You all set off, with horses and bumby wagon. Near the end of the day you approach the town. Enter for the night, or camp outside?
Kell smacks his lips and says, "That tavern had good ale last time we were here. Let's go in and sample a little more and find out any news the locals have. It'll give us a chance to board our horses for the night and get them good meals before we set off on the long journey back to Verbosh."
OOC: I'm assuming this is the local village, not the Goblin village half way back to Verbosh.

Jariel and Garfund will be in the middle of the party leading the mules and riding horses
Each PC should take a sack of gold (so we don't lose it all) and an item of jewelry. The silver and copper can ride on the cart. William's share can ride in his wagon...
We need a volunteer to go up front in place of Kell otherwise I think our dungeon marching order is ok.

Flandil: "Bringing a wagon loaded full of precious metal into a town may not be the most wise decision. Once it is spotted, it will only be a matter of time before a theft (of the entire wagon, or some of its contents) is attempted. I propose we keep the bulk of treasure out here, well guarded. Those of you who prefer a jaunt into town may do so in small groupings so the remaining may maintain a constant watch on our valuables."
Flandil speaks truth. Do we actually need to go into the town here though? Might be better to push on a bit and camp along the road.
How are we on supplies? It is a week back to Verbosh, and foraging on the way is not as wise a move as carrying supplies. If nothing else, we should send in a supply...and info gathering party...even if we camp outside of the village.

Yeah, you probably need supplies; I estimate you ahev about 3 days' worth, or enough to get you to teh goblin village
OOC: Okay, then...
Kell says, "I'll drive my cart in with those that are going and someone can buy supplies for our journey while I buy a barrel of ale from the innkeeper."
Grinning through his beard he adds, "I think a barrel should get us back to Verbosh without going too dry."

Yhency and his men will stay at the campsite to guard the goodies. "We've come too far and risked too much to lose our valuables through indiscretion."

Jariel will stay with the wagon. He will ask Kell to purchase some rations for him and Garfund, handing Kell sufficient coin for 2 weeks rations for men, and 6 weeks of trail rations for his horses and mules and Garfund's horse.

I'll say 200 gold will buy two weeks of supply for the entire caravan, including ale. Anybody else going in to town? I will post the town update tomorrow or late tonight
