Chapter 6: Next Stop: an Unexplored Dungeon!

A new day arrived, which I would be using to visit Ronkainen’s churches and orphanages. It had become something of a custom of mine to make charitable donations in all of the towns I spent time in, and I had yet to do so here.

While I was occupied with my donations, the members of Ark would be getting some shopping done in preparation for our upcoming dungeon excursion. They’d told me their plans earlier that morning, and had been over the moon when I informed them that they didn’t need to bother stocking up on provisions, since I would handle our meals over the course of the adventure. I had been somewhat bemused to think that they’d be that happy to eat my food at first, but when I probed a little deeper I learned that there was a bit more to it after all. They were excited for my cooking, yes, but more importantly, provisions accounted for the majority of a typical party’s baggage going into a dungeon. In short, they were relieved to not have to haul days’ and days’ worth of food around with them.

Ark made it a point to carry only the bare minimum of baggage on their persons, relying on Feodora’s Item Box for bulk transport purposes. Her Item Box, however, was apparently on the smaller side compared to those that other elves possessed. Their dungeon expeditions sometimes lasted upwards of a month, and in those cases, the vast majority of her storage space ended up being occupied by food. To make matters worse, it wasn’t even good food—jerky and hardtack tended to be their staples.

In any case, by the time they’d crammed their food, spare weapons, potions, and various bits and bobs of dungeon-delving gear into Feodora’s Item Box, it usually ended up being literally filled to capacity. A worker at the guild had told me how important provisions were for dungeon expeditions back when I went into Dolan’s dungeon, but hearing it from real, active-duty adventurers made the advice feel much weightier than it had back then, when it had been purely hypothetical from my perspective. And for all the inconveniences involved, they made it clear that it could still be even worse.

“We’re lucky to have someone with an Item Box, period,” Gaudino explained.

“And we’ve got a magic tool that spits out all the drinkable water we could need,” Sigvard added. “Makes all the difference in the world, that. We picked one up as soon as we could, and never looked back.”

I saw his point immediately. All the food in the world wouldn’t keep you alive for long without anything to drink, after all. Adventurers without a tool like Ark’s had to bring casks full of water into the dungeons with them, so it was easy to understand why Sigvard felt so grateful to not have to go through all that hassle.

I recalled Fel telling me once that water produced with magic wasn’t safe to drink, certain
