Althea is taken by surprise by the conversation unfolding in front of her. "Miles, are you aware of some stream around here?", she asks sharply. "You might have missed it, but we were just about to launch a larger expedition to find a suitable source of water, so if you have any knowledge of a stream around here, you should immediately tell Rose. On that note, Caitlyn, I thought you were coming with us? You can hardly accompany two scouting teams at the same time, no?"<br/><br/>Turning back to Miles, she says, "So, sadly I can't join your crew. You're free to come with me, though. I think. You might wanna check that with Rose, too, just in case."<br/><br/>Noticing the amount of supplies lying around Miles and Caitlyn, Althea picks up a dagger, shoving into a holster on her belt, and stores a bunch of candles in the many pockets of her vest. She also adds a lot of rope, binding it around her body in complicated ways - you'll always end up wanting rope when you haven't got any. Finally, she affixes a candle lamp (with rope - see how important it is?) to her belt - one of the advantages of not having legs is that you don't make things on your belt bounce about quite as much.<br/><br/>She also makes a point to hand over the iron hinges and nails to Rose; she can probably figure out some good use for them.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Craft check to figure out Black Powder (Craft checks <span style="font-style: italic">can</span> be made for DCs above 10 untrained :P)<br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/397386">Craft (Alchemy)</a>: <span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20-1</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">11</span><br/>Too low though.</div></div></div>
