I'd say the time is pretty much fixed, with possibly a small (10% or so) variation. However, since the sphere you arrive at is random (unless you have Phlogiston Navigation), you could spend anywhere up to 100 days anyway. > BTW, if 1-100 days is ALWAYS the random time, doesn't this mean that > 60% of the time, a given SJ ship will run the risk of having a fouled > atmosphere before they arrive at their destination, since on a ship > with full crew complement, the air stays fresh for 30 days?! IIRC (and I'm almost positive I do), it's 120 days. Plenty of time for the voyage, and you can always cast Wind Wall spells anyway. Actually, for a ship, air isn't much of a problem. Food, on the other hand... Hemlock
