Eyktol Traveling Party Plotnotes

I would say that horses are definitely preferable and would speed up the time of travel, for those who are willing/can purchase one. We could then just use a wagon to carry belongings such as tents and bedrolls that don't fit on horseback.

I agree, but i'm assuming that everyone will be asked to donate some MIza to pay for supplies and such. That won't be cheap, and since for most this is purely a spiritual/educational trip there is no chance of reimbursement. Buying a horse may be more than some people want to spend.

All right guys, I'm just adding some notes on this really quick.

First of all, Mihiya has a tent and a horse. The tent is a four person tent so Kalina, Mihiya, and Ivandra can definitely stay in the tent with her, if one of the guys has a tent then we can have a boy and a girl tent...or we can mix and match, whichever, lol.

Second of all, Mihiya will be making 91 mizas at the end of the season, so I'm willing to buy the cart which will seat six people. I think we're going to want more than just the two horses we use to pull it, though for gear and such, and also for people to go out riding on if they want to stretch their legs. Ivandra, Marcus, and Mihiya all have horses (correct?) so that's good. Also, I would like it if everyone has a weapon (though I suppose the Kelvics don't need them...).

We also are gonna need food...or can we supply that via hunting (I think almost everyone has skill in that?)

I think we should be able to supply for the food with hunting since I think all of us do have skill in that. It also won't cost as much if we can hunt rather than have to purchase from caravans or traders.

Another question I have. Would we be able to make any Mizas while we're on the journey? Like, to stop and perform some temporary jobs? Because it would be helpful if we could have a consistent flow of money so we could pitch in to pay for the cost of the carriage and the two (or more) horses.

I hope you guys don't mind but I decided to put up a list of things we will need for the journey and things like that.

First, if we are going to hunt for food we should really start now because for it to last more than a couple of days you need to preserve it, and that requires certain salts and equipment.

Second, We are going to need special equipment to travel across the desert. I mean it is possible to just go for it and head for the desert but to do it safely we should buy the necessary equipment. We also will need plenty of water, as well as feed for the animals.

Third, while it is possible to pull the wagon with horses, I think we should just buy one labor animal like an Ox that ca easily handle to load alone.

Update post for everybody:

Kalina is no longer going to be coming with us.

I have added some of the needs that Marcus listed to the main post. I will be doing some more research and shortly adding on a list of things we need with associated monetary value. Which brings me to my next point in this discussion: We need to decide things like who will be making major expenditures early. By the time we gather in Riverfall in a couple months, we need to be ready to start pooling resources where necessary and everyone should know what their duties are. It will make things super smooth to RP.

In order to facilitate that, once I get our needs up in terms of mizas, lets start splitting it up and co-ordinating that.

One thing about transportation: We don't seem to have any large animal kelvics in the group, so a wagon could feasibly house them all while the humans ride- which shouldn't impose to much of a financial strain, since most of us already have horses.

Y'all can carry on as you were now.

So, after thinking about this quite a bit, and considering what I am wanting to do with this character, I have decided to back out of this quest/thing. If you guys want to use this thread for anything, go ahead, I don't mind it. Just won't be coming along. I'm still open for meeting up in Riverfall with those who are going though.

Thanks, and sorry to back out, but I figured it'd be better to do it sooner than later.
