[@Dark Cloud]It's totally up to you guys how you play this.  But I do believe Zool was thinking this also when she said:

To add to what others have said; I'd say Clive should take some gold to sponser the journeys of the prospective 'Cherrad messengers.'  The [i]closest[/i] city that could have reinforcements might not be too far for the one messenger.  Capitol City, however, might require a long trip - like, weeks maybe - that needs resources, so a gold piece or two, might go a long way for the other messenger to take up the big task.

I think through the OOC discussion, the voting has been resolved.  Everyone seems to be in agreement:
