This is such a dumb thing to be confused about but I'm confused about the party's approach to food. The one guy is apparently a skilled hunter but that is seen as a useless skill and they brought all their food with them for their journey. Why aren't they hunting and getting food that way? Why is the other guy worried about finding a place to buy more food and not even considering they hunt for some of it?
