Thank you for the gifts,  DM!!

I've been playing this lovely have for about 40 years, so i really appreciate this

It's much appreciated.  But I'm going to have to think hard about it.

Also, gives a thumbs up to Mr. Gygax up in heaven. :)

We all salute the Godfather of D&D

Thanks Big Boss! I put my point on Constitution.

Thanks!

Thanks BB and Gary!

What is the moonlight situation?  If we fly at night will there be enough light to at least tell when we clear the forest?

Happy 50th to one of the greatest games created and congratulations to the maker Gary Gygax.

Thank you for the bump Big Boss.

Yeah, the moonlight situation is likely to affect Amara's thoughts on the subject...

Looking up on my FR Calendar, the Full Moon was 5 days ago. It won't happen again for another 23 days.

So, if the phases repeat every 28 days, then we're still approaching the Waning Gibbous.  Which is approximately 75%-80% the light of a full moon.

That might be enough.

Or I can Teleport back to the Tower and fly up with a beacon.

Very likely could be enough - I agree.

In reply to Myarra (msg # 13):

Agreed.

Sorry for my absence, I've been sick.  Being sick sucks.

Of course, coming back from being sick to find a dragon coming after you is ... not ideal.

What Dragon? :)

I've been under the weather as well. Side hurts when I take deep breaths.

We're about to get a lesson in the age old directive "Never Split The Party"

And now we know the ship can move really fast.

OK, I did a bit of updating with Game Map T. The Blue Arrow pointing SOUTH is where the ship used to be.

The White Circle below that is the Stone Statue and the Northern Stone of Balance.

The RED X below "OF" is where Rufus's hideout is (Which hasn't been used since the game was called "The Wish") and that is 25 miles from the Village of Daak. So, I calculated the distance from the ship to Daak being 60+ miles.

I seem to remember there being something here that said the Forest was 120 miles across from L/R, but I must agree that 60 up/down seems about right.

I checked the scale on the official map (one fingernail = 100 miles) and therefore determined that the forest is 200 miles N/S.  Then after reading BB's post went back and realized that I had zoomed in on the forest AFTER checking the scale so I was doing the apples-to-oranges comparison.

Yes, I agree on the 60 miles.  I'll go back and modify my post because what Myarra said is completely wrong.
