Its that RP thread again! Spectators can shitpost, new players can try it out with little/no investment, and established players need no explanation.
We return as most of the party is either in Sparintenar preparing for a swank banquet - a custom among the Spartans - or speeding towards; except Thez. ;_;
Our newest player Stix is exploring the surrounding forest area, as is his proclivity as a ranger.
Tracy, speeds toward Sparintenar at full speed for some reason unknown to GM at time of OP.
Thez is at the Sticky Wickett, having brought Bones along to have a mostly one-sided conversation, accented occasionally by >doot
Game is temporally not set to fire off at a particular point, but last thread passed 2nd bump so,....

Protip, NPCs don't call them "Wondrous Items", they call them curiosities, unique wares, etc. There's no standardization, outside the rule books.

“Just curious as to what a ranger could do to earn a coin. Oh, and I don’t suppose you can buy this bow of mine? The string snapped and I can’t be bothered to fix it at the moment. Might as well buy a new one later down the road.”

Whelp, Trumpaladin seems to have extracted most of what he can out of Sparintenar for the moment. But the airship is gone and his horsefu just vanished. So Trumpaladin asks the Generals to stay for a while and take in the culture of Sparintenar, and hopefully learn a thing or two about combat. He tells relevant ministers that the Generals will be there with the auxilaries to learn and to hopefully set up a football match as demonstration soon
Trumpaladin asks where the road to Silasil is, and rides on Fae on the road towards Silasil

"I've a couple bowstrings in the back, if you're looking for a replacement. As far as earning coin, you're probably better off looking in the Port to be honest. Its not that there aren't folks out here that could use help, just that they never come here to seek it, they go to the larger areas. From what I hear, there's a pretty open market for mercenaries and private military, which probably includes some jobs for a woodsy-type. I don't know, I'm just guessing to be helpful," he says, shrugging.

She looks at you with an increasingly widening stare. "No," she says at first. "Well," she says with a wider stare, and then as though she realized the cypher to an impossible riddle she says "Maybe," and her look turns to one of sublime satisfaction, as though she had just performed a great service.

“I appreciate your help. I will keep that in mind.”
GM, I need your help. You may have overlooked my question, but what kind of money does Stix have, if any? I don’t want to look like a fool and try to buy something without the funds to pay.

You're right. I noticed it, but I neglected to respond.
The thing is, since ponies are generally/largely naked, I have a hard time envisioning the sort of equipment that might go with a pony adventurer. The best I could imagine "needing" would be perhaps a belt/saddle-like harness for securing goods and such, and maybe a cloak for weather protection. Having said, rangers cover a wide scope of character types. There's the Robin Hood type, who exists on the periphery of society on one end of the spectrum, and on the other there's the wild/mountain-men who probably haven't seen another human in months, have an absurd survival skill, and just exist as a part/force of nature. That's the spectrum of ranger, shall we say, so to answer how much (if any) coin Stix has, you'll need to specify what sort of ranger he is. He naturally gravitated toward the smaller town/village in spite of the thriving port,....

Tl;dr Stix (or any character) can have whatever they want, so long as it makes sense

"Oh shit," Adam says, somehow perceiving that someone mentioned his name. "This can't be good," he jokes and laughs with the guys at the table. He's at the Duck btw.

You don’t make this easy... I thought character creation was over
As the type, the wild/mountaineer would be closer, though he has worked with other ponies before in the backstory I gave. He was hired to help protect others and make sure they survive harsh conditions and environments. However, being dead and sent here, I don’t know if money from the previous life would transfer.
To sum up, he would be poor, but have some should the money carry over.

I'm guessing there isn't anything to be bought at this shop for now, so I guess Tracy should go over to the Duck.
Tracy Disguises herself as a Mexican clown, because why the fuck not, and wanders off over to the Duck.

Cuz the mexican clown is way less conspicuous than the talking pastel hoers.

Gatesil and Greensil are the two closest, so which ever of those two is easier to get to...
Though they are both still very far away

Okay, enough clowning around then.. Was just saying that she was trying to look like anyone but herself.
*takes off red squeaky nose, makeup, and oversized clown shoes*
Tracy just does her best to blend in to the scene and not draw attention of anyone that might know her.

Yes. Either way, Trumpaladin asks about the road to Greensils or to Gatesil. What could he expect in going there?

Ok... so if Stix need to keep track of funds, how do we determine the funds he has? I need to know if he can afford anything. I need some idea of pricing to decide if it is a good bargain, etc.
“How much for this rope good sir?”

When Trumpaladin first went intol Port Barry, he found it was full of Jews. So I said that Trumpaladin, previously a member of government law enforcement, had a special check that let him spend pretty much any amount of public treasury funds for the acquisition of weapons, so long as the people the weapons were being purchased from were Jewish. The "Greatest Ally" act. Of course it was unclear if a check of such a nature could transfer funds through dimensions, so instead it was basically a forgery attempting to write an invalid check. But then the Jews he was attempting to defraud were wise to it, and so forth. Fun times

On the meta side of things, I have endeavored to eliminate cost-resources as being a 'thing'. The characters present and previous have established an working environment that non-exceptional expenditures are and can be considered as paid for, gratis, exchanged, etc. Tl;dr, If Stix needs a bowstring, he strikes me as the sort who would have or could easily procure the barter for a bowstring.

I didn't say "no bows", I said I was considering restricting them. As a ranger it makes sense to be able to use one, and why the fuck would he have one on appearing if it wasn't useful, I just leave it to the player to innovate how it works. ^_~

The bartender looks at Tracy for a moment, then bellows "ADAM!", which immediately results in a roar of laughter from one of the tables, and a medium-height, stocky fellow wanders over. "Wha'd I do now?" he says laughingly.

So, unless there's any critical information any helpful spartan wouldn't neglect to tell him before he departs on his Journey, Trumpaladin starts his way on the Road to Gatesil, packing beef Jerky and some other smoked meats for Fae, tells the Generals to take care, and goes along the road to Gatesil.
It reminds him of the lyrics "when goin' the road to sweet Athy" causing him to start singing aloud. Horribly. Hopefully not annoying enough to make Fae throw him off andd maul him, but possibly.
