[pnpgm] Game Update #7

[John Haight]

Horses -

   It shouldn't be. And the decision to travel by horse wasn't clear until the last Update (#7), a week ago. Prior to that there was still debate on travel methods with the last last option listed being ship travel without a clear decision made as of Update #6 (Unless I'm missing something in the IC posted section, which I've just looked over - it ended with character thoughts on the ship (Time 1:20 Novehas the 15th).

   Hence Arawn's decision would take place in the aftermath of that, on the 15th (as this would have been when the decision was somehow made clear). He would have done so then and arrived on the 16th with horse(s) in tow. As the 'plan' would have been hashed out on the 15th this would have allowed Arawn to 'discuss' this with the party then, which shouldn't be a problem since there are actions in Update #7 going back to Novehas 15.


   Regardless, switching out Horses for any in the party is a simple matter for Arawn as he can Transmute and Translocate a considerable number should steeds need to be switched out. So if anyone wants to switch out just let me know so Arawn can take care of it as he'll be doing so for himself.

John,

It might be a bit late for any changes on horses or outfitting.  We all had considerable time to make arrangements, or at least plan for them.  That cart has already left the carriage house.

All,

As for the issue about the WHII's, Kiet's horse is not overburdened and he brought his other horse for that exact reason...to carry the minor stuff (no insult meant for Fremea!).  Kiet worked hard to earn that horse, both monetarily as well as in time and skills learned, and has plans for it.  Kiet humbly, but firmly, declines the offer for a different mount.

Novehas 15:


   Arawn shared a warm smile in response to Pyandalgor's rough introduction. Still curious as to an effective means of mundane communication Arawn spoke a few words in a variety of tongues to determine if the hunter spoke any of them -


   Aratad, Ba'ru, Cerulean, Climan, Dawanan, Dechan, Donaran, Fomorian, Helva, Kameri, Katai, Lemasan, Marentian, Salaqi, Teosan, Taolisan, Elf or Faerry Sidh, Vassa, and Zen'da

Novehas 15:


   When it became clear that an overland trip by horseback was in order Arawn assessed both conveyence and supplies for the makeshift caravan.


   "If there's a need to purchase swift steeds, equipment and rations for the journey I'm willing to assist," Arawn offered to the companions, both old and new.



OOC:  Horses, Feed and Rations


   It looks like the slowest steeds are the War Horse II's (a shift in item placement will remove the encumbered condition from Arawn's steed). If we're looking to move faster than that Arawn can assist with upgrading the horses. For those riding WH II's, let me know what you decide.


   Arawn will purchase rations and feed for the individuals who do not have travel rations or feed for their horses, including his own. He'll purchase enough to cover the estimated duration of the trip to Ticasi.


Novehas 16:

   Arawn arrived early the morning of departure, his grey clad form an indistinct shadow in the pre-dawn light. Greeting the mistress of the manor, house guest, and staff he then settled in to await the arrival of the others. One by one he greeted each arrival with a warm smile and a handclasp before retiring back to a quiet corner, his gaze cast through a nearby window towards the distant horizon. Only during breakfast did he again speak up, a prayer in the Sidh tongue asking for blessings upon both meal and the journey itself.

   Though quiet his demeanor was warm, approachable, and generous, an almost surreal, dreamlike aura exuding from the alfar. His brilliant blue-green eyes reminded one of the sea and shone with kindness, complimenting a striking and youthful face framed by a shaggy mane of midnight hair and he wore the trimmed grey robes of a druid. Though at first glance seemingly simple in design his clothing and gear were of the finest quality, elegant in their simplicity, the cut and markings gracefully done.


   Catching Kiet's comment, Arawn seemed impassive but for the subtle dart of his eyes and an almost imperceptible smile. As both Z'leyra and Unali began introductions the alfar patiently awaited the opportunity before addressing the newcomers.

   "It's a pleasure to see all of you this morning," he said, making sure to make eye contact with each individual.

   "For those whom I may have failed to greet last night, my name is Arawn and, among other things, I'm a druid of the ancient ways. Please, let me know if I may be of assistance in any way."

   When the dockmaster called out the charge Arawn paid his share, waiting to see if any were in need before coming to their aid.


Encumberance:

   Unali, Arawn can assist with encumberance as he has magical bags to reduce weight. Let me know if you're interested or Arawn can help with purchasing a pack horse.
