Just keep doubling the cost to get more volume. But also remember that water is pretty heavy, 8 lbs per gallon.

Oh, I realize that, but its a neccesity in the desert. Especially for a horse.
A light warhorse can carry up to 460 lbs at medium encumbrance. 20 gallons, enough for Abdul and Sirrocco, for 5 days. Would weigh 160 lbs, Abdul himself weighs 140 lbs, for 300 lbs. Leaving 160 lbs for the rest of his gear.

Unless everyone wants to travel at 1/2 speed. In that case Abdul can keep 11 'persons' supplied with food and water, with a take 10, on survival. In this case a horse counts as 3 'persons', while a small creature such as a Nessarine would count as '1/2 person', as per the create food and water spell.

But no guarantees, on what he considers edible, folks.

I'm not trying to burst any bubbles here but there is a reason why horses are not predominant in desert environments. Maybe you should go with a camel?

I have no issues with the rate of travel, though this could change IC, but Samira, my character doesn't own a mount or well much of any mundane equipment that your character will consider worth owning, we talking about silk dresses, jewelry, and other objects that would be nearly useless in the desert…

I do have good news considering her flamekissed nature she doesn’t need as much water as the rest of the species so at least she’s not a total pain in the neck.

Ohhhh, I imagine Samira isn't going to consider it editable.

Isida, question for ya, it doesn't suggest any age changes in age in the half-nymph template, then again it never suggests that feys age and/or die of old age, do you want to tinker with the ageing of Samira? (Who’s already using the half-elf table.) I’m sort of happy where it is now, but I don’t want to do something that would affect your world in a way you don’t want too.

Also, ah any word on the email I sent? :\

Have you figured out how she escaped the harem, yet?

The problems with a camel, are raiders usually use horses and I can't find out how much water a camel needs. All it says is they're noted for going long distances without it.

Camels are known for thier ability to travel long distances without food or water.

Big help that.

Hmm... I don't recall saying that raiders usually used horses. I said they often steal them, but because they need more water and better food than camels, they don't always keep them. Now, the Nessarine usually have ponies, and they do breed some horses, but they also have access to oases that have belonged to the tribes for generation.

As for camels, I say they can go four times as long as a horse without food or water. Whee!

So that works out to 3 'persons' every four days? Or 7 'persons' per 4 with rider. Ok, I'll stick with my 4 waterskins. That would be 3 at 50 miles, and one at 25. That's not not bad, considering as a Desert Ranger he can keep that pace across the open desert.

She hasn't... (I'm sure Isida can manage a way to allow her to escape.)

Luckily she has her ring.
