Seems pretty fast to us, but it's less than half their top speed. Anyway, if we knew how big their patrol route was, we could work out how long it takes them to complete it once...

So if the patrol is following the route they will be forced to turn around in about 2 to 3 hours (assuming they don't fly straight towards an airship, Victoria Town, or Cassandraia.OOC: Aether-diesel engines are extremely fuel efficient.  Aerodynes use combustion engines while the crawlers and runners use the equivalent of hybrid-electric engines/motors.[/sblock]...assuming they go the same speed all the way around. That could let us slip through while they're off elsewhere.""The problem is finding out what their route is without getting spotted.""I'm not a fan of volunteering to walk into the blast furnace, but ... well, I'm pretty good at hiding, though hell if I know how I'd be able to keep up with them long enough to see the extent of the route."Aeaxeos Civic Knowledge: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2779775/" target="_blank">1d20+7=20</a> --> Success[sblock=Aeaxeos Civic Knowledge]The Treaty of Erebus of 361 After Cataclysm, the sphere of influence of each of the co-signing city states extends only  450 miles.  This means that they are extremely limited in how far they can send out their patrols and their agents.It should also be noted that in compliance to this treaty Aeaxeos was able to view a map of the various patrol routes that Victoria Town uses flies along a perimeter that is establish at a distance of about 150 miles from the city-state.  The only patrols that fly outside that zone tend to follow each of the two main trade routes out of Victoria town or are airship based.  The patrols tend to be sent out on each of the patrols every three to four hours.[/sblock]Meanwhile"A prisoner should not keep a radio on her person."Shocked, Rasputina called out.

"He's the ringleader of the merchant's revolt, and it was his incompetent hasty decision to bypass Union protocols when authorizing that caravan that lead to it becoming stranded.  Incompetent decisions like that was why the Great Martian Union was established.  Without our order, Victoria Town would suffer the same fate as Elysium."  OOC: Unfortunately, the caravan hasn't slowed down since before entering into the ravine that lead into the canyon.</blockquote>
