They'll travel faster by road and wont be slowed down waiting for the foot (or wagons Wed, 30 Jul 2008 19:51:35 GMT Jonathan McCalmont http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Turkhanate/message/91 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Turkhanate/message/91 Ooops... I think it might be worth moving at two speeds. We can take the trade goods and the cash and some troops and transport them down the river and then Wed, 30 Jul 2008 17:56:07 GMT tomhayllar http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Turkhanate/message/90 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Turkhanate/message/90 I suggest that my new character, Madrazim the Blue, rent the following ships in Mentamil and sail them down the Mentamari. We can transport our mercenaries and Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:47:31 GMT tomhayllar http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Turkhanate/message/89 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Turkhanate/message/89 Its 2d a year + danger money according to the wiki (the price for a good officer).

As I just said to Tom, if he's necessarily going to leave then it might well be worth cutting our losses with Djan and letting him leave.

You ungrateful gits! In regards to Djan, as described by Dan he's an exiled lord. He is biding his time, travelling the world collecting money and Thu, 24 Jul 2008 08:42:33 GMT Jonathan McCalmont http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Turkhanate/message/85 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Turkhanate/message/85 Just a thought, but Dan mentioned that the new keep (Hamarfall Keep?
