Ivana wants to grow a poison there that is otherwise too loathsome in flavor to be consumed. Ivan wants all the food he can get from there, as it is the only thing he's found that gets around his personal curse (everything tastes horrible). Neither one wants the other to have any success whatsoever. Finally, D'Polarno finds himself in a position of power, but what can he get out of the deal? Of course, the PCs find themselves stuck in the middle of this negotiation.I spent lots of extra time and effort describing what everyone is eating, when, and how. A sandwich that one of the PCs carried turned out to be a pivotal item. One PC ended up picking through his meals for "threads" and other evidence of tampering. It took them from illusory meals in Scaena, to questionable meats in Verbrek, to the cocoa trade in Valachan. It was delicious!</blockquote>
