Cat would like a greataxe. But it's expensive with 30 gp. In the long run half plate armor but that will be a long way until we can afford that. We will see how high our reward is.
And a cloak would be nice, also maybe a grappling hook to throw with the rope.
And I think we have a backpack problem. Cat already has a backpack, Yulya has hers Ashley wants one but I think we should buy a dungeoneers backpack. So maybe Ashley wants Cat's backpack and Cat will carry our dungeoneer's backpack with all equipment? She's much stronger.
About rations, the most efficient way would be to buy ingredients for half the price of a ration, is that correct? A ration costs 5 sp so half would be 3 sp? Or are groceries even cheaper?
Also Cat can turn 1 ration into 2 meals, right? So we need 2 rations for our party per day. How many rations should we make for this trip? I guess more is better than less they can even be sold or traded.
2x 3sp per day for 6 days would be 36 sp
To be on the safe side 4 gp for rations for the entire trip
So Cat would need
groceries for rations 4 gp?
[greataxe 30gp]
dungeoneers pack 12 gp
grappling hook 2 gp
cloak 5sp
15 gp equipment
4 gp rations
20 gp would be nice
absolute minimum without the hook and cloak would be 15gp + 6 sp
