So 10 miles per day, so around 12 days, figuring they don't stop and rest for a day or two anywhere along the way. Hmmm.... I'd been letting them travel a good bit faster than that when they were traveling along a river, through countryside that was used by the local (friendly) tribes-folk, so they could follow hunting trails and had a good guide to avoid getting lost. I was actually presuming that a lot of the time they were rafting down the river, only traveling by land when they needed to go around river obstacles. They were making about 20-25 miles per day that way. At this point, they've left the tribal lands behind, and are on their own as far as getting lost goes. Although, since they're skirting the edge of a magically-created barren zone, they do have a very clear-cut terrain feature to keep them on track. If they veer too far that way, I'll whip out my "barrens encounter tables" and we'll have fun that way! And in fact, they may choose to plunge into the barrens specifically. If so, they're going to discover that travel there is still VERY slow, because of dust, debris, potential pockets of poison gas and sinkholes, and of course, monsters.</blockquote>
