[John Haight]

"So, shall we get the horses now or when we're read to leave town?", Arawn asked, looking to Dorhak.

Forgot to mention that, without his backrack & great sword, Raddok's weight, with what he is wearing/carrying totals 233.6#, heavy, but within his horse's load parameters of 240(80)#. (Raddok's horse is a max-sized warhorse II, trained to stay in place with a dropped rein, purchased purposely to manage Raddok's size/weight.)

    "If we need the horses let me know,"
 Arawn informed the party. "I can translocate them here
 when we need them. Just give me a heads
 up."

 seeking advice





 Raddok plans to take many of his items with him. Since
 he's unsure about whether horses will be available or
 not, he tries to be carefully selective for either option.
 He makes up his list & asks the others what he won't
 need. Here is the list & information
  he presented:



 If no-horse option (all has to be carried): total weight of
 his listed items = 61.2# [or round up to 61.5#; Raddok can
 carry 104 (+35)# max]



 --all clothing (one set worn: tunic, pants, leather gloves,
 belt, boots; extra in backrack: tunic, pants, leather hat,
 leather helmet, cowl II)


 --armor/weapons (worn basically all the time, except might
 remove helmet when in an inn): leather armor, new metal
 helmet (loot), mace & banded shield, F. dagger

 --3 small pouches: couple days' coins, flint & steel
 (+5 extra flints), extra wick for oil lantern in belt pouch
 (other 2 small pouches hidden in clothing with most of
 coins

 -- 1 skin II with water, carried on shoulder strap



 -----takes BACKRACK loaded with: (extra clothing mentioned
 above, & items below)



 --10FP travel rations, 8FP cheese, 4FP dried fruit
 (apricots)

 --bedroll, 2 extra blankets, oil lantern & 8 oz metal
 flask of oil, Healing Kit, 100' rope, 24' cord (for
 ties,etc), one-man tent & poles, 5 tent stakes, 3 sacks
 (can hold 10(20)# each), a soapstone, 5 torches

 --Climbing gear: Grappling hook, 50' fine rope,
 climber's hammer, 10 iron spikes

         ---



 If able to have horse, then takes saddle, bridle, leather
 barding, great sword/sheath  - an additional 36.5 # ---
 & this extra weight will require that the great sword
 & loaded backrack will have to go in a wagon or on
 packhorse



 Weight totals: carried gear, including the loaded backrack =
 57.2#, which Raddok can carry easily. But his own horse can
 only carry a max of 240(80)# & total weight of rider,
 horse & rider's gear & backrack = 265.5#, over
 the animal's fighting limit, and wearing
  to the poor beast, so some gear should be shifted to a
 wagon or packhorse - division to be determined at
 recommendation of party's leaders. Loaded backrack as
 planned weighs 27.6#. Without the backrack, his remaining
 gear weighs 29.6#, a light load for Raddok.



 If party leader tell him to carry less, they will need to be
 specific, such as leaving food, extra clothing, bedding etc
 behind. Raddok will be far less willing to leave any
 climbing gear, torches, oil lamp, Healing kit & such
 behind. He's resigned to leaving
  his great sword behind, unless someone wants him to have it
 as backup weapon for someone who could use it.



 He figures he doesn't really need the  food or sleeping
 supplies, unless they end up having to run for their lives,
 or to hide from currently unknown enemies, but adds them to
 his list, almost to try to know/discover what his new
 companions are expecting to
  happen & what they usually carry on such ventures as
 this one.
