Howdy gang,<br>
s<br>
A supplement update.<br>
<br>
I figure why waste a week of you guys sitting
waiting for me.<br>
Well I did some quick math. If my math is
right it is 132<br>
hexes (give or take a few) to city of contact from
Dark Lands.<br>
That is 2,640 miles of coastline. I may be
wrong but when<br>
I do the numbers for sailing will have exact
figures.<br>
<br>
At the very least the merchant ship will go 34 miles
at the<br>
very best 64 miles. This is with added boost
from magic that<br>
Ki'ama will mention later (see I forgot to mention
it in the<br>
update).<br>
<br>
Assuming everyday has poor winds it would take 78
days to<br>
get there. Assuming great winds then its 41
days. This<br>
should be plenty for figuring out a good cover
story. In<br>
that time we can do some partial IBT events.
On a average<br>
that is about 53 days.<br>
<br>
Let's assume 30 days of "stuff to do".
This gives us a margin<br>
of days between. Keep in mind it will be all
on board so<br>
limited in some things you can do. But if you want
to practice<br>
skills or magic let me know. Basically IBT
stuff but with<br>
the limits of a ship. At times the horses will be
allowed ashore<br>
for exercise.<br>
<br>
When I do the numbers I'll have exact figures.
But let's<br>
assume a month of travel for IBT purposes. The
other<br>
days for ease of bookkeeping will be thrown away.
Consider<br>
those days sick days, bad weather days, bad wave
days, crew<br>
is tired of the activity, etc. This seems the
best fair<br>
and quickest way to do it.<br>
<br>
So while I'm gone if you want to work on ship board
activities<br>
let me know. The crew will be wary of magic
but since they<br>
sail back and forth this far north are not scared of
it. You<br>
will not need to cast magic to help the ship as I'll
do that<br>
with the HE's help. So just plan what you want
to do.<br>
<br>
Keep in mind some tasks like hunting, city stuff is
out. It<br>
will be a month of activity on the ship. So
using a forge to<br>
make the nifty enchanted item is out. Fire
doesn't mix well<br>
on ships. There will be short spurts into
villages for food<br>
and supplies or to walk the horses. But not
enough to merit<br>
a day's skill training.<br>
<br>
If no one did magic I could get this done in a
couple days<br>
after I get back. But for magic it might be a
bit longer.<br>
If you cast magic keep in mind the ship and those
limits.<br>
Fireball isn't so wise to practice on a ship.<br>
<br>
If you don't want to do anything that's fine as
well.<br>
There is still a link to the IBT hints/tips on the
old<br>
game site via the link on the current game site.
The<br>
IBT link is at bottom of page for adventure #3.<br>
<br>
I figure I'll get this all done now rather than after
I<br>
get back and will allow you a full week (and more)
to<br>
work on it. Might as well get a head's start.<br>
<br>
This is how I'll pad it<br>
<br>
Poor Winds Average Winds
Good Winds<br>
78 days
54 days 42 days<br>
<br>
<br>
24 days lost 12 days lost
6 days lost<br>
30 days-IBT 30 days IBT
30 days IBT<br>
24 days lost 12 days lost
6 days lost<br>
<br>
<br>
So just use Day 1, 2...14..15...29..30 that
sort of thing.<br>
I'll figure out the exact route and times
later for my<br>
purposes.<br>
<br>
Example<br>
<br>
<br>
Practice Dagger combat Stances - Fight -
Dagger - 21 days<br>
Practice Katai language
- 9 days<br>
<br>
Day ...<br>
Day 12 - Cast Levitation x2 EL1, Invisibility
EL0...<br>
Day ...<br>
<br>
Keep in mind for magic failure rules for
repeats. The<br>
lost days will be good to get everyone back
up to full<br>
mana though if good winds you may want to
buffer it by<br>
doing spells for 3 weeks and last week
resting IMHO.<br>
<br>
Keep in mind I've not determined random
encounters while<br>
sailing. There could and likely will be
a combat or two<br>
if things go bad. Monsters, pirates,
customs agents, mean wagon<br>
salesman and the like.<br>
<br>
There that and the magic items to take/leave
is enough homework<br>
for you guys. :) I know last time
I was away a week nothing<br>
really got done only 3 whole posts. So
use the time as you<br>
see fit. This will speed things.
It might be a month before<br>
we get to Katai (in our real term not game
time). So anything<br>
to help speed the process will help.
Doing as little IBT<br>
will also speed up things but that is your
choice. If you<br>
do nothing though let me know so I can mark
it. Thanks.<br>
<br>
Note: Any experience from this point on in IBT or future combats will<br>
earn CPs but they will not be spent till after the adventure. It<br>
is too hard to update 10+ sheets till the end. :)<br>
<br>
