OOC:
Distance will be based mostly on visibility. With clear sight, 100 feet or more. In areas with a lot of obstruction -- trees, brush, buildings, etc. -- it may drop to 20-30 feet. Darkness, fog, and so on will reduce distance too.

It is a forest with brush, I would give you line of sight at 40'. To keep ahead of the party, Nara isn't in stealth mode. Local brush and such is not slowing movement.

Party speed is 25. Nara is 30 normally but in stealth mode he would be 20'.

OOC:
20' it is. The party can maintain distance.
Mar 29, 2023 3:55 am
Nara: Fairly sure after hours of travel that with you in stealth mode that the party is going to lose track of you. They will not be keeping a 20' distance from you and you will have to break stealth to keep up. So how far of the 40' would you like to be traveling ahead. That of course is not in stealth.

With hours of travel there is no way that you can maintain stealth keep up with the party. Stealth means that soon or later they will lose sight of you and can't detect you and you can't keep up in stealth with the party.

Even if the party slows to 20', they would again still lose you but at least you could keep up. That is the only way it would work. Party would have to slow to 20' movement. Meaning it would take 6 days instead of 5 days to arrive. 4 days trave was based on 30' movement. Party is moving 25 at the fastest so it is 5 days to arrive.

Irwin considers the pattern of movement, "May I suggest we travel in roughly a diamond shape,"

"such as wolves and alpha predators travel. This should maximise our arcs of responsibility, while allowing us to move effectively."

Sorry I have been a bit quiet, just in a block of very important days at work. Shall be through it in the next couple of days.

OOC:
Isn't that up to them to determine if they maintain distance and pacing?
Mar 29, 2023 5:30 am
Well. I will let you all decide. Hopefully by the end of this month.

OOC:
let us move at a regular pace that will not disadvantage our passive perception, stealth may just delay our travel. I believe Joran will probably just storm on anyway screaming "Stealth be damned!" lol

I'm see definitely incapable of stealth

OOC:
To be fair, your character doesn't need to be good at stealth. The point is to let someone who is run point so the group can be aware of dangers without fighting every single thing we run across.

@Alordis Does Joran have a familiar/find familiar - A hawk up high would make a good long range scout.
Mar 29, 2023 2:25 pm
OOC:

I do not- refruitentry specifically asked for no companions or familiar so I eschewed it.

I feel like we are facing some analysis paralysis here- we would be well served by picking any marching order and getting to it at this point or we'll never get out of the inn.

OOC:
Yeah, one of the rules was no extras. No familiars. No companions, sidekicks, steel defenders, any of it.

I feel like we had one, and lost it.

Dohhh! I guess since that rule would have had zero impact on my build I didnt even consider it!

The impatient Dwarf is already out the door and marching :)

Irwin sees Joran leave and smiles, "Well that’s our cue then. Nara take point, once we hit the forest line move quietly. The rest of us will match your pace as best as we can." He grabs one final mouthful of food before getting his gear and following the Dwarf.
