Siege in the Stonespike Mountains (Boddynock Judging)

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Good point--if they will carry us in a Light Load or under, we should probably get horses. Otherwise, unless anyone has Medium or heavier armour, we're probably better off going on foot and doing a forced march)

Hi, folks.

I've been keeping an eye on the thread title to see if one of the other judges volunteered, since I'm pretty busy at the moment, but seeing as no-one else has, I'll sit in on this one. I know that there's a plethora of judges in the game itself but I think it's important to stick by the rules we set for other DMs - and to be seen to do so.

It'll take me a day or so to catch up.

OOC: Do we know how far it is to the fortress?

You could consult a map, but you've got the general impression it is a few hundred miles away. Your impression could be significantly in error, though.

OOC: Iggy has +7 to his K-geography. Not only do we have the two most powerful clerics in this group, but we may have the two most knowledgable PCs. Either way, it looks like we'll have to buy a horse. Hopefully Iggy has enough cash for that. I still haven't updated his CS for shopping anyway. Need to get on that...

Charlarn of Phyrah: male human cleric 6/ranger 2

OOC: Didn't realize it'd be that far. Charlarn would rather get horses.

 

[Patlin]

ooc: OK, I've had a look at our much maligned map and I'm estimating that it's about 120 miles as the bird flies from Medibaria to Brimbor, and about 150 miles to the mountain fort from where you are now. Now that the DM knows, our geology wizzes know too!

Horses would be a reasonable way to go, although magical alternatives are also available.

 

[Patlin]

Is anyone other than Charlarn going to express an opinion, and if not is someone going to buy these horses?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Zaeryl has no plans to buy a horse after his bad experiences with the last one--if other people do so, he is reasonably confident that he can keep up with the speed of horses by doing a bit of a forced march)
