Kiss of Darkness: Part 1--A Hint of Shadow

[Bront]

OOC: How many days walk?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: 300 miles--about 22 hours for a horse at a canter, 44 for you guys walking, so less than three days at 16 hours of travel a day)

 

[Bront]

OOC: 3 days doesn't seem too bad, unless I have the resources to arange faster travel we can do that.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Okay, so just post something in character saying you leave on foot along the road to the capital )

 

[Bront]

"We should prepare for a 3 day journy, and we'll likely arive late, so gather whatever you may need," Val says to the others, as they pack things up.

Val will gather her things, take care of the bill, and thank the staff before she is ready to leave.

OOC: still waiting for the OK on Val before I post her in the RG Same with Whinoah.

I don't think so, we can only walk 3 miles per hour at best for any sustained distance (edit: you've got us going at ~6.8 mph), slower if someone is weighed down, so that would be 100 hours or more on foot... plus we can only move for 8 hours a day without needing to make Con checks (overland movement PH pg.164).

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: I have you double-moving at a forced march for 16 hours. Assuming you make the successively difficult Concentration checks, you can do that in 3 days. Assuming you don't--well, we'll see what happens Horses make it easier, admittedly)

 

[Bront]

OOC: Um, I wasn't asking at a forced march... That changes things... You still haven't commented on if she has ways to arange faster travel...

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: She doesn't really have the spending money at the moment to pay for transportation--375 for light horses. With no forced march and not hustling an unreasonable distance, it is up to 11 days to cover that ground (unleashed took the PH estimate which rounds down 3.6 miles or so to 3 miles). Less with a somewhat forced march)

 

[unleashed]

OOC: The PH estimate allows for short breaks during each hour (also the basic speed is 3.4 mph before allowing for those short breaks, not 3.6 mph). We'd never manage to hustle for 16 hours, due to the nonlethal damage automatically caused during such a lengthy period (you'd automatically take 127 hp of nonlethal damage following the RAW over 8 hours). The same for a forced march as I know Baeleth can't possibly forced march for much more than 5 hours at a walking pace before he automatically starts to fail the Constitution checks, and his chances of passing the earlier ones are lessthan 50/50, so he'll eventually pass out due to nonlethal damage. I mean you've got us going at a sub 4 hour pace to run a marathon and expect the characters to keep it up for 16 hours...I don't think so.
