:ooc: This is the last leg of our 3-leg journey.

Leg Three will start just north of the Beacon Tower and travel north into the forest until it leads into the mountains to the peak the Elves call Saer Aegas [S. Bitter Mountain].

Distance = 50 miles (17 leagues) - map below.

Terrain = Daunting x5, so adjusted distance is 250 miles

Speed (on foot) = 20 miles per day

TOTAL = 13 days dependent on your decision of course; with 4 Fatigue tests at TN 20; may roll Lore test TN 14 for advantage dice

Advantage Die - Arbogast 1/1

The departure from the Beacon Tower can be marked November 8th 2952 T.A. You guys will reach the mountains at the end of the month.

*Arbogast has the trait Mirkwood Lore, but the extent of his knowledge is weak here. I am requiring a roll of at least a TN 8 on the Feat die to win him 1 advantage dice

Morirúsë will not participate in Lore tests unless demanded by true need

:ooc: You guys get to choose who the target of the Hazard will be. I would suggest Grimbeorn, as he has not suffered any challenges from the travels, but you all let me know.

Lastly, I am allowing the 1 Explore test for the length of the journey to see if you guys were able to find comfortable camps to reduce the effects of Fatigue and Endurance loss.


Quote from: Optional Rule: Sleeping in the RoughThis optional rule makes recovery of Weariness a little easier based on an Explore roll and degree of success.

In the Journey rules as stated, a hero will recover 1 Fatigue per night, after a sound rest in a safe place. Instead, the Loremaster may allow the heroes to roll an Explore test – the TN will be based on the regional difficulty. If successful, the heroes have found themselves a safe and comfortable place to sleep each night, through the journey.

On a success, the hero may reduce their overall Fatigue gain by 2 (on a great success by 3, and on an extraordinary success by 4 or their base Body attribute, whichever is higher).

EDIT:  I'm for giving Grimbeorn a hazard to deal with - we can let him get some AP marked off on his sheet.
