Yeah, the horses have saddles and reins and stuff.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Now, for the map:<br/>(http://i.imgur.com/Z10Nnwi.png)<br/>The light green hexes are plains (with the occasional convenient woods for discreet trysts, but otherwise mostly grassland suitable for farming), and the dark green hex is thick forest. The party is currently in the hex marked as "Oleg's Trading Post", and the little square indicator is coloured blue to show that it is explored and inhabited by friendly NPCs. The other little squares are white indicating that they haven't been explored yet.<br/><br/>(For Blinkin - plains to the west, forest to the southwest, plains to the southeast and east.)<br/><br/>You can<strong>travel</strong>into a hex which is moving into it as quickly as possible, but not exploring it. On horseback it generally takes 1/3 of the daylight hours to travel into a plains hex and 2/3 to travel into other terrain.<br/><br/>You can<strong>explore</strong>into a hex which is moving methodically into it and mapping it out, thus exploring it. On horseback it generally takes all of the daylight hours to move into a new hex and explore it.<br/><br/>Please vote (or otherwise decide) on the direction and whether it is travel or exploration in the OOC thread. This information will be reproduced in the IC thread as well.
