    • canon cost is £1/two weeks for a couple of magi and entourage.
    • South group Spring 1013 (four weeks): £2
    • North group Spring 1013 (three weeks, war prices): £2 (++)
    • North group Summer 1013 (two weeks): £1 (--)
    • South group (Summer 1013) four weeks: £2
    • The rest has been covered by foraging or hospitality.
  • Cath'rinne and Nauvi's war spoils: £2
  • Net wealth at the start of Autumn 1013: £90

Comments? Anything I forgot?

2

Plus £5 from Thadeus.

3

£40 silver, lock box from Sionag.

4
  • Start of Autumn: £90
  • Addition from Thadeus and Sionag: +£45
  • Expenditure: £6¹
  • Net at the end of Autumn: £128

¹ Canon cost for eight weeks traveling would be about £12, but you have saved a lot by foraging and had starting provisions from Ungulus. OTOH, eight weeks is conservative, it could be 10, and war prices are higher. The cost also covers wear and tear, of course, not just food.

I'd keep the 4 Ungulus rangers together and bring them to oak circle, Ungulus has the 5 others anyway. And it would be worth it to have a full combat squad too.
