In reply to Narrator (msg # 69):
the question is more along the lines of how much is the empire funding this expedition so we have a general idea of what can be requested. Say like 50 GP tops, more? Less?
Its not an amount, its the type of items.
If you want mountain climbing gear it would be a no, because your not expect to be climbing any mountains in this adventure.
The talk about horses, I would say no also, because the area is a swamp region. Horses would be a waste of money. Not that it couldn't just doesn't make sense, if you have a special ride or already had a horse fine but to buy one. Not yet.
Funds for a guild when you get closer maybe a good idea, or a river/flat boat to work your way could work.
Think New Orleans - marsh lands and swamp regions. It is walk-able, but not fast or in a straight line.
