I want to meet that hag.
Can we walk ten miles in an afternoon?

Sure, you can travel 10~miles in a day without exertion.
Sootfilch and Grogfen are human, so they can ignore some \glsentrylongpl{ep} while marching.

The \glspl{pc} can travel ten miles a day without exertion, which works out fine.
Each day has four \glspl{interval} -- morning, afternoon, evening, and night.
Characters can walk 5 miles in \pgls{interval} without exertion, so they usually go 10 miles a day, or 15 with good supplies and no distractions.
If they find a time-sensitive mission, they can always endure the weight of a few \glsentrylongpl{ep} in order to get there faster.

Everyone starts combat with 3~\glsentryfullpl{ap} plus their Speed Bonus.
Having more \glspl{ap} lets you act before others, and do more.
Since most combat actions resist an opponent, spending \pgls{ap} usually forces an opponent to spend one too.
These forced-expenditures can push characters into negative \glspl{ap}.
A character on negative \glspl{ap} feels seriously flustered, and takes the negative as a penalty to their actions.
When someone attacks you, it forces you to spend \glspl{ap} to resist.
This can push your \glspl{ap} below 0, and every step down inflicts a penalty to all actions.
For example, a character on -2~\glspl{ap} would take a -2 penalty to all actions (and could only act in response to something acting against them).

Characters cast spells with Charisma plus an elemental Skill, as they literally speak to the elements.
Spells work like any other roll, including when making a Resisted roll -- the spellcaster uses their Bonus to resist the opponent, or players roll their \gls{pc}'s Bonus against the \gls{npc}'s.
Characters cast spells with Charisma plus an elemental Skill, as they literally speak to the elements.
Most spells come with a suggested statement, but the player can fill in anything (or nothing).
