As he should. He was prepared to dish out gold in abundance and give them the best leads and advantages they could have.<br/><br/>Maps ! Excellent. Pity they were sparse but any map helped. It seemed they would be asking locals of strange happenings and the likes, or any rumor of a previous expedition passing through. It was likely they would arrive months behind now, but that wasn't to be changed.<br/><br/>Ura noticed how many were present to come to the kings summons. Seven. Ura approached the chest that had the gold they were to be given up front and counted the gold bars. There were many. Wow. If the king was to give them this much up front for preparations and all, how much more would they get on completion of the quest ? Enough to change everything. Ura removed one seventh of the gold bars and placed them in her backpack. No doubt they may loose horses or run out of medical supplies or food and need to buy more in places they find.<br/><br/>Ura removed one of the bars of gold she already took and handed it to Sariandi<strong>"Perhaps this should enable you to buy more potions of healing that are not divine, and something to prevent infection for everyone, in addion to my previous order</strong>" this left a few gold bars in her backpack. It might be a good idea to exchange the gold bars for coins and gems later, but they were not that heavy.<br/><br/>If no one objected, Ura would retrieve any maps that were available to keep for the group. She had a lot of them and being the map keeper seemed a good idea, unless another came forward that preferred the position. She wasn't the best navigator or tracker so perhaps one would..<br/>
