Now for the equipment:

Provisioning is always going to be an ongoing issue. The Eastern Legion only has enough food for another two weeks. Fresh food will be needed. Those back at the camp will focus on foraging and making ready for travel for the next day. The location needs to be hidden, and when the Eastern Legion leaves, all traces need to be wiped out as much as possible.

A small amount of coin was made available to the two detachments heading into the twin cities. Their job is to make connections and be ready to start some shit if need be. The money might also be used to reprovision the main element in the field, but let's hope it doesn't come to that. If such is the case, the Deja (as the least conspicuous) will make the trip back down the bay.

For mounts, the five Infernals and a dozen commandos have horses. Kritot has his hand-head, Bunny. None of them have spares. Jin is mounted, and has a spare, but it's already well loaded with his tools and Apple's. The Infernals' mounts are Undead, as are the six pack horses. Another dozen mules are brought along as beasts of burden. These 18 all have pack saddles and bags. There are additional bags and boxes for loot.

The Eastern Legion has a compass and a map of Tataramoa. Luckily, many of those present can use both.

Twelve axes (for wood, not combat)

Four shovels

Two tinderboxes

Everybody gets a canteen, bota, or waterskin. Everybody. The Vampires can fill it with blood if they want, but nobody should be going thirsty. It's too damned hot here.

Tools for all of the aforementioned support roles: sewing kits, spare leather, pots, pans, etc. Apple has a small anvil and tools. Jin has a portable alchemy kit.

130 bodybags: this is enough for each Vampire to be double-bagged during the day, and still have twenty spares.

1000 feet of rope

Two latrine screens: these also come bundled with a folding horseshoe-shaped stool, bucket, and brush.

Medical supplies, as much as we could lay our hands on before leaving Citadel. This includes three stretchers and a whole bunch of bandages.

Two oil lanterns and a couple gallons of oil: most of our light needs can be met by campfire.

About half of the Aerenidae are armed with spears and/or knives, and half are armoured in leather. Understandably, they won't be wearing it unless expecting trouble. All of these redheads are trained in hand-to-hand combat. The Infernals are armed with saddle swords (cavalry) and with glaives and poleaxes (infantry); they are armoured in mail. The commandos have a variety of weapons and armour.

These are all in addition to what people bring as individuals.
