The Point Migration Supply Log
« on: May 15, 2017, 10:32:27 PM »
Entry 1

The column of freighters and riders under escort of The 1st left for The point with those of the main area. It will be a quick in and out supply venture with no time to waste.

It is hot and extremely dusty and dry. Good time has been made thus far and good ground covered. The column will continue onward as long as possible before pausing to water the stock, rest the mounts and fill botas from the barrels. It will only be a brief pause before the column continues on to cover as much ground during the night as possible, hoping to reach that shallow river in the morn where all can refill with water and wash up a bit and finally cool off and eat light before continuing on. The wagons will run dark, meaning no lamps. There are no clouds, so the moons will provide enough light to see and the stars will be visible for easy navigation.

So far, all is well and on schedule.

It was not a comfortable journey given the heat and the seemingly never-ending dust that irritated eyes and made life miserable.

The column has reached the small river just before midday, and though the level was low, it was quite welcoming. The banks were dry where the usual watermark is, and at its deepest was only two to three feet in depth, but it was cool and clear upon our arrival.

The stock waters and the wagons soak wheels. We rest and eat, wash, and try to rest while the wagons finish up. When they have finished, we will again make for The Point.

So far, we still remain on schedule.

The column was better off for spending much needed time at the river before moving out. The water, rest, and food did much to rejuvenate the column.

The column is on the move again, and will continue through the night. It is a cloudless sky and the moons are more than enough to light the way without need of lamps.

The tall grasses make for somewhat less dust and is easier on the wagons providing a bit of cushion before they are flattened completely by the numerous wheels.

At this rate, the column will be within The Point well before dark again.

I ride on ahead with the Scouts and will enter The Point to meet with Rayah in the Admin lodge to get things in order and check on supplies pre-ordered.

So far, we are still on schedule.

Entry 4

We did not make as much ground this last leg placing our arrival a bit behind schedule, but we have arrived at The Point. The freighters are in the wagon encampment area, and the usual routine is in place. Chits have been given for amenities offered by The Point such as baths, a free drink, kailla livery etc.

All slaves, with Owners permission, have been gifted three silver to spend as they desire.

This will be an extremely short stay for us. See the supplies are obtained and ready to go as soon as possible.

Those known well to the Ubara may seek lodging with her in The Nest.

There is much to be done, and little time to do it.

Entry 5


The column left The Point and is headed back towards camp.

Even given the loads being carried, we are still making good time.

The food and setting of the evening meal the night before leaving The Point seemed to be enjoyed by all. Jade and siren did well in its planning and execution.

The Paravaci arrived at The Point for their resupply while we were there. There exists no outright animosity between our Peoples and no incidents were reported. I hold no doubts there moments of testosterone and bravado, but such is to be expected.

It is my intent to make as much ground and time as possible, pausing only when reaching the small river to rest, take on water, and eat before moving on.

Any camp supplies, or trading supplies used must be logged. Failure to do so will result in an error in supplies and accounting that could affect Tuchuk later.

Entry 6

The column made the small river crossing. Barrels topped off, stock watered, and botas filled. The column paused to eat and rest while the stock was tended.

The column again moved out a couple ahn before dark intending to roll through the night hoping the temperature will lessen.

Dust sighted to the North, most likely Kassar or Katai headed for their resupply.

We now enter the grazed lands that gives so much grief with dust. With luck, we should see home in two days time long enough to change out the teams and make ready to begin our march South.

The column is on its final leg to camp.

We encountered a Kassar raid in force just before dark. There were a few casualties, but no supplies were lost. The Kassar were driven off after suffering consequential casualties. No captives were taken. All were put down.

The column moved out as soon as was possible in order to get out of the area, halting after dark to finish tending to wounded and to water the stock.

Water has become the issue. Even I am not sure the column will make it to camp given the heat and dust and how low our water supply currently is.

The column has moved during the night once again and come light of day, we should be within range of our patrols.

We have arrived in Tuchuk.

Tend to the wounded, divide the supplies among the main and perimeter areas, change out the teams, grease the freighter axles and prepare to move out.

It is time to begin the march Vasic (South) to our summering lands where the grasses are plentiful and the temperatures cooler.
