You definitely find a horse and tack at Merkel's
Merkel’s is little more than a large rambling wooden house with a smithy attached to it. The front portion of the house has been
given over as a shop. The goods Merkel sells are mostly useful to travelers and caravans. His smithy, though used to helping the locals, derives much income by repairing items for the caravans. There are harnesses, ropes, wheels, nails, dry goods, cloaks, blankets, lanterns, pitch and other tools in his stock of goods. In all, Merkel’s inventory is small and limited. Importantly, oil is difficult to come by and costs 4gp per pint.

Geros approaches the Merkel's house, attempts to find the owner, and asks for the price of a horse, which will mostly be used to carry his gear.

Not everything on the list is available. No camels.

OOC:
What about Elephants?

More seriously, Geros could afford a light horse. But that is not what he looking for, really, so he will probably settle for a pony.

Gold has been deducted.

You find yourselves at the Bierkeller and Ronnart is as usual, busy polishing the glassware and ordering his servers about. He sees a beggar enter who looks to be in his 30's.
"Ozrit, I knew you'd come around begging once more. Fine...have a seat and I'll have them bring you a meal," says Ronart.
"And a beer? I is awfully thirsty milord," says Ozrit in a rough and gravelly voice.
"Aye...a beer as well. Have a seat somewhere," replies Ronart.

Ozrit looks around and sees your table and the empty chair.
"Do ya mind milords? Me feet and me back are a sufferin' and I needs to eat," he says as he takes a seat.

OOC:
It is dinner time, around 6:30 pm. Sunset will be around 7:45 pm.
Jul 31, 2026 3:40 pm
Happy with the day's business, Geros welcomes the newcomer with a large smile. "Of course, friend, have a seat. I am Geros, at your service. Who might you be?"
Jul 31, 2026 5:17 pm
"I am a scribe's assistant sir, my name is Ozrit," he says and sits up straight. "I hear you are about to head south once your caravan is ready?"

https://files.idyllic.app/files/static/3478842RangerRanger Zugor keeps to himself and lets Geros wisdom take care of the situation.
Aug 1, 2026 7:27 pm
Geros looks at Ozrit, a little less jovial. "That might be." he answers, still in a pleasant tone. "Who told you that?"
Aug 2, 2026 2:10 am
"Iron-eye. We go back a ways, why?" he says looking at Geros in the eye smilng.
Aug 2, 2026 1:47 pm
Geros feels a little relieved, but tries not to show it too much. "Iron-eye, of course, I should have known! Yes, we are waiting for the caravan. Are you interested to join as well?"

https://files.idyllic.app/files/static/3478842RangerRanger Zugor raises an eyebrow when he hears this. Hmmm.
Aug 2, 2026 6:21 pm
"No, but I probably should. My master forgets I need to eat and as a Sage doing research, I have much work from him but little in the way of pay. As you can see, I have a tab here and very little else," he says as he looks at Zugor and nods as if to say "good day."

Two goblins walk in to the Bierkeller and take a seat at a table and order food and beer. They have a large bag with them containing vegetables from what you can see.
Aug 3, 2026 1:20 pm
Geros notices the goblins and, still smiling, asks Ozrit: "I see that goblins are freely going in town. Are there many coming around?". He tries not to make it too obvious to anyone outside his table that he is talking about them.
Aug 3, 2026 7:45 pm
"Oh, them. They're a complicated lot. But alas, I must eat," he says as the server places a huge plate of boiled eggs, ham and roasted vegetables right in front of Ozrit. He digs in with relish.
Aug 4, 2026 9:00 am
Geros looks at Ozrit, then Zugor, then the others, still smiling but not sure of what to make of the answer and the whole scene.
Aug 4, 2026 8:47 pm
Ozrit finishes his breakfast.
"Alright, nice to meet you lads. I'm off. If you need anything, I will be near the North Gate. Master Loamora's Apothecary. Good day milords," he says, give a short nod for a bow and is out of the door.
