Sweaters

Summary

The sweaters are trade goods being transported by the party on their cart during Session 6 of the campaign. While primarily intended for sale, the sweaters become central to an improvised plan to deter potential bandits by making the traveling group appear larger than it actually is. The party proposes dressing pumpkin figures in the sweaters to create decoys, with Brad noting this approach would simultaneously help display the merchandise to potential buyers.

Properties

The sweaters are numerous enough that the party can spare several for their decoy scheme while still maintaining inventory for trade. They prove functional as both clothing and securing material—when placed on pumpkin constructions, the sweaters help hold the figures together. The garments are wearable in multiple layers, as demonstrated when Cat and Sucks test how many sweaters a single person can don at once. Cat successfully wears at least 10 sweaters by wiggling into them, while Sucks claims the ability to wear 11, creating what one participant describes as a "nest of sweaters."

History

Session 6

The party discusses the sweaters as part of their strategy for safe travel. When considering how to protect themselves from bandits, someone proposes making figures resembling snowmen out of pumpkins and dressing them in the sweaters. The suggestion includes using the sweaters to secure the pumpkin constructions in place on the cart.

Brad points out the commercial advantage of this plan, noting "It would help show off the sweaters to potential buyers" as the party travels. This transforms the defensive deception into a mobile display for their trade goods.

The conversation then turns to testing the feasibility of layering sweaters. Someone asks, "How long do you think it would take to get a bunch of sweaters and Cat put them all on herself?" Cat demonstrates the ability to wear at least 10 sweaters, employing a wiggling technique to don multiple layers. Not to be outdone, Sucks asserts, "I'm pretty sure I could wear 11," initiating a competitive display of sweater-wearing capacity between the two party members.
