The DM: The morning of May 23rd, the temperature is consistently cool, the sky features high, streaking clouds and a hint of blue. A moderate breeze is blowing from the northwest. The cart you climb aboard into smells, but the green hay that's been heaped upon it mitigates the odour somewhat. A large, rotund 19 year old girl, Greta, is driving; she is friendly but a bit dense, with a conversation not at all tainted with education.
- For a mile you travel on a fair cobbled road, before turning right at a fork and heading off on a cart track; this lasts nearly seven miles, taking you through recently planted hay fields and past gleaming lakes. The wind freshens and the sky develops into a dull blue, with a few puffy clouds. Steadily you make 4 mi. an hour. After two and a half hours, you reach a crossroads that you recognize, as once you met officials of Stavanger here before heading off again for Mimmarudla. You turn north onto a cobblestone road, heading to Stavanger. It is about 10:30 in the morning.
Pandred: I quietly hum the Åsmund Frægdegjevar as we bounce along.
- The DM: I listen.
The DM: The party will reach Stavanger about one o'clock in the afternoon. The fresh breeze continues and the wind swings towards north by north west, bringing a strong odor of salt water to the air. The clouds in the sky thicken, so that the blue sky appears briefly.
- What does the party want to do in Stavanger?
Stavanger
Vafrandir: We need to go about passage to Treborg. Is someone willing to stay with the baggage while I inquire about this?
The DM: Freight is 9 g.p. per ton of goods to be moved, or 2,000 lbs, per 24 hr period or part thereof. Each living being counts as 2 tons. As the wind is blowing straight from Treborg, you'll be close-hauled all the way unless it changes. That means, 26-28 hrs. of travel.
Pandred: That's 128gp in person-bodies. Vafrandir, with the boat page gone you've got the information on all our other cargo. There would also be a mule and a donkey. Wiki puts average donkey weight at about 500lbs, Mule closer to 900. So just under a ton for the animals.
