  I can’t believe that you didn’t go into that abandoned building <br><br>The GM obviously had a storyhook in there.

  I&apos;d like to point out that we&apos;ve also learned about the value of bards: road trip songs! Someone to keep the party&apos;s spirits up, and their minds off the burning in their legs, can help get them over that last hill, especially on longer trips

  So, seems pretty reasonable that adventurers which are at peak physical fitness within their limitations and walk distances like this on the regular can 100% keep up a 24 mile per 8 hour pace. That said, you have also discovered why no party which can teleport chooses to walk anywhere.

  DM: &quot;As you continue to walk, just beyond where you&apos;re familiar with, a grey blocky building, weathered from disuse comes into view. It&apos;s easy to see the door is unlocked and ajar, almost inviting you to explore. What do you decide to do?&quot;<br><br>Players: &quot;Oh, we&apos;ll just keep walking.&quot;<br><br>DM to self: (Arrrrgh! I was up all night putting that encounter together!)<br><br>DM: &quot;Ah ok...you walk a little further, when suddenly out of nowhere, a freak storm blows in. You need to seek shelter...&quot;

  Make sure that in the next one you also hire folks to come out and attack you at various spots.

  You could argue that the characters are used to the walks so they&apos;d be &quot;better&quot; at it than you are. You, yourself said the most you have ever done is 13 miles, but in a world where the primary means of transportation is walking, even people in below average shape would be able to walk further.

  Before you get all gung-ho about long distance horse travel, you should really do a video where you ride a horse for 8 hours and see how your butt feels at the end of that day. :D

  He actually had full adventuring gear with him it was just in the drawstring bag of holding

  The whole walking without a pack is probably pretty realistic actualy, historically you&apos;d travel with pack animals. Walking solo with all your gear on you is fairly modern.

  I&apos;ll say this about the leg burning and stuff like that, I walk about 14 miles a shift while also lifting hundreds and thousands of bags of dog food and other goods like cat litter and such that weigh about 50ish pounds, you get used to that constant stress on your body so adventurers wouldn&apos;t have much of a challenge once this becomes their life. I&apos;m not even in great shape right now I just am used to doing this work but when I first started my feet and calves and thighs hurt all the time because I&apos;m always moving. But now it&apos;s easy.

  As someone who has gone on multiple 20+ mile rucks with ~150 pounds of gear (including armor), I feel like the D&amp;D travel rules are pretty realistic.
