  [1] - Has access to chain but due to heat I assume not wearing
        during normal riding.  Access to helmet as well.  But not
        assumed worn daily.

  [2] - Chain not worn due to heat. 

  [3] - Assume dress can be taken off for normal clothing and ease of
        movement (flying).  Due to dress and normal clothing assume
        leather armor not worn due to heat inside wagon.  Other weapons
        can be hidden in wagon inside compartment for access. 

  [4] - While driving can still get away with a helmet as "protection"
        from a fall.  While driving hard to have sheathed Tulwar but
        could store above driver position on roof storage rack.  But
        dagger assumed worn constantly.

  [5] - Servants could get away with Leather but one with Ring Mail
        could be seen as rare.  So assuming leather is worn. In driver
        mode wouldn't have access to other gear.

  [6] - To fill role Strie'bog would not have longbow on back but his
        horse as entertainers don't typically have such weapons.

  [7] - Shu would not wear armor due to heat inside wagon on any typical
        riding day.

  [8] - Too hot to wear armor most days inside wagon.

  [9] - May not have access to bow or weapons depeneding on riding location.

  [10]- "Educated" Healer could get away with wearing leather armor on
        the road to proetect oneself from bandits.  Dagger is assumed
        but other weapons could be suspicious for role.

  * Final comments

    Clothing is what I will assume at any one time.  Same for armor
    and weapons.  For quick access.  For other items you will have
    to do some digging to get them.  For those riding in the wagon
    weapons can be on seats or hidden in compartments.  Will assume
    that magic items are stored in wagon hidden compartments and not
    on any horses or in top storage.  Many items can be stored on top
    of the wagon and will assume some items there.  This will be mainly
    the least used items or camping gear.  Stuff used often enough will
    be on horses.

    The wagon rear seat is dangerous to ride on as it was called the
    "chinaman" seat as it was cheap.  It has ropes but is a dusty
    seat.

    If you wish to change your role position to say something else
    in generic terms like "rear guard" instead of forward/flank for
    example then let me know.  If you wish to define a skill use let
    me know by the deadline.

    For Kiet/Kell will assume half day driving time (6 hours off and
    6 hours on during the 12 hour riding day ccycle][.  For encounters
    will assume 50% chance for who is driving and who is on horse.  Will
    do like Kell morning/Kiet afternoon/Kiet morning/Kell afternoon
    type of work schedule unless stated otherwise.

    I will not concern myself with food.   I will take off rations for
    characters.  Hunting is possible and can supplement for meat meat.
    But near Katai province could be dangerous to hunt.

    If need any changes to above let me know.
