can be useful?
A bunch of berry bushes, some are purple, some are green, and some are rainbow!
A nest made by a medium sized White-blue bird, who's eggs look very large.
what ya do?

CURRENT POSITION:
Oh yeah,
I'm going solo, like a BADASS.

I said that...me...JJJ7...not Razuna.

Edit:
Oops...sorry about that seiromen.

Next turn! Discus and post yer actions!
"Listen Kairy, I know you didn't liked being mentally dragged here, and I'm sorry for that, but if you tried to get to know me better, you may discover that I'm not that jerk as you think..."

P.S. : Also seiromem, I liked the sketch you did in the docks of the map! :D
"Hmm, you're right, Wes. We need to get ore some way though. I think our mission is more important than being moral towards these jerks," I think before pausing to reflect on another way to convince Wes.

"Either way, it couldn't hurt to hear him out before we decide on a course of action."

Make my way into the tent that miner entered with Wes in tow. Assuming Wes joins me of course. If Wes doesn't join me I'd prefer to stay with him and explore the miner camp some more.

If this were to end badly I don't like the idea of being without some help.
*In the Forest*

"Well at least is more quiet here than with those other four."

"Those branches may work for...something...ugh...
Maybe I can get a good view of the forest from that tree over there."

I climb the biggest tree I can find.

"Zuko, I'll try to be as clear as I can: I don't care if you are a jerk or not. As long as we have to work together, what matters is that you do your job right. And right now all you're doing is waste time and energy and test my patience with your stupid nonsense. Concentrate on the task at hand!
So, let's go over to those fishermen and for some fish or junk we can use as a bait, all right?


Edit: Blast you, seiromem! Just kidding.
