Could I get a marching order? It will be mostly single file from here. Unless otherwise noted Idril will be leading the goat.

[sastaz]

Probably the pathfinder in front, right? Turnip will fall back, last or next to last.

What about Algrim (front), Arngeir, Turnip, Idril + goat?

[shaidar]

Sounds good to me

[GreyWolfVT]

works for me.

[Pulpatoon]

Looks good to me, but the goat is insisting on being first. We should probably ignore him.

[Rex]

If you think there may be land mines, good idea to let him go first.

[GreyWolfVT]

well you know what a goat is right?

Greatest of all time

so I say we see how great it really is.

[Rex]

I should have thought of it at the same time as the marching order, but Watch order and length?

[shaidar]

As there are only four of us I'm guessing 2hr or 2.5hr watches each?

How does sleeping and fatigue work? Is 6-7.5 hours enough and is the potential break in the middle an issue?

[Rex]

Fatigue recovers at a rate of 1 point per 20 minutes of rest (sitting around a campfire for example ) or 1 point per 10 minutes of sleep. Fatigue recovery is usually not an issue. Injuries are a different story, that can take weeks.

[shaidar]

Sorry, I should have explained more clearly, I meant fatigue in a general sense from not getting enough sleep.

This by the way makes before bed a great time to use Psionic Talents (or Magic Spells if you had a Mage).

I usually use Stamina as a general guide. The higher your Stamina the longer you can go without sleep and you probably need less. That said in most cases I will just use a minimum of 6 hours unless recovering from injuries in which case I use 8 hours sleep plus 4 hours of rest with no extreme physical exertion allowed in order to recover.

Yup, Arngeir will be casting Eynwif's Apple before retiring for the next few nights.

Arngeir's contacts are up.

Arngeirs Contacts

You need to select one as a Best friend. Their relationship changes to best friend and their loyalty changes to 70+ your d20 roll for that contact. I suggest you don't choose your Anoan close friend as she would change from a close friend to a best friend and her Loyalty would not change. I would go with the mercenary or cleric as they could be more useful then the Thrall. The cleric's loyalty would be 86, which is very high. But they are most likely in Orbaal and less likely to be as useful as the traveling Mercenary who could show up anywhere, his loyalty would be 74. Your call.

I will get to everyone else's as I have time, maybe later today.

[shaidar]

OK, I think I'll go for the mercenary and get some names sorted soon.

[Rex]

Great. I edited my post and updated him to your best friend.

I can copy my stuff from the character creation thread in a few hours. If you approve them, I'll name them as well.

[shaidar]

Great. I edited my post and updated him to your best friend.

Cool, here are the names:

Mercenary: Magnús Hjörleifsson
Cleric: Einar Baltasarsson
Cousin: Cadoc Finn
Anoa: Áine

[Rex]

Go ahead Sastaz. Any help is welcome. It is crazy hot here today (upper 80's F). So working a few minutes outdoors, then coming in to cool off. Editing Arngeir's contacts now.
