[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8155098, member: 6987520"] No, but I guarantee you even now, over 25 years later, I could [I]still[/I] move much faster than 10 feet PER SECOND (especially if being chased by a bear LOL), which is what a move and dash represents. ;) FWIW, I grew up and still live in upstate New York surrounded by woods. There is a creek across the road from my house and up into my early teens I used to run, actually [I]run[/I], up the creek, bounding from rock to rock and leaping over small pools of water, etc. I used to pretend I was a barbarian using my leaping and springing to move through the wilderness. In high school and college, I ran cross country... so yes [I]literally [/I]through a forest littered with leaves (no crumbled ruins, but plenty of tree roots, rocks, and such to avoid so I wouldn't twist my ankle or something). And that 10K was a cross-country competition in such conditions. Yes, we had some paths, but a lot of up and down hills, through a stream, and finally hit "the wall" a 300-yard straight climb of about 30 degrees about half a mile from the finish. So, while I understand your point (true, I wasn't in traveling clothes with boots and a cloak, etc.), I stand by that I could still move faster than 10 feet per second. :) [/QUOTE]
