well... she made it through the first leg of Migration, wagon, slave and effects still intact.  managed to secure most of the wagon properly save for a tool box that took to sliding about the platform early on in the chaos...
trudged through the mud, risking life and limb to help tug the bosk to higher ground... and...*hangs her head* Ran over the pelvic region of a thrall, then finally sending him to his demise as the back wheels finished the job and sent him to a muddy grave...

Whatever will tonight bring? *chuckles*

Day Two of Migration: I re-greased the wagon wheels and axles, then redeemed my Master's rolls of canvass from the pile of goods that had been recovered from the bottom of the muddy hill. With the help of several (NPC) work thralls, the recovered goods were lashed to the sides of the wagons, where they had originally been.  Unfortunately, the crates of spurs and bits I had also dicarded to lighten the wagon were not found in the salvage pile.

I then frantically dug the front wheels of my Master's wagon out of the mud and drove throughout the night, narrowly avoiding disaster when the fog rolled in and another wagon drove into mine.  Though the front wheels of the two wagons locked together,  I was able to steer free and continue on without further incident.

When the halt was called, the hired unScarred boys moved to tend the animals, ordering me off to sleep...

____________________________________


Day Three of Migration:  Though the wagons did not roll, I found plenty to do.  My Master's left front wagon wheel sustained enough damage to warrant replacing, which task was completed by Master Tegutai and a number of thralls.  Under my direction, the thralls dragged a jack from my Master's largest freight wagon, and Master directed them to use the jack to hold the wagon platform while Master replaced the wagon wheel.

Master Tegutai then "conducted" me to sister chiana, where I awarded her with the senior mat tags she so rightfully earned!

Then I returned to my Master's wagon, where I greased the new wheel and checked and cleaned the brake lines...

Afterward, I bathed as well as I could from a barrel of water on my Master's wagon porch, and fell asleep on the porch when I was clean and feeling refreshed...

I forgot to post this for the few days of migration.

Day 1: Drove the wagon, checked all three of Mistress' wagons for axle grease, harness imperfections, and wheel deformities.

Day 2:  Helped Mistress fix one of the wheels on her personal wagon.  Checked all three wagons for grease, re-applied grease to the axles, cleaned the brakes, and tended the foal.  Also took senior mat test, but I don't know if that counts as a chore.

Errr... it's hard to remember which day I did what...

But I've been driving my Master's wagon; greasing its axles and wheels; ensuring the care of his bosk; testing and training slaves both old and new; and serving whenever the wagons aren't rolling.

I made it through the RoT -- an amazing night!

Today I served Mistress Kitya a bota of water, offered service to Master Tegutai, trained a new slave girl, tended my Master's bosk, and "oversaw" the rest of the chores by conning a thrall into "assisting" my chain sister and my Master's hired (NPC) unScarred boys... *grinning*

kadi made it through the RoTs crossing with her Mistresses wagon, she then had to run to r/t which was ment to be nice and relaxing but was a nightmare instead

Yesterday, I bled, gutted, and skinned the carcass of the largest tabuk Master Tegutai had killed, while rani watched.  I was later commanded to eat and rest by the Master.  I had by that time bathed and tended by Master's personal cookfire (in NPC-mode).

_________________________________________________________

The day before that, I showed lyrazina the proper way to grease wagon wheels as we shared the task of making Mistress Kelsey's wagon migration-safe.  It was then that I discovered the sabotage of the thralls, splinter and knothead, and reported such to Master Tegutai.  I then scouted out the location of said thralls for the Master, without the thralls knowing, and reported back to the Master. 

After the fighting in Ubar's largest freight wagon was over, Mistress Kelsey had me fetch water for Master Tegutai. 

Later, I gave preliminary training instruction to rani, the girl Mistress Malefic and Master Tegutai chased down and bola'd on the plains.  She was given her slave trunk and shown how to wear her clothing.  After the slave was settled, Master, Mistress, and I all fell asleep upon the porch of Mistress's forge wagon.

Tested aisling to senior mat status; did more webslave stuff; tended my Master's cookfire; served Mistress Elisa...

... left the room due to a major RTI ...

... returned to drive the wagon for the tail-end of the night's migration (but we'll just assume I drove the whole time)...

... and bagged a thrall who wandered under my wonky wheel!

tested with dee, got to serve,
tended Mistress' team with food and had some thralls give them feed,
checked all the wheels and it is with great fear that the right wheel that has been given fits for awhile will *not* last to Turia...
greased the axles and began the journey in the drivers seat... before this one had to scurry off to sleep...
was a good day in camp *smiles*

before that though, i had untethered the team and got them water, then stepped in a hole and got a boo boo, while idly sitting on me bumm, i did some busy work-restuffed some of the pillows with vulo feathers,  checked the fur lininng on some older p airs of gloves etc.. Got to see Mistress for a bit too! YAY

was a full day for aisling ~smiles~
