My threat title was perhaps a bit vague, allow me to clarify somewhat. While it's true that my experience of 4E isn't all that great, the rest of the players have been going at it for something over three months. I believe one of them told me August or September, of 2009. In conclusion, I'm reasonably sure that the players are more in tune as to what is possible or capable than I am. How capable of a DM I am remains to be seen. I might start a story hour, If I like how things turn out. I'm already working on the documenting the whole escapade.On to more serious business. While I realize that multiple encounters (before an extended rest) are quite possible in something like a dungeon, how does this really work in an overland environment?Here's what I mean: Let's assume the adventuring party is en route from A to Remote location B, and the whole process would take a week of overland travel. Although this is the time of war, I think it's rather improbable to encounter that much opposition in their travels. Maybe I should seek clarification of the rules. Sometimes I'm a bit slow on the uptake. An example:Encounter 1: Party travels a few miles, run across a skirmish between some orcs and some human military. After assisting the troops, they continue on their way. Encounter 2: After a few hours, the adventurers notice smoke in the distance, and rush off to see what it is, when lo-and-behold, a goblin horde is terrorizing and ransacking a quaint village. Now, considering that they aren't in fight-after-fight, would their overland travel count as an extended rest, or should I really thing of rest along the lines of sleeping?Somehow, I feel as if I've answered my own question. My apologies if these things all seem to be crystal clear to you wonderful gurus of knowledge. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> However, I always like to be sure I understand something correctly before throwing it out there for the PCs.</blockquote>
