A meager supper of flavored broth was served in the common room to Darrow, Dermot and Shanni by the Kablins. The lack of available food highlighted the village’s penury, although both the innkeeper and his wife seemed optimistic about the prospects for future trade and local hunting, now that the manticores were gone from the woods. The three adventurers decided they should supplement the inn’s food stores, so Dermot lead a hunt into the countryside, despite the ever-present rain.They first returned to the area where the local woodsman’s dog had cornered a boar and found its companion, which wounded Shanni in the leg with a charge before being killed. She soon healed, however, after Darrow lent her his ring of regeneration, and watched with interest as the ranger and the dwarf set to skinning the boar and storing its meat in their packs. Dermot heard some activity off to the northwest and suggested Shanni check it out, while they finished with the boar.The petite rogue soon returned with a description of lots of huge rabbits in the forest, which Darrow thought would be good eating. The three moved toward where she had the rabbits and were surprised when they came leaping and bounding towards the adventurers, huge teeth exposed. A flurry of axe and sword work soon cut down the animals, however, leaving Darrow breathing heavily but grinning along with Shanni as they exchanged fluffy bunny jokes. The smiles soon turned to swearing, however, as the three set to dragging as many rabbit carcasses as they could handle back to Kablin’s Inn.The exhausted adventurers, partly covered in rabbit blood, deposited their loads at the inn and were bemused when Kablin welcomed them enthusiastically, calling to his wife to come see the rabbits. The innkeeper explained that they had used to roam in packs in the woods before the manticores came, as Yasia enthused about various recipes. The three companions said that the rabbit meat would be all theirs, for the price of three baths.</blockquote>
