1 The Guidebook: this is a mess of photocopied pages stitched together into the cover of an old bestseller. Everyone selling a copy is gonna promise you its the latest edition, Or they will promise you this one is The Only Complete Version, everyone elses is shorter obviously (much of this has been accomplished by leaving part of the bestseller in situ) Or that their's is a bargain price as its the only parts you need to know, and lighter to carry! (in fact whole regions of the journey have been removed wholesale)
2 one-use (highly flammable) religious icons.light them up, toss them out the windows, and hope whatever your hiding from chases them down instead
3 crickets in wire cages, to hang outside your cart
4 cart trailers: a little extra you can tow, lightweight, not recommended for passengers, but you do what you gotta do
5 track hats. Special style of hat. Look around, everyone’s wearing them. Do they help? They must, look how popular they are. wearing a track hat makes you a magnet for every scammer & disreputable type in the station.
6 popular snacks of the land from which you came, little jars of condiments. Do they have this over there? Who knows? i wouldn’t bet on it
7 cart poles: ten foot spar for the front of your cart, jaunty flag attached.
8 carts:
$$$ roomy, implacable. slow to start, slow to stop, almost impossible to derail. Will be abandoned as soon as you get to cart town cause it is too damn heavy to take anywhere.
$$ cramped, adequate. doesn’t look like much, but in an emergency this cart will come through for you like it knows this time it matters
$ delicate, temperamental. Easy to lift off track & carry around obstructions, hard to keep all the parts from falling off
