[QUOTE="Trouvere, post: 4191089, member: 37250"] Tarag's quiet aside leaves Keldar looking discomfited. "[COLOR=SandyBrown]It's-[/COLOR]" he says, then frowns and turns to the first mate. "[COLOR=SandyBrown]You'll have to excuse him,[/COLOR]" he says. "[COLOR=SandyBrown]It's the forge-fumes from hot metal and coal. There aren't any, you see. All this fresh air makes him dizzy.[/COLOR]" "[COLOR=SandyBrown]The mate means eight hours each and every day, dawn till dawn, all the way to Fallon. Now, six of us, in pairs, that's three watches, of course. I daresay the ship will lay at anchor in the river for the night, or tie up at little docks some of the time.

Roughly 6am-2pm Galwynn/Rapture; 2pm-10pm Keldar/Tommy; 10pm-6am Tarag/Fimble works for me; Tommy prepares spells on first waking as usual; Fimble goes to sleep at dawn and prepares in the early afternoon; Tarag prays at dawn when he goes off-duty, then goes to sleep till mid-afternoon. Rapture and Keldar can switch their watches around, but it's probably best to keep Galwynn and Keldar separated ;) - because Keldar's +3 Spot counterbalances Tommy's -1. Since Galwynn will presumably sleep out of his plate armor, it might be good if he slept in the afternoon, when there are three of us awake, and had his off-duty time at night with Tarag and Fimble. How is that?[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
