After Jahi asked that question, we all turned towards the Marquess, who just got up and entered the swirling purple Gate, leaving us behind for a few moments before returning with a sack laden with dried meats, oats, and some other hard foodstuffs that wouldn't go bad quickly, making all of us sigh.
But, thankfully, we weren't about to stoop to such bland rations if I could help it, so I had Anput make me a pan and a pot, which I then placed over the fire and began to heat up, adding some water to the pot and preparing everything else for a stew... as best I could, anyways, with the ingredients we had available.
The meats were recooked and added to the boiling water alongside a large amount of berries and vegetables we found around the perimeter of the forest, while Nirinia got curious and waded out into the ocean, coming back with a heavy fish as well.
