Welcome, Rend.  :)

Opera does the same thing, too.  :)

Welcome to the wonderfully attractive group of Anauroch, where we have several that would love to welcome you.  Just try not to talk to Tuar that much.

Yeah, what she said.  :)




_{I've been saying that a lot lately, haven't I?}

You certainly have.  :)  I wonder why that is...

Probably because I realize that you're always right.  ;)

*sighs happily*     You are such a good, smart man.  :)

Thanks.  :)

300 more arena XPs for me!  :)  Thanks, Lysande.  :)

Congratulations, Joseph!  :)

I really thought you had it, Lys.  Did the die roller decide it hates you too?  It's been terrible to me for a little over a month now. :P

The dice roller decided it loves Joseph. He made so many good rolls, it was pointless to continue... especially since I really have to pack now, we're going to leave tomorrow at 8am and it's 9pm now.

Man I wish you told me that before I said I'd fight him!  :P

Good luck packing.  :)

Sure - I beat the Will Save I needed a 15 or higher to pass against Lysande, but fail the Fortitude Save I'd pass on a 7 or higher against Aelynia.  :P

*bows down and kisses Aelynia's feet*  All hail the queen of the arena!  :)

Whatever!  :P

Aw, okay then.  :(  *goes to sit alone in the corner*

You watch a lot of American movies, right?  So surely you've seen that "whatever" can mean different things...in this case it means, "I clearly don't believe that but it's nice that you think so."

*doesn't really believe that, sits there and is sad*

I'm not going to argue about it, let Tuar cheer you up when he gets back.

How can I cheer him up?  Fight him and give him another 300 xp?

Winning always cheers me up, I just don't usually win.  :)

Hey, as it is, I'm eligible to joing LU - how much more cheering up do I need?  :D

All,

Rend asked for this, and it seemed like a good idea to post for everyone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Temperatures on average range up to severe heat (111 to 140) this time of year in middle Anaurouch (late Elient) in midday. The southern Sword can get into the extreme range (141 to 180).

Usually as long as travelling activity is restricted to early and late hours say 0600-1000 and 1600-2000 (which we have been doing, in general), and you wear desert robes and light armor or less, I have been allowing 1 gallon per day (horses require 2 gal per day). The Endurance feat can also help. Significant activity, wearing heavier armor or a heavy load, or not taking minimal heat protection precautions increases that to 2 or even 3 gallons per day.

I believe I have ruled as follows (though it may not be completely realistic) - native Bedine require half the normal human amount, and camels require half as much as horses (i.e 1 gallon per day).  So, usually a minimum of 2 gallons per day will get camel and rider through a normal day.

You can purchase 5 or 10 gallon water casks (filled) designed to be carried by camel or packhorses at 4 gp and 8 gp respectively (though giving them heavy loads will increase their water requirement).  Also you can get a 2 gallon waterskin for 4 gp.  Other heat protection or desert gear may be available (i.e. parasol, sand tube, distillation kit, etc.)

Not meeting your water requirements may make you subject to CON checks, fatigue, and non-lethal damage.  Once you are fatigued from dehydration, damage becomes lethal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assume you have at least enough food and water for 3-5 days travel, assuming Aelynia Th'wil casts create water a couple times a day.  Ha'laam's pack camel carries 4 5-gallon casks, plus his own camel carries 2 5-gallon casks.

Honestly, I don't wan't to bog things down in 'water-math', but I would like it to be somewhat of a survival issue.  Overall, you should be ok unless something disrupts your water stores/supply. Feel free to dispute or ask questions.

Do you mean Lanka casting create water?  :)  *sure wishes she could cast it herself*

An intial tally

Alister = 1 gal
 Paladin mount = none, as long as he can head back to the Celestial fields daily

Aelynia = 1 gal
 mount = ??

Joseph = 1 gal
 mount = ??

Glim (NPC) = 1 gal
 horse = 2 gal

Lanka = 1 gal
 Zadda Blimth (camel) = 1 gal
 Dog companion = 0.5 gal

Lysande = 1 gal
 Horse = 2 gal

Tuar = 1 gal
 Dom (giant bird) = none, as long as he has food with some moisture

Rend = 1 gal
  Camel = 1 gal

Ha'laam (NPC) = 0.5 gal
  Camel #1 = 1 gal
  Camel #2 = 1 gal

Total is 8.5 gal per day minimum for the people
         8.5+??? per day minimum for the mounts
(not sure about Joseph's and Aelynia's mounts, the bird familiars/companions are minimal, as long as some water is available)

So, about 17-20 gallons per day.  Any questions/complaints?
