An intense hunger assaulted the team, mainly Altair, Nemean, and Bastion, in the form of prominent growls. They grimaced at one another because they hadn't expected this outcome. Who would have thought a character could become hungry in a game world?

Hunger was inevitable after exerting themselves against the Desertborn Brigands and entering a stressful situation with the Sand Worms. Kieran didn't have a solution prepared, so he could only turn to the merchants. After all, as residents of this world, they needed to eat, or else they would die.
