Which is why you don't offer it to them. You let them steal it, and make them work just hard enough at obtaining the information that they think they got away with something.

I'm thinking about guild system with secret codes knows by the members to try to travel safe.

There are a group of scout in charge to find new and safe path everyday and signs on for the caravan.
What do you think

It's classical but I don't have no better idea sorry.

Forget securing a route.

If I am managing the convoy, I'm going to rely on heavy firepower. Railguns. And if I can hire psykers from across the dimensional rift then I'll pay A-1 friggin top dollar.

In my opinion? In Felarya, you travel with the firepower to take out a Tonorion-Canopy Fairy hybrid waiting for you behind every tree, or you might as well travel naked with salt and pepper shakers.

You're not exactly taking into account the magical aspect of Felarya. A lot of predators, especially the sentient ones, can use magic. All the firepower in several different worlds won't mean much if an earth-magic user terraforms a ground-based convoy into a convenient cave, or a wind-magic user can fling the missiles straight up before they hit. Keep in mind, those are just really, really basic examples.



I do like the idea of trade routes, like I'd said before. There are plenty of prey species in our own world that use the same paths for whatever reasons, making a convenient game trail for predators and even human hunters. In Felarya, humans would make a "game trail" for profit, providing a speedy, if considerably more dangerous, way to get their merchandise of choice from Point A to Point B

Well, If I had to choose any non-magic example, I would choose a small, fast, but efficient VTOL. VTOL, for the uninformed, stands for Vertical-take-off and landing. It basically lifts off from the ground vertically, but once it's in the air it can travel forward like a fixed wing aircraft, or hover like a helicopter. Now, my bet would be a small, lightly armed one that can carry a moderate amount of cargo. Maybe a wing of those. Something along the lines of the VTOL from crysis. I loved those things.

Okay, I think I've worked up a good solution for a convoy defense.

There is a device called a "Cloaker" from the anime Crusher Joe OAV "The Ultimate Weapon: ASH". It's about the size of a basketball and it flies. It seeks out living things - especially humans - and attaches themselves to the limbs or arms, and goes boom. They come from roving land-based mother ships that hide underground, churning rocks into Cloakers (in other words, they replicate endlessly).

Enhance their explosive yield, tune them to seek out Felaryan predators, and slather each one in anti-magic.

They should be able to intercept things under the ground, in the sky, and even dig in deep during a horrendous storm.

When a Great Pred comes for your convoy... surprise. A dozen of them latch onto a Giant Naga's head and kaboom. Even Vivian casts her dark magic and watches it fizzle: she's now facing swarms of explosive drones that never stop coming and she cannot destroy. A storm sprite's magic fizzles; she can't short circuit them. Harpies drop like flies.

I am sorry but I must say I prefer to not have this sub-forum become yet another "best tactical offense against predators" type thread ^^;
It's still ok, just to make things clear.
