[OOC] The Checklist

[onlie2005]

Is it possible for you to give me a comprehensive list of what Maria's Shopping List contains?

I'll work on the specifics later tonight (got a thing today), but to get you started on the list's theme; its all magical (potions, components, etc) and very specialized gear designed for archeology. There's no mention of provisions, clothing, or general supplies.

Not mentioned on the list, but in the day's prior Lady Lisara has expressed the potential need to purchase horses for the lot of the group. She wants to travel quickly.

• Caliper
• Crack Hammer
• Gad Pry Bar
• Geo/Paleo Pick
• Rock Pick
• Rock Chisels
• Plumb Bob
• Ground Probe
• Trowels
• Spool of Twine
• Mason Line
• Whisk Brooms

• Chalk
• Paper
• Parchment
• Tarps
• Canvas
• Hemp Rope

I'm assuming that you're not entirely familiar with these items (neither was I), I pulled the specific tool names from this site. I will however, go as far as to presume that Maria does know what they are specifically.

May I assume that she knows exactly how many of each will be needed?

Including provisions and horses?

Lady Lisara has not done any predetermination about provisions of any kind. It seems to be a subject which she may have overlooked in the planning; as far as horses goes, neither Maria nor Lady Lisara have determined who might need a horse yet (aside from themselves who already have mounts). And that would likely be a good place to start with the group going to market.

I will save you some speculation on the details about quantities on the above list. We'll say that you can't go wrong with procuring the items, they'll be locatable and you'll get the correct quantities. I'm not particularly concerned about that aspect of things to begin with. The list, while detailed, isn't going to be a major element of things, we'll likely just refer to the bulk of those items as the excavation tools in the future; and have little concern for each individual item.

Don't be concerned about cost at this point either; just fyi, for this part that purse is pretty much bottomless (hopefully to illustrate the rich nobility angle) though if you end up trying to buy a diamond collar for your kitty; it could change how bottomless the purse is right now.

And... suddenly realized that I neglected one aspect of the list (dur):

• Potions of Cure Light Wounds
• Potion of Neutralize poison
• Potion of Tongues
• Scroll of Read Magic
• Scroll of Detect Magic
• Spell Components (Arcane & Divine)
