[When Nathaniel calls for one of the all-too familiar meetings regarding cores, he looks pretty unhappy. In fact, he looks like he has some bad news to give. Whatever it is, everyone should come listen, because it's pretty important!]

[She continues talking to Nathaniel.]

Hm... that's not quite what I was thinking of, honestly, but considering they're just what you've scrounged up on short notice, that's quite good. Every little bit will prove useful, I'm sure.

[Back to Colin.] Excellent. I think a bit of reduction in peripheral vision is probably a small price to pay to not be afflicted with whatever those plants can throw at us. It's just kind of a shame we can't get more equipment on such short notice.

[fireburn]

Do we know the nature of their poisons? I can only imagine plants would have a weakness to fire, but if that just releases their gasses with the smoke all it would do is help it travel farther.

[which would suck setting things on fire is fun :( ]

[daughterofursa]

[Oh. Is Azula coming? No reason to think that couldn't be..... helpful... She did just make a fair point.]

I guess hacking them apart might not be much better.

And we might want to think about giving that gas mask to whoever could do the most harm if they lost their senses.

[Definitely side-eyeing Azula there. Please do not be lightninging her again sis.]

[twinked_witch]

That could be quite a few of us, unfortunately. Perhaps someone should call in a favor from the Monument for some specific gear for this?

[four_quarts]

Yes, I think that would be wise, particularly for those of us who can use magic. Althena knows the one time I lost my senses was legendary, and I'm sure we'd all like to avoid anything remotely of that scale.

[Although the tone of the example is somewhat light, there is still the definite implication that it's not hyperbole.]

[bastionpc]

Yeah, if you guys want to get some heavy-duty stuff, go for it. Just don't weigh yourselves down too much or limit your mobility, you're going to need to be able to run.

And we know the nature of some of the poisons, yeah. Some of them cause full-body paralysis, others cause a loss of senses, and some cause full-on hallucinations. If someone gets hit with that last one you're going to want to find a way to restrain them, by the way, the effects last for quite a while.

[bakegarasu]

As long as I can move and see, I can fight. Don't worry about any that cause pain for me, because it won't be an issue.

[Sometimes having loss of a sense can be helpful.]

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko nods to Megaera.] I think we can afford some equipment.

And we'll be sure to bring rope. [In case they need to tie anyone up.]

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

[Rob speaks up quietly.]

I've got some potions ready. Invisibility for 17 seconds, increasing natural healing rate, restoring stamina, added resistance to fire - probably pointless in a swamp but I have it - nothing that'll deal with those poisons though. I'll get them when we're done here.

[He also has an untested blade poison that will (if this attempt at making it worked) increase the victim's weakness to fire, which he'll give to Zuko, but he only has one so he feels kind of awkward giving it to her in front of everyone else so that'll be handed over when no one else is around.]

[fireburn]

[for the record, if anyone tries to tie azula up she'll probably try to kill them.]

Beside the masks and the potions, we shouldn't have very much, right? Those items shouldn't make running an issue.
