[IC] A Stolen Land

[DM Dougfan]

I'm glad you mentioned scouting the hexes, because that's going to be a fairly major part of the first part of this campaign (at least until the Kingdom Building Turns).  It takes a whole 5 hours walking at 30-foot speed just to travel across one plains hex and a full day to completely explore it.  Other kinds of hexes obviously take longer, as does traveling or exploring at slower speeds.  Scouting a mile outside the fort  won't show you very much as the land changes rapidly after you scout given its wild nature.  I've even provided a bit of an outline (granted by the AP ) for you here:

Traveling (Time to cross 1 hex) 
Party Speed    Plains    All Other Terrains
15 feet         11 hours     16 hours
20 feet         8 hours       12 hours
30 feet         5 hours       8 hours
40 feet         4 hours       6 hours
50 feet         3 hours       5 hours

Exploring (Time to fully explore 1 hex)
Party Speed           Plains           Forest or Hill              Mountain or Swamp
15 feet                  3 days           4 days                           5 days
20 feet                  2 days           3 days                           4 days
30 feet                  1 day            2 days                            3 days
40 feet                  1 day            1 day                             2 days
50 feet                  1 day            1 day                             1 day
