I'll check into the prices for healing kits, but I plan on having an in-house supplier who will probably be selling a limited quantity of them for less than 10 gps each. So, you'll always have access to some. If you want more, you'd have to go into town for them. The regular merchants will be selling them in the 50-130 gp range.
We'll have to see just how much combat there really is, but frankly, I think it will limited to one or maybe two fights per session depending on what's going on. There might be more in special situations: you might have to go to some haunted crypt and there would be more fights there. But adventuring won't be a major theme, just sort of a distraction . . . I think. So, healing shouldn't be a big focus.
I haven't decided exactly how much gold to give per week, but of course that will be supplemented by anything you guys find during any adventures.
I think this may be something we'll have to play by ear to see how it goes.

Well, seeing as how resting will be limited to a few safe areas, those that play healers will have to manage their spells a bit more. All in all, I think either resting (which will restore all hps) or using healing kits and potions will probably be the best bet for healing. But if someone wants to play a cleric, there's plenty of room for one.

Yeah, I've always liked that. Just so you know, I've started on the merchants and many of them simply won't do any business with non-humans. Some have their own list of who they'll deal with.

I'd like to see a mix of "plots". Anything from assassinating an important member of the town council, to dungeon crawls where both PC parties are going after the same goal, stopping the Duath slave ring, convincing companies to deal strictly with your house and not with the competition, to more cooperative events like stalking the killer of your houses patrons or something like that (perhaps members of your house have been kidnapped). The other DMs and I have some pretty good ideas for both competive and cooperative "plots" we can spring on you. I just don't think this will be terribly fun if we tried doing this like UO guilds, that is I don't really see much point in having your parties "raiding" eachother every week; it's impractical (because both houses have some pretty good guards), and not too fun (because I can see one side or other getting completely wiped out very quickly). I would like to leave that possiblity open though. Might be an interesting way to end the campaign. *grins*
