It's a great honor to be groomed like this by me!

[Kashtan]

lol the honor!

a few question:
-can we find the mine easily or should we ask for directions? landscape will be altered by the snow.
-we gotta determine what to bring and leave. we assume nobody seriously considers bringing the mules.
-should we buy some thing for the girls to wear? i dont assume we will find them fully clothed.
-how much will the ore samples weigh? gotta accout for that too.

[Our Angry Bear Brain]

You can assume Sildar made *absolutely sure* you knew how to get to the mine.



>should we buy some thing for the girls to wear?

[Ashley] the "missing" girls:



[Ashley] I'll handle the samples, don't worry about it.

[Τamamo]

Haha yeah i bet they just went on a skiing trip!
Btw doesn't Cat have natural snowshoes already with her broad paws?

What we need to bring is the ladder and pole we bought them for dungeons. Also all sort of lamp and fire stuff. Enough food. We don't need the chain. I am busy this weekend, can somebody else make a list of what the girls should carry?

[Τamamo]

As you mentioned it, I think Cat may be underdressed. Yulya has a cloak that came with her cleric outfit but Cat does not. Just her common clothes and a waterproof hood. No idea how we have to package Alice that she survives the trip. Sew her into a bear fur or something.

[Our Angry Bear Brain]

We've established that she's an temperature regulated exothermic organism, so three layers will be good down to -10C whatever those layers are.

I would be willing to allow Cat's patches of fur as a layer, if your paws are furry then no need for gloves, if you have a furry neck, no need for scarf, that's a layer.

Common clothes, down to 0C
Fur down to -5C
A cloak would be enough to get the third layer, you can buy that in Phandalin for 20% over.


Example down to -15C
****
Leather Cloak 12sp, 3lbs
****
Scarf, wool, 6sp, .5lb
Gloves 2sp, .25 lbs.
****
Common clothes with boots
****
Wool Stockings, 1sp, .25lbs
Mamillare, 3sp, .25lbs
Panties, 1sp, .1lbs

Arctic gear: fur lined jacket with hood, fur lined pants, gloves and boots with scarf, face wrap and goggles with common clothes underneath would itself allow -40C travel, add a layer of undergarments for another -5C


Undergarment layer counts as well, For instance, socks, underwear and mamillare
Ashley has that, a robe and a cloak with gloves as well.

Yayy, Platinum coins doubled overnight!
The Lolibank where money multilplies on its own was the best idea ever!

The DM is always right, right?
I'm gonna update the inventory then!

[Our Angry Bear Brain]

Thank you for the check, but a typo like that would be fixed automatically at the next report.

I updated the post.

[Kashtan]

extra pp status: DENIED

technically Cat doesnt even have underwear so only her common clothes. even with fur paws thats just 2 layers.
ive updated the inventory and distributed everything so theres about 30lbs carrying capacity left. pls check and modify as needed.
they currently have 22 rations. 4 for today and at 6 rations per day this will last for another 3 days. should they bring more? can you eat orcs or giant spiders?

[Our Angry Bear Brain]

I wouldn't think it will take more than three days, it's less than a day away, there's always the option to head back to town and return when restocked.

[Τamamo]

Returning for supplies sounds inconvenient. Reminds me of that goblin slayer episode where some high level adventurers lay siege to a goblin den on a mountain in the snow until they run out of supplies. One goes back to the village for food and when he returns the camp has been raided and his party members are dead or missing. All alone he's overwhelmed by the goblins too. Cat says we're not leaving from there until the last orc is dead. This time for real. No goblin women and children shenanigans.

How is cooking in the mine? Should we bring some firewood? Or should we place our bets on finding enough orc garbage to burn?

[Alice]

I think Kashtan's list is good. I thought about less rations but the amount of weight we save is marginal.
The matter of cooking fuel should be addressed though. I don't like cold food, it's cold enough. I want awesome warm Cat rations!

[Alice]

At least there's plenty of firewood now!
I say we sneak closer to the edge of the fence and I try to find a gap to look inside. We have the ladder so we should make it across.

[Kashtan]

sounds good Yulya wil cast guidance on ya

[Τamamo]

Yeah we have the ladder so crossing it or shooting from top and hiding again should work. We wanna take out any guards at the other side without causing alarm though!
