Book 2 question (Minor Spoiler)

[DrSnooze]

Not much of a spoiler, but I'll tag it just in case!

Spoiler:

Is there a time limit for the missions in chapter 2? I might have missed this, but the mission descriptions are pretty specific about how many days they take, and there's a War Interlude that can increase this time. Does that come into play at all? Does it matter how much time they spend doing missions?

Thanks in advance!

No time limit for the missions, but GMs need to know the time passage so they can resolve long term effects (spells, diseases, etc.) or the number of overall wandering encounters the party faces. Plus, the PLAYERS won't know there's no time limit, and the idea of the passage of time in and of itself is enough to influence decisions.
