<b>Subject:</b> [pnpgm] UPDATE # 75 - Raddok packs his gear, seeking advice</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt">
<div class="PlainText"><br>
Raddok plans to take many of his items with him. Since he's unsure about whether horses will be available or not, he tries to be carefully selective for either option. He makes up his list & asks the others what he won't need. Here is the list & information
he presented:<br>
<br>
If no-horse option (all has to be carried): total weight of his listed items = 61.2# [or round up to 61.5#; Raddok can carry 104 (+35)# max]<br>
<br>
--all clothing (one set worn: tunic, pants, leather gloves, belt, boots; extra in backrack: tunic, pants, leather hat, leather helmet, cowl II)
<br>
--armor/weapons (worn basically all the time, except might remove helmet when in an inn): leather armor, new metal helmet (loot), mace & banded shield, F. dagger<br>
--3 small pouches: couple days' coins, flint & steel (+5 extra flints), extra wick for oil lantern in belt pouch (other 2 small pouches hidden in clothing with most of coins<br>
-- 1 skin II with water, carried on shoulder strap<br>
<br>
-----takes BACKRACK loaded with: (extra clothing mentioned above, & items below)<br>
<br>
--10FP travel rations, 8FP cheese, 4FP dried fruit (apricots)<br>
--bedroll, 2 extra blankets, oil lantern & 8 oz metal flask of oil, Healing Kit, 100' rope, 24' cord (for ties,etc), one-man tent & poles, 5 tent stakes, 3 sacks (can hold 10(20)# each), a soapstone, 5 torches<br>
--Climbing gear: Grappling hook, 50' fine rope, climber's hammer, 10 iron spikes <br>
---<br>
<br>
If able to have horse, then takes saddle, bridle, leather barding, great sword/sheath - an additional 36.5 # --- & this extra weight will require that the great sword & loaded backrack will have to go in a wagon or on packhorse<br>
<br>
Weight totals: carried gear, including the loaded backrack = 57.2#, which Raddok can carry easily. But his own horse can only carry a max of 240(80)# & total weight of rider, horse & rider's gear & backrack = 265.5#, over the animal's fighting limit, and wearing
to the poor beast, so some gear should be shifted to a wagon or packhorse - division to be determined at recommendation of party's leaders. Loaded backrack as planned weighs 27.6#. Without the backrack, his remaining gear weighs 29.6#, a light load for Raddok.<br>
<br>
If party leader tell him to carry less, they will need to be specific, such as leaving food, extra clothing, bedding etc behind. Raddok will be far less willing to leave any climbing gear, torches, oil lamp, Healing kit & such behind. He's resigned to leaving
his great sword behind, unless someone wants him to have it as backup weapon for someone who could use it.<br>
<br>
He figures he doesn't really need the food or sleeping supplies, unless they end up having to run for their lives, or to hide from currently unknown enemies, but adds them to his list, almost to try to know/discover what his new companions are expecting to
happen & what they usually carry on such ventures as this one.<br>
