BTW, Marie, should our characters have any equipment besides the stuff specifically mentioned at the beginning of the interest check thread?  (That is, one melee weapon, one ranged weapon, one armor, tools for each tool proficiency, and a spellcasting focus if needed.)<br/><br/>...actually, I guess Arianna should probably have an arcane focus or a spell component pouch.  I'm not sure she has any spells with material components but she could learn some eventually. >_><br/><br/>But other than that, I mean.  Should we have stuff like rations and water and rope, or for that matter money?  (Unless we're all broke.)  Or will we have a chance in-game to get equipped before actually hitting the road?
