===Contributions by Guild Members===
Resources are organised before the guild meeting.  Around 750,000sp have been spent on expendable items for the attack (invested, potions, rituals etc.).  A number of guild members help by donating services, providing investeds, trading for items and casting spells.

[[Isil Eth]] donated a significant sum of money to be spent.  Items are borrowed from:
*[[Eric]]
*[[Jaundice]]
*[[Quarash]]
*[[Keshah]]
*[[Erzsabet]]
*[[Father Rowan]]

[[Turf]] conducts a Namer summoning ritual every morning to attempt to summon Saydar.  As long as nothing goes wrong, Saydar chooses not to be summoned.  Turf also provides some potions and other support magic.

Guild members that provided services include:
*[[Mortimer]] cast his flying ritual.
*[[New_Seagate#Merchants|Fizzgig]] created charms.
*[[Shoka]] created herbalist potions.
*[[Rowan]] cast linking lifeforces.
*[[Keshah]] cast Rune Shields.
*[[Father Rowan]] provided Holy Water
*[[Logan]] maintains an anti-scrying field in Newhaven
*[[Aqualina]] donated some potions
*[[Gerald/Glass]] created potions of Enhanced Vision

[[Razor]] and [[Erzsabet]] watch the Linking Lifeforces in [[Newhaven]].
Erzabet has been taught everyone's ITN and will do name summoning each morning.  She will have the ITN's [[Shrivers|shrived]] away after the mission is complete.  A painting of each party member is stored in Newhaven Castle.  Razor uses these paintings to communicate will the party on the top of the hour, and keeps a set of up-to-date scribe notes about everything that happens.  In combat the linking lifeforces show injuries and Razor will immediately contact the party to find out what is happening.

A number of mercenary Guild Members required payment in advance from the party and offered nothing for free:
*[[Dramus]]
*[[WordSmith]]
