[OOC: It should be several days' march to Phandalin from Neverwinter, but I'm not sure any our characters know that, other than Brachnuss -- who apparently has driven carts and wagons a lot of the time in the past. If Brachnuss wants to tell the rest of the party anything he knows about distances, then I suspect he easily could. Our characters might even converse about such things; we don't have to wait until we're in a ducal court seeking aid before we start discussing things.]
