Hello all,

I will be away this weekend without internet access, so unfortunately I will not be able to post until Sunday afternoon. Basically, Koric's plan is to help out with guarding the caravan at night (if needed), but still making sure he gets his shut eye to prepare for the morning.

Thanks,
Harvey

Have a good weekend!!
I should be able to post atleast once this weekend, probably Saturday. Considering my characters status - it probably will not be necessary.

Voadam: Dagmar should be back on Monday as well...

We can kind of break until Sunday/Monday'ish. This will give our fearless DM a chance to really sock it to us on our first encounter and ensure we have both tanks present - and maybe even Spycat(??). Dealing with the night time, caravan master and watches and stuff should give us plenty to hold us over until monday with a little input from Mr. Prez.

Whatcha guys think??

BTW this is my 50th post. Thank you, Thank you!!
Crothian, watch out!!!

 

[Mr. Prez]

Alright, Spycat, if you are still checking the thread occasionally, I've extended your deadline untill the first round of battle.

Some folks might not want to read this next spoiler; it doesn't reall matter, and it's nothing earth-shattering, but if prefer to be totally in the dark, don't read it.

Spoiler

Battle will be very soon (game time).

 

[Mr. Prez]

Alrighty, I have a rough map drawn. If someone will tell me about how long a day's march is in miles or km, I'll put a key in. Assume for now that the distance from Steelbrush to Haven is about a day's march. I'll add more places as they are (1) mentioned or (2) explored by you or (3) you are high enough level for the next adventure I have planned. If you have any place you want added, let me know.

Map

You should post between now and oh...say, lunch tomorrow if you need to do any interaction before the caravan stops for the night.

Ever seen a pissed monkey in glasses? Me neither...

Hee hee! And Felicity always thought her "home" forest was so much... bigger...

But she IS a little... ya know... confused

[Mr. Prez]

Well, how much larger do you think it should be? Let me know and I will make it larger.

 

[reddist]

Oh heck, I don't really mind. I was just ribbin' ya. In my head it was large enough for several small tribes of barbarian-types and humanoids to live under the "rule" of a dominant Elf clan. How that translates into square miles is anyones's guess.

I'm easy

The Narativist in me says the Caravan moves at speed of plot

The Simulationist says "it depends on the terrain, how careful they are being, how hard they are on stragglers and how much time they spend breaking and striking camp - corralling the wagons takes a long time, then you have to consider what type of grease they are using on the wheels and whether the carts are drawn by horses or oxen; and if it is horses it depends on the type, breed, condition and whether they are grain or grass fed.......[zzzzzzzzzz]"

The Gamist in me says 16 miles a day as that how fast wagons go on a Forest trail or HighWay, 12mph if it is Hilly.

I think Franky has a pony because he paid for one out of his starting cash

Pony

Yea, I paid for it the pony. I needed it because of my massive strength of 11.

"Fear me, I say! Fear me NOW!! Grrr!!!" Notice the flexing halfling . No, no.. over there...
"Fear the halfling!! FEAR the halfling, I say!!"

Carrying what I have, bedroll and so on would just put me into a medium load, If I remember correctly. I am already slow enough. Oi!!

I was thinking about picking up a 12 foot pole, a 10' ladder, and a portable 10' pit and thought it might be a little funny to see me carying all of that. Mind you I probably could put the pole and ladder in the pit and carry it with the handle created by the remainder of hte pole sticking out.
