Kell will ride with the group. It is safer and easier and much faster.   Keep it simple.  No Ba'ru is fine. There will be time later.


Some thoughts on plains and water and such.   Isn't there a lot of water on the plains naturally?  The Zen'da use horses and don't have to haul water.  Depending on the plains, it may be very very wet.  Think Iowa. If not that much water, then think Kansas or Montana - there is still plenty of water for the animals.  There are 2 reasons for saying this - 1. To simplify things and not focus on planning, but the adventure.  I'd rather spend more time on the adventuring/rpging than planning for water in a pbem. This is just me.    2. It may fit.  With all the zen'da horses, they have to have a lot of water. Lots of streams and small ponds and rivers. I never thought of it as a desert plains (think Arizona) but as the Midwest type of plains.
        There.  I said my peace. :)

Kell will stay and Z's manor house, since she offered.  During the two weeks he brings 12 bottles of wine to help stock her cellar, good wine.  He can offer to help with other tasks around the house.

IBT is in process.  Some change from the first version I sent but not a ton.

[Wow.  Total lack of RPGing in there.]
