Small Vehicle Spend

From a small cart to a personal boat, personal vehicles are yours to own on Tenebrae. Unlike a larger shop, these have no monthly upkeep. They're also more limited: they tend to be dedicated, and built, towards a purpose you decide. Examples might be a traveling merchant's stall, or a fortuneteller's wagon.

Purchase of a vehicle grants you an object you may carry with you and drop any reasonable place ongrid. These vehicles are not intended to be enterable spaces. That is, boats tend to be open, and carts are most often adjustable so that they double as an unfolding merchant's stall.

A vehicle may reasonably travel with you wherever you go (and it is able to go). Carts, as part of the environment, are naturally exposed to the same risks as everything else. That is, if yours is a merchant cart and the price of supplies goes up, this challenges you, too. If it goes on a DM'd scene, however, it's in danger just as you are, and so forth.

A vehicle is the type of spend that's expected to take a little time and roleplay. That is, it's not something that turns into a finished product overnight.
