What To Feed The Baby?
Subject: Re: The chase; jungle and more jungle
Mission hears Garyth ask Cadfael for food for Promise. "Even just water, Cadfael-- anything at all," he adds, hopefully.
His heart sinks as he Rennick talks of the other halfling tribe. He had hoped there might be some way to get back to the eastward trail, at least that way there was Gully's outpost. . . what kind of food for Promise would they find among savage halflings?
Blood and stone. Better food than in Kor Garesh's maw, for sure. He supposed that halfling children had to eat, too. Mission glances at the chewed-up haft of Rennick's axe. Wonderful. Promise's first meal would be, what, the hilt of a broadsword?

Does Farron have the horse spell that he used to get that halfling kid out of the jungle memorized?
Depending on how many people the magic Smarty Jones can carry, that could be a viable alternative to walking. . .
Of course,then there's the jungle to contend with. I don't know if it's passable on horseback or not.
For camp tonight, I suggest that we use Farron's magic hut thingie again. Just in case.
If we run ourselves ragged, will the various heal spells restore us?
Man, I could go for a rack of hruggda ribs right now. . .
Mission will take first watch or last watch-- though if Promise doesn't get anything to drink, I doubt any of us will get much sleep. . . which could be very bad.

Watching Mission try to get water for the child, Rennik cuts a broad leaf from one of the jungle trees and fashions it into a sort of cone-shaped cup. Collecting some of the heavy rain, he offers the filled up to the monk.
Not sure about the care and feeding of baby humans, Rennik tries to think what infants of the tribe would eat. Not having any of the soft, mushy grains or animal fats of the tribal mothers, he tries to find some food soft enough for the child that might still have some nutritional value.
Hesitantly, he offers, "If nothing else, there are grubs that could be ground to a paste and mixed with a little water. It is food, if not the best tasting or most appealing. We will undoubtedly be approached by a Kalama hunting party once we enter their territory - perhaps we can barter for some infant food when we negotiate passge through their lands."

Mission smiles at Rennick grimly, "Thank you, Rennick."
