Changed the last text a little, just for clarification.

Ok, if everyone agree, I can move the game forward. There are more NPCs to meet before we go to the "hack and slash" part.

True, did the Mayor accepted the condition I made regarding the two guards? If yes, I would like to know something about them, like names and all that.

Ha! I and the mayor thought you were just joking.

No one at the town is willing to go there. How unfortunate!

Damn

I would like to bargain a little about that. The guards are getting paid after all...

I don't fault you for thinking it was a joke, though. Mines tend to not be funny anyways

Once that bargaining is hashed out I'm fine fast-forwarding to food and interviews.

I promise that I didn't create more than 20 NPCs.

Don't mind playing things out just a little longer, just trying to get the characters to there goal: Food!!!

...Sorry. But might as well ask this new character about things and I think after my character's needs are met, might go to the store and see what we can use. More rations just in case for one thing.

You can do that without any problem.

And the party don't need to meet all NPCs at the first time at town too.

I will say this here, so we can save some IC posts.

- All food sources cost 200% of the normal price.
- Each player can buy food for 5 days for this price.
- If any player want to buy more, he needs to pay 400% of the normal price for more food.

I take it the food prices are the common meal prices? As the PHB lists common and feast prices.

I show 10gp for 10 days worth of rations, since the normal rate is 5gp for 10 days. I'm OK with that.

Page 222 of PHB1 for reference.

I don't think that's how it should work. If rations for 10 days costs 5gp, for 5 days it should cost 2,5gp. Which means we'll have to pay 5gp for rations for 5 days, and 15gp for food for 10 days.

That's true... Editing post, but will do so again if the DM's explanation calls for it.

Of course the official word comes from True, but Shock, I think you should reveal your calculations. We don't have to pay for the meal, since that's on Mayor's.

Felbatista is right on both subjects. You don't need to pay for this food (it is on the mayor's account); you will need to buy rations though. 5 days of rations cost 5 gp and 10 days cost 15 gp.

Can I buy 5 days of rations twice and only spend 10gp?

Maybe, but got the impression that the free meals deal hasn't kicked in yet. So just in case including it for not. Food totals:

5 gp for 5 days of rations
4 sp for a jug of ale
6 sp for tip

(edit: Ninja's by True Beliver, adjusting costs).

You can try, but since food is being rationed. Good luck with that, specially being a Deva.
