If you were to consider a 4 mph walk a good pace ( some say this is high and
3 is better ). You would be going 23 feet a round. So if you round that down
to 20 feet a round ( plate speed ) and say you only travel 8 hours of the day
( 12 hours rest and watches + Breaking camp/setting up + midday break and
additional things = 16 hours ) you could go 27 miles in a day. Round that
down some more for terrain not already counted in those 4 non-resting hours
to 25 mpd you could go 150 miles in a week ( 6 days a week ).

You have plenty of rest. 8+ hours a day. 4 additional hours of static rest
during watches plus stops for midday breaks and whatnot.

No matter what there already is a divorce in the time lines. That is
what I am trying to keep track of. On that notee if you are going to
GM in the weekend coming up I would like any minimum time you would like
or need before I say what the dates should be ( I guess this should also
include a max time you can let slide ). As the timelines have been tight
make sure that players aren't just assuming that they are at full strenght
if there hasn't been enough time.

Geleia isn't behind at all currently in fact it is 2 days ahead of Centralia
( as our adventure ended ). I don't have the day lenght used by the Rougtero
adventure yet.

I am still confused slightly by the "jump". Who is jumping? Geleia got made
and some "jumping" has occured already. But there are still those in Rougtero
who haven't moved or aren't going to move but just exist in the background
of things as Dan runs the newbies. And when the newbies ends where are they
going to be? ( don't answer that Dan as it is a plot thing some of us do
not want to hear ).
