Travel time Black stones of Kovag-re?

[GurgleSnuff]

Im about to run The black stones of kovag re.
Now when the travellers go about the mountain to the village or through the hidden trail og Bogdan. How many days will they use on such a journey? Til they reach the hiding place of bogdan and his bandit lair?
Maybe u have runned it and have an opinion on this?

Thanks!

Travel at the speed of plot. Need to have the PCs get there quickly, make it a day or so. Want extra encounters along the way, stretch it out a couple of days. PCs unexpectedly get overly injured early, stretch it out a bit with some time for healing before the big climax.

Certainly, the lack of scale on maps for Conan adventures makes it difficult to figure these things out. But you can turn that to your advantage by giving PCs rough estimates when they have enough information to even get an estimate, and you can either speed them up if necessary such as they mess around with side matters and the foes would get to the plot ending too quickly (e.g., "a recent rockslide reveals what appears to be a short cut") or slow them down if necessary such as being hurt and needing healing time (e.g., "the mountainous paths twist and turn, delaying your progress," "a rockslide blocks your path, requiring you to take a more circuitous route", etc.).
