Hmmm... to ride a horse or not to ride a horse... that is a question...

I guess, for me, I always envsioned us all either walking along the caravan or on horses that drew the caravan. After all, it's hard for me to see Koric or Dagmar riding a horse!

I guess there's nothing saying one or another thru the campaign. As for carrying capacity, FreeXenon, I have another 50 lbs of weight Koric can carry before even reaching light load. If we need to split off from the caravan, I can do the heavy lifting for the group.

Pelor's weapon of choice, a heavy mace, is attached to his belt. Koric also wears a hooded black robe, which he oftentimes uses to obscure his face.

Thanks Harvey!
As long as nothing eats my war pony (OF DOOOM!!) I should be OK! We will see how long that takes. But when it (inevitably does) happen I do apprecitate the offer and I will take you up on it. Would you mind if I bought a saddle for you?? Just kidding!

I was concerned before but now I'm afraid of you. I can only imagine the horror you will be when you take barabarian. A force to be reckoned with.

"Go ahead. Go ahead and say Pelor is pantiwaist. I dare ya!!"
"Go ahead. Pick on the halfling. I dare ya!!"

 

[Mr. Prez]

You don't have a horse unless you bought one, which you are perfectly able to do from any of the traders on the route, just tell me, and pay for it and you have a horse! You are currently either walking or in the wagon of a friendly caravaner. Oh, and I would apprecitate it if all questions were to be posted here, it saves me the trouble of dissecting your posts. Don't worry about the ones already on there.

OOC: Can I have a rough idea as to how large the caravan is please?

OOC: I second that request. Is it possible to get the number of wagons and number of people in it? Also, is there a cook assigned to the caravan?

Oh...I hadn't really thought of it... There are about a hundred and fifty (is that reasonable) in about fifty wagons, most are families, but many are traders. About 55% Men 35% Women 10% Children. 94% human, 3% Halfling, 3% Other. I pulled the percents out of nowhere. Basically mostly humans, a halfling family and a couple of "Others." None of this counts the party.
And the wagons take care of themselves, most of the men are married and the families are alright, the traders know what they're doing on the road. Only some of the single men would need any help. As an aside, they are mostly fairly young couples with no more than a few children.

Could you guys wrap up the conversations? I'm sorry to rush you, but if we can get done talking, I can move forward into the first encounter and you'll get a chance to talk after. If anyone has a problem and would prefer to continue dialogue, let me know and I'll leave it alone. In fact, I'm not going forward untill everyone posts when it's ok to go ahead.
Thanks.

"Go ahead. Go ahead and say Pelor is pantiwaist. I dare ya!!"
"Go ahead. Pick on the halfling. I dare ya!!"

lol. Yeah, he is definitely the Heavy Tank of the party...

As for me, Mr. Prez, I was assuming that combat would basically announce itself, whether we were in conversation or not

 

[FreeXenon]

Downtime...

I'm basically with Harvey.
Combat and Orks's wait for no man or woman (sorry Felicity)

"Excuse us pathetic adventuring morsels. Could we interrupt your conversation to ambush you! Thank you!!"

I think most of us are conversing until something happens. We are taking advantage of the character developement between the carnage.

 

[Wilphe]

I'm ready to be ambushed!

 

[reddist]

Bring it on, Mr. Prez!

 

[Mavnn]

Egads! A polite Orc ambush.

"Excuse me? Have you finished yet?"

I'm with the others - if there's action to be had, bring it on: conversation or no.

 

[Mavnn]

So, I'm looking at my stats and Koric's.

And I'm thinking: anyone else feel like an egg with a sledgehammer? Either of us could be laid low by a single strike of one of our own blows, without even needing to crit...
