Wow! Missed updating this for a bit.
This was the clean up meeting for the end of adventure 5 and preparation for the summer. The 6th player was not a good for us so we are back to 5, and one of my long term players takes off the summer to ostensibly take care of his home and sundry issues - but never has enough time to actually get caught up. Se after this meeting we'll be at 4 at the table - until I go through the trouble to find a replacement player.
Write up follows:
With the prospect of being in town for a long period of time, the group had approached the Greater Rand Sellsword and Adventuring Guild about finding them a possible house they could rent/lease for some time.
A number of prospects were brought up, but a block of homes on the south section of town not too far from the original Mage’s Ghetto and the trade gate was offered up as a good choice. The neighborhood wasn’t the best or worst, and being close enough (3 blocks) to the local militia station meant the area was patrolled and often even if the quality of the homes were is less than stellar repair.
The house was single story, with a full basement. Access to the well was less than a block, there was a small cordoned off yard and outhouse, and the roof was slate not thatch, which was something less for the party to worry about. No obvious leaks, the doors were square, the shutters in good repair. The main floor had a large living/dining area and a kitchen, and then 6 rooms as well as a pantry/closet. The downstairs had a single larger chamber and then 8 smaller rooms and a 6’x6’ root cellar. No furnishings, the place needed some cleaning and repair, paint and whatnot – but the price was well within our budget and we could move in early – paying for a full season now with the understanding that a month before the lease was up, they’d come to us again to review and then another payment.
We bought brooms and buckets, ran water and spent time cleaning up for a day or two. Most of us had petered about wondering if the local guilds were going to be able to train them, when we decided to look about for furnishing. Dizzy used his contacts that he had made with the local thieves guilds and they turned the party on to a warehouse they had of furnishing that had been repossessed for poor loan repayments in lieu of coin.
The majority of us them spent the rest of the day talking to the warehouse manager and his adjunct where they purchased beds and mattresses and linens and table, lockers, chests, pots, pans, chairs and anything they thought they might need in the near future to make their home better.
The furnishings were delivered the next day and we spent the majority of that day and the following night putting the material away and cleaning up the locale even more.
But we were going to need to find some employment and the GRSAG had been informed that we were looking for a local job that would pay well and be within our wheelhouse of skills. Four of us were going to train (Negan, Merica, Dizzy, and Darius) so for the next 2 weeks, the group was going to haunt all the local crafters and tradesmen and see what work could be rounded up to add some coin to their pockets.
