"Well, the bird there is a Diark, and it looks like it's cooked Gnoll-style-- very simply," said Strasha. "That suits me well. The fried breads there are Elf cooking, and very tasty. That's also an Elf stew over there-- Bluefowl in wine with some vegetables, I think. Pretty tasty, but all the kick gets stewed out of the wine, which is no fun. It looks like they've arranged Serafin fruit pasties over there, which are tasty, too. I don't know what that white stuff is, though," she added, pointing to a bowl of rice.

"Food and camping supplies, plus whatever weapons you want," said Arale. She'd brought a spear. "Water I can get out of the ground, but food's more questionable. Uh, for a lot of things, I'd check with the Gnolls-- this is one of their live-in wagons, and they know them better."

The wagon, indeed, was gigantic-- the size of a house. It had a tentlike roof, and clearly was intended to be lived in. The Hargs that pulled it were the size of dinosaurs... Reply With Quote
