As the weather turns hotter, we look for signs that the herds will move south to a cooler climate....the wather has ben dry.....storm clouds often seen in the distance but raraely making it to us....the grasses are starting to brown.....supplies are running low (big surprise), as we have not raided a caravan or made a trip to the Point to re-supply......fresh fruit is extremely low....as are vegetables and suls.....the vulo that remain after the stampeded are starting to lay eggs again, however we will not have our usual supply until the flock is repenished.....
Now is the time to begin filling water barrels in preparation for dry days ahead.....check the wagons....make sure the wheels are in good shape, the axles greased...the brakes working.....check the traces for the bosk that will be pulling the wagons....
All women, slave and Free alike should be helping with the preparation of jerky as we must preserve what meat we can not eat....
All slaves and Free tending the commissary area and cooking have been advised to keep a water bota with them at all times.....the medical staff checks on them frequentlylooking for signs of dehydration or heat exhaustion...
(OOC note - any attempts to re-supply must be done realistically...all scripts should be saved and submitted to a Council member or the Ubar for approval prior to the supplies being accepted for use)

ai Mistress read and understood
gets ready for some very late nights hehehehe
-
mutters.......knowing my friends have decided its too damn hot to stay put any longer.....the walks have gotten longer...
-
~reads this over and nods~ noted and will help where I can, Sis... also I might make up a batch or two of the peppermint candies like I did last time, it might help keep those out on long patrols hydrated to a point, and not have to drink so much water as they would normally do... it's a thought, that I thought I would throw out...
~heads back to her wagon to figure out how things are going to be arranged, as sometime between now and then I will most likely be giving birth~
-
*groans under My breath and nods* Will get started immediately, lashing rain barrels, repairing bosk leads, packing bottled wines away for safe travel, etc. ... and stashing an extra medical kit under the wagon seat before everything gets crazy.
Also, there are a few fresh fruits still left over in the Vintner's freight wagon; not enough to be of real use for winemaking, but enough to make a few bottles of juice for rehydrating people coming in out of the sun. I'll get on to juicing those immediately so that they can be delivered before things get hectic. (Muse or Sah... should I send those to the Commissary or the Med wagon?)

~reads and ponders, thinking, didn't we just get finished migrating here not that long ago..........damn bosk that won't stay put for long~
Will begin preparations when I can
-
i have already started making jerky and stocking up on water. i am looking forward to my first migration (sort of, lol) after hearing some of the stories, i am sure i will have a different opinion after, but for now it is a new exciting challenge
-
yes Mistress
-
Oh, it's still fun sareem... *grin* Especially the contest between the FW to see who can kill the most thralls every year! ::)
I'll start smoking more meat, but I'm not going to be making a big fire... it's just too dry out.
-
Mistress....sareem laid larma and tospit slices on a tray on the counter and they were done in a day with this friggin heat....nods....
when do we go? trunk already packed....winter clothes long ago packed.....
-
~reading the post I nod and shake M'head as I useually do~ Aye here we go again ...~chuckels~
-
Rain barrels are lashed and the lil paga still I've been using has been dismantled and carefully packed up in the freight wagon. Due to the heat I figured that should probably be packed first; I wouldn't have been making any more paga anyways till things get a little cooler. Wine and (when it's ready in a few more days) honey mead will remain available till current supplies are exhausted.

we move when the bosk say we move....(and ST)
Thanks to all for helping with preparatioons....make sure your wagons and the camp wagons are seen to as well....Also make sure to have some of the water barrels lashed to other wagons as one wagon dedicated to water always seems to be the victim of mishap

~chuckels~ Aint that the truth...

pleasure has made an extra veterinary med kit in case of injury to the animals and will be keeping it with her and using the knowledge gleaned from Mistress Kelsey, Master Arlon and Mistress Shylina to help with the healing of any injured bosk.
ill be making rounds to check bosk hooves this week and will check any bosk that need it.
girl still needs instruction on the bosk whip, though.
-
Ubar's Bosk have been examined and are ready. girl still needs training on the bosk whip.
-
Think the Vintner's wagon is about as ready as it's gonna be, all packed up and greased up and new traces even. Honey mead is now available, and some wines remain in good supply. Will drop by the Med wagon later this evening and pick up an extra medical kit to keep in the Vintner's wagon for Migration.

The exceptionally heavy losses in kaiila suffered during last migration have not yet been fully replaced. At present there are enough trained mounts to give each Outrider working the herds and outer screen four mounts. The Outriders working close in to the wagons three mounts. Newly trained mounts are being sent to the Outriders with the herds first. (Nomads, I beleave, mentioned a string of five per Outrider) All mounts fully trained and meet or exceed Ubar's and Krull's exacting standards.
It is suggested that each Orlu have at least one vet med kit available.

from the Prep's and Migration Alert log post per pleasure's post:
"Ill Bosk,
the bosk were examined and cared for today. the bosk have ear mites, a severe case, the ones that are worst off stumbling and falling have them in one ear. ((got information from Mistress Shylina)) the lethargy is from dehydration an lack of nutrition spurred on by the infection of mites effecting their balance. "
Please be aware that these ear mites CAN spread to other species (with the exception of human).. especially to sleen and gianni, but kaiila should also be checked. watch for signs.. if a beast appears to be shaking their head alot or rubbing it against stuff, it is possible they could be infected. another more tell tale sign is debris in the ear.. dark brown or reddish brown. Some times a black crust can form.
ears found in this form should be cleaned out (CAREFULLY, as you do not want to force the mites deeper into the ear canal) until the healing type mixture is finished, it is recommended that uninfected beasts ears be coated lightly inside with oil.. even the outside (thou becareful.. oil on the outside can encourage sunburn as it would on your own skin). as while mites usually live IN the ear they can survive in the surrounding fur.
Ashoge..

at the watering hole, like an oasis in the dry plains
says to | | | Michael of the Pla
: I will certainly do so, Master... May I relay to him where the supplies were procured? The last time we did business with a caravan, they sold to us crates with rotten fruit at the bottom, barrels filled with rotten salt pork, and the like... I am certain you checked the goods beforehand, Master, but Master Ubar has stated that the origin of all supplies will now be accounted for.

says to ~ delilah ~ {Tegutai}***: ahhh....hmmm...well....dear....I "borrowed" them from this group of lazy Warriors....only a little blood shead.....and I've checked that all are good. Heck...every have done the taste test with most. And...lol...well...not exactly help to know if they are ok....but I'm still breathing..

The wagons have returned to Tuchuk. Supplies have been offloaded and distributed to freight and supply wagons throughout the camp to minimise loses should any wagons be lost during migration.
Make all ready for we begin migration now!!!
