I tear a piece of packed linen free that is meant for bandages, tourniquets or bindings.  I dip it into some pine resin that serves as an adhesive and some fancy means for wound treating.  I don't remember much about the latter.  Saerie was explaining it as we were resupplying.  Unfortunately, I was barely paying attention <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Anyway, I tie it around each of our necks like nice-smelling kerchiefs.  It will serve to stave off the rancid, rotting stench of this place.  The overwhelming, pleasing natural smell of the pine resin will keep our stomachs settled and moralize us the same way the bold light of my sword does.[sblock]Spending 1 Adventuring Gear to take +1.Follow the necrotic river through Blackbriar Trench (Con)1, 5 +1 (take +1 AG) = 8You follow the umbral flow to the waterfall but something unsettling greets you.[/sblock]</blockquote>
