Looks good!

I might add that 3.5 miles/hour is "walking pace". Long distance running is 7 miles/hour and short distance running is 14 miles/hour, but those are comparatively quite fatiguing.

In other words, there is room for short bursts of speed. But it will be tiring for the horses.

I'm looking at a couple of new characters. I hope to add them to the group fairly soon.

Anyone interested in taking over an old character.  We've acquired a number of NPCs.

Both are preparing new characters. Which likely will mean that some of the NPCs will be written out of the main story at some point.

I'm having problems accessing the Internet from home. Posting may be a little slow.

I forgot to take the wheels on the wagon into account, so there's a lot more room in the wagon before the horses are forced to run as slowly as the riding horses will have to.

I forgot that I had given the official title of Ward Master to those that have the duties of mayor. But I don't see a problem of using the title of mayor to refer to them.

Hiya Everybody!

Heya, Jarl!

Greetings, thee of longish name. Please don't expect to be addressed directly by such as I type entirely too many letters as it is.
Ok, not really.
Howdy Jarl.

I've updated the list of stuff purchased so that it will cover Jarl too.

Are you planning on having a guard or will all of you sleep the entire night?

By my count there is nine characters in the heroes group, not counting the giant. Thus each character could stand watch for an hour and everyone would get eight hours of sleep.

If you set such a schedule, Kar will insist that neither he nor Sarah take the last two hours of the watch.

If the rest of you have no preference, I could determine the order at random too.

Random is fine by me.

Who has the best Night Vision?  Olven will suggest that they cover the overnight watches.  If not, he has Night Vision 2.

Olven's preference:

Middle of the night (if there aren't many with Night Vision).
First Watch
Last Watch

Ah being Qualinesti, I'd have night vision 5!

I misscalculated, there's only eight of you, not counting the giant. So if you don't want the giant to stand a watch on his own, you'd have to sleep/guard for 10 hours, unless you can distinguis periods that are 15-30 minutes in length.

Thus either five of you, perhaps on a roatating schedule unless there are volunteers to stand watch every night, take two hour watches. Or two of you take a second watch, including two hour long watches.

Only Jarl and Olven have NV.

I feel duty bound to take extra watches, even though I don't see in the dark.

How about this schedule? One hour each for everyone except D'aden and Owain. And 8-9 hours sleep for everyone.

Tarhall
Owain x2
Guard
Jarl
Olven
Sarah
Kar
D'aden x2

sounds good

Update on how much stuff you still have in the wagon.

Group Basics; 32 meals; 7 wineskins; 1 lantern; 1 pint of oil; 9 torches; 2 personal basics; 2 blanket; 20 sheets of paper; Scribe’s Kit; 22 days worth of horse feed; 1 crowbar; 1 shovel

Man, I wish I hadn't taken Incurious as a disadvantage.  =)

I've just bought GURPS Low-Tech 4e!

Grats!

Yeah, it looks pretty nice, but I don't have the funds to cover buying it just yet.
