Without a horse how many items can i carry?

01:06, Today: Secret Roll: Garl Ligoosh rolled 7 using 2d6.  Magical Lore.

In reply to Stormrider Sureheart (msg # 301):

[OOC: a backpack can carry ten items, with a saddlebag (on a horse) you can carry twice as much)]

In reply to Garl Ligoosh (msg # 302):

Garl remembers just that Saint Zenus was some kind of ascetic miracle worker of the past.

OOC: The 10 items exclude weapons and armour right?

In reply to Stormrider Sureheart (msg # 305):

[OOC: the ten items are the items in your backpack, excluding what you wear (for example the armor) and what you have in hand, like a weapon). AFF2 doesn't goo too much into encumbrance calculations of each single, but prefer staying pretty light on this issue]

OOC: means I can basically put 10 meals in backpack if my rope is slung on my belt and my bedroll is placed on top of the backpack?

"Perhaps the nomad horsemen will be able to help us once they arrive, they may know more of these lands ?" His beer arrives and Robustous drank it down deeply, ordering another before the waitress left.

[OOC: no, that's cheating ;) Let's stay realistic.]

Thats how we go on hikes... hahahaha
okie 9 meals for me... I have no rope..
Thats 8 due to the elven rations.

[OOC: if you manage to buy a horse, you can easily carry twice as much]

Storm buys 8meals first and stores them in his pack

How much does he pay?

In reply to Stormrider Sureheart (msg # 312):

You can pay the packed meals 5 Silver Schilling each.

Storm pays 4 crowns and stows the items in his pack.

Will you wait for the nomads selling horses or will you go before? If you go, where will you head to?

In reply to The Director (msg # 315):

I think we wait for the nomads as I have no idea where to go.

Let's wait ;)
I have only 96 crowns left. Hopefully horses are 50 crowns

Waiting seems sensible to me.  Besides, there is little room in my backpack, so I’d like to remain near the food for a while.

Two days pass swiftly, and you recover from the hardness and the injuries of your adventure [OOC: you recover up to 12 points of STAMINA and one point of LUCK, but you spend two gold coins a day at the local inn] then you wake up in the morning and find out that there are a few more guests at the Inn, coming from nearby settlements and that that some sort of horse fair is taking place at the crossroad in the centre of the village. A group of about twenty nomadic Kugic horsemen have temporarily settled here with their yurts and are selling their superb horses.

These horses are trained to perfection and all have special features that make them unique and precious allies when fighting or travelling. You may try to buy some horses, despite the rather high prices demanded by the nomads. However, the Kugic will accept any magical artefact (except for Potions and alchemical components) in exchange for a horse. The horses for sale are:

Horse          Horse’s Features                                                             GC
KHARAL     +1 Attack Strength                                                           210
ULAAN       May run at blazing speed, but only for a limited time    180
DORNOD   -1 on foes Damage Table when the PC is hit                  200
TEMUGI    +1 Damage with the lance                                                160
TUVA        +2 Attacks                                                                         165

If you can't afford their best stock or anyway don't want to spend so much, you can always buy some more common war horse at 120 GC or a draft horse at 50 GC.

The villagers suggest you should also buy a tent to protect you from the cold nights of the north and a tent big enough for a single person comes at 4 GC (4 places in a backpack), while for two is at 6 GC (6 places in a backpack). They don't have bigger ones at the moment, unless you want to ask for Kugics' yurts that can easily accommodate for all of you (and more), but need a draft horse dedicated to carrying them. [OOC: in the warmth of a tent you can remove STAMINA while resting during the night]

Once you have taken your decisions and done your trade, please let me know where you want to go. From Udram you can go back west from where you came and take the road north or you can go south.

Storm buys a tent for two and a draft horse and 4 provisions.

60 crowns should cover?

Robustous will ask for news from the Kugics.

In reply to Stormrider Sureheart (msg # 320):

Storm buys what he wanted with no problem.

In reply to Robustous Clovetrue (msg # 321):

The Kugics obviously don't like talking with strangers, but you understand that they are worried about black magic becoming stronger and stronger over this region, but they don't know what to do about it. They very seldom go north beyond this village.

I’ll save my money.  Not that I have enough to meet those prices, anyhow.

I guess it means we go north? Shall we?
