Ah I see. I hadn't counted on the group being mounted. In our traditional Hârnmaster games we'd be lucky to have even one character on a horse. When I run Hârnmaster campaigns (in fact most campaigns including T2K) I always give each player a short "pre-game" for their PC (I find it helps create emotional investment and individual goals in PCs and avoids the "you all meet in an inn" campaign start situations so common in games like D&D). One player's first PC unfortunately died during his pre-game when he decided to take a short cut through wilderness from one Ivinian village to another (by himself) and was surrounded and killed by wolves. Naturally the player was upset that all that effort in rolling up a character had gone to waste but it was a pretty heroic fight.
