Ummm, Chris cant talk, but he would not be very nutritious, either!

I'm at Move 4 with my pack.  I suspect we'll be ok at that pace since most of us are at or around that.

In reply to Dareos Madrigar (msg # 37):

5he calculation was for a donkey cart.

What's the Move of a donkey cart, and do we have one?

African or European?

There are no listing for Donkey Cart (in the GURPS books I checked)... but extrapolating from Ox Cart and 2 Horse wagon in DF 16, I figure probably Move 2 or 3 (median between an Ox Cart's Move 1 and Horse Wagon's 4).


And no, we weren't issued a cart.  However should we find the last group's cart it's free loot.

Okay, so we're still moving at slightly faster than "donkey cart speed."

That's good.

that's if the Narrator's Donkey Carts are Move 2 or 3... and not higher.  Donkey's can go up to Move 5.  ;)


Sorry, I was looking at the Stability Rating of a 2 horse wagon.  A horse drawn wagon's top speed is 8 (though I suspect that's an unladen wagon)...

That's an unladen wagon dragged by horses at top speed, which is only sustainable for short periods of time.

"Cruising speed" of animal drawn vehicles is 75% of max (speed 6 for a horse drawn wagon).

Given that a Donkey, unencumbered, not pulling a wagon, has a Move of 5, I don't think it's quite that fast!

In fact, looking it up, horses have a Move of 8.

So a donkey-drawn cart's cruising speed would be 75% of Move 5, or 3.75.

So Azrael's medium encumbrance walking speed is the same as the cruising speed of a donkey cart.

Yup, you both crawl along at 3...  :P

A perfectly reasonable speed. *folds arms*

It most certainly is.

(Stenet's at move 3, 4 if Jednesa carries his pack.)

"By Sethygg's will, we shall arrive as swiftly as we need to."


Sorry, sometimes Dareos' zealot preachings overwhelm the first O of OOC.

She's happy too, he'll just have to tie to the back of her harness (that's what all the buckles and small d-rings are for).  The big d-rings are for pulling the cart if we find it and no donkeys.



Or if we need to eat the donkeys.  Mmmmm...  fresh donkey...

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 49):

I believe there is a not so fresh donkey on the road to Shevia...

We better not need to go that far for a meal...

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 51):

Sorry about  that. It was a dqy. This is a new one.

Don't know if anyone of you read Critical Hits ( http://www.critical-hits.com/ ) or not, but I was just linked to it... the author multiplexer ( http://www.critical-hits.com/blog/author/multiplexer/ ) has a wicked cynical sense of humor and writing.  I'm definitely falling in love with her style.

And with this there are only two plot threads running (at current) that I haven't put up a Who's Who list for.  I'll get to them shortly.

Jareth, I think it's just a crowded bit of corridor.

Probably.  But I figured I should ask just in case.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 56):

Not sure if Celestials shed light, but his staff would be much brighter in any case. Narrator?

Unless you have a different write up Celestials are supposed to have:

Perks: Celestial Nimbus* [1]

* Celestial Nimbus: You’re engulfed in a constant glow. This is as bright as a torch, eliminates darkness penalties in a two yard radius, and can’t be concealed.




Which makes Celestials a really poor choice for Thief and other sneaksy Templates...






I suspect either the Narrator forgot you're playing a Celestial (it happens) or something is dampening your brightness.

I am not as bright as I should be? Now you sound like my teachers...and wife!

Maybe your halo burned out.  I hear that can happen.
