Traveling over ice and having one character with exhaustion level 2 (speed halved) slowed the party to a dangerous level. In regular conditions, the Player’s Handbook (PHB) tells us you can travel 24 miles in a day. In difficult conditions, however, “you move at half speed in difficult terrain – moving 1 foot in difficult terrain costs 2 feet of speed – so you can cover half the normal distance in a minute, an hour, a day. (PHB p.182)” I reduced the speed furthermore because they are traveling on ice without proper equipment. The players found me rough, but I am being generous, considering.

Bottoms Up! - GM Log

I remember doing the recording of this episode. I never had so much fun drinking pretend alcohol. There was some kind of giddiness at the table that night. As if players and characters were in synch in letting loose after a harrowing day. It was truly a fantastic session and doing the editing, there was so much that I had to but cut out otherwise it would have been too long, but parts like the “Speak with Oyster” made me laugh all over again. I hope you all enjoyed it as well and it wasn’t too self-referential. I want to point out that after six episodes we are still in the first day and the players haven’t completed a long rest. Resources are going to be stretched thin.
