Working that out in my mind :P  I kind of want a separate thread for Shopping and Stuff, but I also kind of want one for the next adventure... I /THINK/ I have plenty of topics still that I'd be allowed to do that, especially with Shopping And Stuff being a shared thread we'll pop back to anytime we need to.<br/><br/>Here's what I'd like to do to keep things manageable:<br/>If there are multiple things you'd like to do in town, mention all but one of them quickly in the thread.  Most of them will not be played out.  Each player can (if they wish) choose 1 option to play fully as a scene!  Otherwise, we'll zoom through this.  The one you do as a scene may also overlap with the actual adventure-time!<br/><br/>Things you can do include stuff like getting new equipment, buying/building stuff for the Delvers Company home base, pursuing other rumors, attempting to get information about a magic item or strange occurrence, getting training from a mentor or expert in something, etc.<br/><br/><hr/>Now: End of Session!<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">When you reach the end of a session, choose one of your bonds that you feel is resolved (completely explored, no longer relevant, or otherwise). Ask the player of the character you have the bond with if they agree. If they do, mark XP and write a new bond with whomever you wish.<br/><br/>Once bonds have been updated look at your alignment. If you fulfilled that alignment at least once this session, mark XP. Then answer these three questions as a group:<br/><br/>Did we learn something new and important about the world?<br/>Did we overcome a notable monster or enemy?<br/>Did we loot a memorable treasure?<br/>For each “yes” answer everyone marks XP.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>But Nastara!  This may freaking make people hit level 3!  I know, I know.  We'll balance XP with the new players!<br/><br/>I don't remember if we've also done bonds with the new characters!  If we haven't, they should set up some bonds AND remember old players I would ENCOURAGE setting up bonds with the new players!  That way we end up all bonded together again!  Yay!<br/><br/><hr/>We also need to choose a new adventure!  Here are some rumors!<br/><br/>-Mother Ormas of the Church of the Silent Storm currently is attempting to hunt down a stolen copy of the book Integration of Necromantic Energies Through Blood Magic Most Foul by Verlica Ignien.  She fears that the manuscript could fall into the wrong hands.  A thief fitting the description was last seen near Jacca's Ridge.  She will pay with favors and gold.<br/>-Heaford is a generally safe city, but of late many of the city's poor have gone missing.  Sulnal the Rag-Man has approached the Delvers looking for help.  He insists that he has a legendary magic sword with which to pay them, though he hasn't been able to prove it yet.<br/>-Lord Riseld Tinbur has contacted the Delvers Company to report that his daughter's suitor, a briggand and a pirate, has run away with a longsword that belonged to his father.  The weapon is said to be quite valuable and Lord Tinbur is prepared to lend a ship in recovering it as well as offering payment.<br/>-Lady Cara seeks to travel to the dwarven city of Danum Fel.  She seeks guards who can bring her and her two servants through the icy mountains that divide Brondolor from Danum Fel.  She is willing to pay in gold.<br/>OR<br/>Is there a greater treasure, target, or goal you follow?
