Post from Z'leyra on actions.. From: Alex Koponen Message-ID: <55DF6C92.8090607@mosquitonet.com> Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2015 12:01:22 -0800 Subject: [pnpgm] SOPs Standard Operating Procedures Each day Z'leyra will ask Corona to scout ahead and to inform her of what lies ahead, especially anything likely to be hazardous such as monsters, groups of people set up in ambush positions, et cetera. Around each campsite will also be scouted. Corona may advise about animals near the road that may be worth hunting. While Corona is welcome to the jerky Z'leyra has packed it is likely that rabbits and other small prey animals will provide most of his food. When needed loads will be redistributed amongst the horses to keep the party from slowing below the speed of the slowest horse because of encumbrance. The necklace that has been enchanted for learning languages will be shared around the party. First to get everyone speaking Marentian, then equally to grant folks chances to learn other languages known by party members. I suggest everyone also learn Salaqi and Donaran. [Since its enchantment is based on the Tongues spell the chance to learn to Max EL is the wearer's Will+Empathy.] As a skilled herbalist Z'leyra keeps an eye out for worthwhile herbs near the path. Each night the party will either stop at an inn where Z'leyra will pay for a common room (folks may pay to upgrade to private rooms if they wish) and stabling of the horses including feeding them hay and water, or camp with a eye to not being too obvious from the road. [Exception Thaliba.] The campfire will surrounded by rocks and horses hobbled or tied to stay near. Each night Z'leyra will use her Watchful Sleep brooch and sleep. Since only those actually awake and on watch will likely be wearing more than cloth armor the other party members are to each take a watch such that two folks are up and armored at a time. Typically one newbie and an old hand or two old hands. _______________________________________________ pnpgm mailing list pnpgm@list.powersandperils.org http://www.powersandperils.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnpgm
