The crew is immediately grateful for the extra waterskins. The day proves easy travel, following the roadway. Raven Elk and Taylar are a bit preoccupied with the new travel and only notice the common birds, insects, and lizards. Maka, at one point, thinks he has located a varmint trail crossing the road. After following it for a bit, he returns to the crew having shot a rabbit.  Vittero, with a bit of luck, notices another varmint trail, but after following it for a short distance comes upon long discarded remains of several varmints. He informs the others of his find and conveys that he thinks some animal that is hunting these varmints must be hidden close by. Adisakti, also with a bit of luck, finds another path belonging to, what appears to be, a larger varmint, something about twice the size of the rabbit Maka shot. When it is discovered, Vittero asks,"Anyone want to investigate this varmint kill zone?"Later when Adisakti mentions the path he located, Vittero asks,"Anyone else want to look into this? That one little rabbit is not much meat."[ooc]At this point, the most significant factor in encounter results is luck. Make posts concerning any specific desires for the discoveries or any unmentioned daily activity. If no activity is desired, simply comment "move on" in LINE chat.[/ooc][ooc]Standard travel over road or plains is 10 hours a day. At this pace, it will take the crew 10 days, or 100 hours to reach Boga City. A small caravan only travels 8 hours a day, which would take 12 and a half days to cover the same distance.A forced march is 12 hours a day, which would take 8 and a 1/3 days to cover the distance but risks a 10% chance of injury to people and animals.A driving march is 14 hours a day, which would take just over 7 days to cover the distance but risks a 20% chance of injury to people and animals.[/ooc]</blockquote>
