-Taking \pgls{interval} to forage
-Groups can forage while on the road, but taking \pgls{restingaction} requires devoting \pgls{interval} to focussing on foraging.
-Of course, these fast excursions from the path, to check out anything that happens to catch their eye, can lead to quick decisions, or even to encounters with wandering beasts.

+Using \pgls{bandAct} won't do much good unless the group is willing to split up a little (within earshot).
+However, if a group can split up entirely, going to different areas, they can each make a separate foraging roll, and gather far more resources.

-Each \gls{interval}, the troupe can travel the initial distance easily.
-Every mile after that adds \pgls{ep}.

-By default, characters might travel 10~miles per day, i.e. 5~miles in the morning, then 5~in the afternoon.
-Once the Sun sets in the evening, most will rest in \pgls{bothy}, and take time to cook, and potentially meet another travelling group moving in the opposite direction.

-An expedient troupe might add 2~miles each \gls{interval}, and eat nothing but dry rations, so they can march instead of cooking in the evening.
-With 3~\glspl{interval} of movement, the troupe could travel 21~miles in total.
-The night would allow them to remove \pgls{ep}, but the day would add 6 more, so they won't be moving like that for long.

Humans can endure a hard-march better than most.
Despite their slow gait, they can out-pace almost anything in the long-term.%
