Stagecoach

With much appreciation to the Archives of Nethys for the Pathfinder game mechanics on this!

A stagecoach is a type of four-wheeled carriage used in some parts of the Freecities League and KaraKorum as a public coach. Most often it's used to carry paying passengers and light packages on long journeys. Well made, they are strongly sprung and drawn by four horses, mules, elks, or another similar domesticated animal.

A Freecities or KaraKorum stagecoach travel at an average speed of 5 miles per hour with the average daily mileage covered being close to 60 miles. The common type could accommodate up to four passengers in the main compartment. Bags and other belongings were stored on top with the driver and guard, called the "Bolt Thrower".
