Well Locky didnt actually do much either! But I am not complaining, Locky has sort of got to be a Kender for a while. I am quite happy, I actually prefer this to the modules!

Great job Jadedm

Okay, so what exactly is the plan here? I'm a little lost as to what exactly is going on. Do you plan on putting the kender on a boat to Kendermore? Why do you need to get hired on with another caravan for cover? Cover from what?

Yes we plan on sending them on a boat to Kendermore.

The plan is that if we are part of a caravan heading away from this place, when we have Malika then people will ask less questions, and we will be less hassled. No one asks that many questions of guards they met on the road.

But where do you plan on heading in that caravan? I figured the best plan would be to just take Malika and head to the mountains as fast as they can. They have the horses to make the escape, or at least I thought they did.

That would work just as well. Do we have enough horsesand rations? not we need some. We will pay i guess.

In the stats, we are one horse short (Remember Wittchen is still in the Khan's stables). I don't remember if Imani sold the horse she was given by Syriana's "saviours" of if it is just not mentioned in the stats.

With Malika, we're eight people and nine animals. We have 124 meals in dry rations, so that lasts us a little more than a week. We have 50 meals of fodder, so without grazing, that gives us only two days. We have containers for 180 pints = 22,5 gallons of water, and someone among us who can create water almost at will, depending on her spell choices.

So I think that if we have a mount for Malika, we can set off.

Imani was going to sell it, but you persuaded Horizon to give it to Babushka instead, when you realized that it would weigh down one horse too much for both Babushka and Locky to share it.

Oh, right. So this means we do not have enough horses for a quick escape.

How difficult would it be to find their way on their own? Maybe the idea to join a caravan out of town isn't that bad, if Malika's identity can be concealed. This should be possible given the fact that women in this area travel heavily veiled. Perhaps two ladies (Imani and Malika), their servants (Babushka and Locky) and bodyguards (Jerrard, Ulster and Thuskar) can join a caravan, if we can think of a suitable story? We can all bring our own supplies, I guess a caravan would stop where some grazing and water are available.

The question here to ask, though, is take a caravan where? If you are going to head back to Shrentak, then that means passing through Mehmet's territory. And a caravan will likely stop at every town along the way. In which case, it's not Malika's identity you need to worry about being discovered, it's the rest of the party's.

Maybe we should all get on the damn boat with the kender!

Did everyone just suddenly lose interest in this game?

No, not at all.

I was thinking about how we move forward, could I suggest we FF to later?
Locky and Co. can agree a way to Help and we get passage and sell the horses?

That's fine by me. Fast forward to when?

The weather takes mad swings from hot to cool and back again, and it's the "end-of-the-schoolyear" frenzy for my kids... it keeps me from thinking straight, somehow. And this game is the least "automatic".

Its the one i feel most connected to, don't want to do half considered posts myself.

Can we sell the horses, book passage on a ship, get Malika some suitable clothes, and pay up the rooms?

Then move to early evening? Enough time to prepare to go, and to get ready to free her?

The Kender... They leave me with an all too real stab of regret.
