..... is that Halfliings have Dusk Vision and that Fredrico would be confident that this ability of Drog and Seg Kargar are sufficient for any warnings of suspicious activity to the sides or behind the 3rd wagon they are driving, since it will be a much slower pace.

Actually, the truth of the matter is that Fredrico knows that this particular pair of Halflings have an uncanny ability to see in the dark up to 60 feet (Dark Vision) which is why he has them driving the last wagon.

Fredrico may or may not disclose this information, but Drog and Seg Kargar would be able to 'see' any Kobald archers once they were in range to unleash any arrows!

They have proven this ability a number of times during the journey to Sherrill and Fredrico may not be sharing this info merely because he has become so accustomed to this fact that it does not even cross his mind to explain his reasoning for not being too concerned about the safety of the last wagon should the guards be on foot.

So Another Consideration is if you 3 decide to keep pressing on towards Lasch, what possible order would be leading the wagons?

Fredrico will want his remaining guards to do just that, serve as guards even on foot and would rather the Dwarf and Elf be leading the procession with their sight abilities, comfortable that Drog and Seg Kargar have the rear under proper surveillance ... and quite possibly would want Sir Cal to ride alongside his wagon and Rextugenous to walk alongside the wagon driven by Lars.

This way there would be a line of communication established from front to back (Cal and Rex being on the left side of the wagon and able to converse with Fredrico and Lars respectively).

T_O brings up some valid points:

... thus would lead to a few other thoughts...

such as my movement being only 20ft/round( so slow...) however, unamoured it's doubled (yay monk abilities), which means I wouldn't slow the movement of the caravan...
The caravan will be moving forward at a walking pace and I am also ruling that since each character is a level 5 that somewhere in your back history each of you has dealt with night marches (ie sleepless nights) during some type of battle or forced march/travel.

I would think that Sir Cal would be leading Orion to give his horse a bit of a rest, but that is up to Sir Cal and Orion to work out on their own!

however it may be too early on to be that trusting... especially of an elf (sorry, can't rightly help that)... and, what with poison arrows behind us, without the protection of my armour....
This is a Great Plot Hook to force the Dwarf and Elf to overcome their uneasiness or basic racial mistrust of one another!

Again, each of you is level 5 and quite possibly have dealt with other races ... at least Toraad probably would have and has to get to know Danamar to gain some trust for his own peace of mind for future encounters!

You may want to keep wearing that armor until you get to Lasch ... just because you are a guard and Fredrico would expect his guards to remain properly armed and attired for the completion of the journey!

to move on. I agree that the kobold behind us is the bigger issue. Also with Cal's background of long patrols with the knights would not be a problem. Since we would be at a walking pace I would elect to walk Orion (at least for a while). I have a question, is there an armed force like a city guard or something at Lasch to come to our aid if we got a message to them?

..... there are some kind of Patrols from Lasch along the Forest of Frie borders.

Not quite sure how you would get a message sent there since you are hired to guard the Caravan (?) ... and Fredrico may not take it too kindly if you suggested that you are willing to ride ahead to get help.

yea for going to the forest, boo for that idea of a messenger. slap that person i shall.

There are really No Stupid Questions or Suggestions!

Some work, some work much better and some do not work at all in the framework of the game!

Kudos to you for giving the suggestion a shot ... then shooting the suggestion!

Press on definitely. And Danamar will naturally take the lead as suggested. Actually he'll be quite happy about it.

Go ahead and make a Post in the game thread as instructed and then we will see where the adventure takes us!

If someone else would like to spark the game thread...

alas, I've three finals between now and Saturday night; should be able to contribute then.

Cheers!

..... I have been busy as well so in another day or two I will take a look at where we are and then post for Rextugenous and wait for everyone else to follow suit as their schedules allow!

In the works should have done by Fri or Sat or maybe sooner

..... I will be waiting until Thursday to collect my thoughts and work on a post for Rextugenous!

This week is terribly busy for me. I'm hard pushed to get a post in before the end of it. Please do not hold back the posts because of me. I can always backpost later, right?

..... seems to be held up because everyone is busy Raven so just get your posts in as soon as you can (seems like the weekend for everyone!)

I have to see about getting mine done too!

I was a little to optimistic, had a roof leak on Thursday which has thrown me off a bit. Will be by Sunday Sorry guys:-/
