Yep, good from my side!
To the other players, for what it’s worth feel free to take a strong steer on minor choices like which inn to go to; better to dive in where someone has a preference than try to decide by committee!

Doing good, thanks for checking on us! Will take your advice to heart SudoDragon! Thanks for taking initiative Drgwen!

No prob!
And nice, Wren is good with the cheaper place even if the guy is a little too eager for her taste.

Would love to hear from you other players.
Also, just looking at the Marketplace prices in the 2e Players Guide and Yochai was smokin' something! Sheesh! Ignore all the room and board stuff. It's way out of whack with the module prices and even other things in the Marketplace...

Right, all good here. I was wondering about the prices as well. Been thinking of getting some additional gear, but its all insanely expensive.

All good here! Rowan is broke now, so he'll have to make due with a lowly d6 knife. LOL

Well, first of all, indeed, you'll need to earn your keep / some money! You didn't come to Brandonsford for a vacation!
Cost of a bed is five silvers. The food was 1-3 silvers, depending on what you ordered.
This reminds me -- Wren might have some goods she was transporting, but the idea was to transfer them to the merchants traveling in from the north -- who are missing. (They would have paid you. But since they are not here... no payment.)

Heh. Aye, you can concoct the goods or roll randomly -- but you've likely got something you were supposed to hand-off and get paid for, in the boat.

I have done everything else in this game with a random roll! So I found this, a d100 chart of things you might find in a fantasy warehouse.
https://www.dicegeeks.com/fantasy-warehouse-1d100/
Rolling d100!
80: Crate marked with coat of arms.
Great, but what's IN the crate?
37. Large decorative egg (silver with sapphires)
Uh... GM? Thoughts?

Rolls
1d100
(80) = 80
What's in the box?!? - (1d100)
(37) = 37

If you don't mind, I love random tables and all but I'd like to keep the treasures out of your pockets just yet. :)
I think it should be something that's valuable in quantities small enough for one person to transport, without being so valuable that there would be armed guards along for the ride. How about salt, honey, spices, or (living) silkworms?

Hah I don’t get to start with treasure? Boo!
Seriously though, I like spices. Let’s go with that.

Hope you don’t mind me splitting up a bit. I heard that kind of thing works well with PbP and wanted to give it a try while in the relative calm of the town.
Also just a heads up that I’m traveling a bit this weekend, should still be able to post but if I miss one due to lack of wifi or some such you’ll know why.

Splitting up is 100% fine, and no worries on traveling, I appreciate the heads up.
I will, however, say this…
OSR PLAYER TIP
Since some of you profess to be new or new-ish to the OSR, from time to time I’ll post some insights, best practices, quirks and expectations here.
SudoDragon posted about the church, assuming at least two things: that the building was still open, and that the priest was in. Generally speaking, unless it’s stated otherwise, these world details are fully the purview of the GM. I’m rolling with it here since we want to get the gang a move-on, but typically I would either decide based on context and what’s come before if both of those things would be true, or I’d bounce some dice to randomize whether the building was open and priest was in.
It’s a little more restrictive than some of you might be used to in a more modern RPG. While there are times when I’ll source the table, generally speaking you shouldn’t make assumptions regarding that sort of thing without at least checking in. It’s no biggie, but it’s a thing.
