If we're to keep up our strength, then we have to eat, right? But neither of my companions here care much about food, so the task falls to me.

I would prefer hot meals, but it can get difficult with three of us. Finding enough of the ingredients takes so long.

I finally started making jerky. Drying out the meat makes it last longer and I can do it in bulk, so I don't have to do it for every meal.

Player: "Good idea. Has it gone over well?"

So far, very well. I've discovered that the lean rib meat and sirloin of Ettins are the best for it.

I received a few coins to use while assisting out here. If you gather some of the meat for me, I'll be glad to give you one of them.


Player: Accept.

Excellent. You can find what I need near the fortress and on Vaizel's Peak--Ettin Lean Ribs and Ettin Sirloin from Tufted Ettins and Hulking Ettins.

I'll polish your coin and await your return.

Player: "It'd better be shiny when I get back...."

That was fast.

It must have been easy for you. Quick, show me what you've got.

Player: "Here it is."

Apparently, you were quick because you didn't go. That's one way, I suppose.

Alternately, you could actually try going out there and getting the job done.

Player: "Er...I'll be right back."

Great job! Exactly what I needed!

I'll get on those jerkies right away.

And here's your coin. I'll give you more each time you show up with more meat, by the way.
