PROVISIONS is an errand THE SHIP'S COOK hands out on THE RIFT, and it wants 5 SHIP'S BISCUITs brought back.

There are no ports in the rift, no chandlers and no markets, and a cook notices that before anybody else does. The star jellies have been at the biscuit. Five rounds back sets the mess for a crew he maintains are merely late rather than gone.

What it asks

SHAPE	WHAT	HOW MANY

Who is carrying the pieces — a kill of one of these, while the errand is live and the tally short, rolls for a piece.

SHIP'S BISCUIT	STAR JELLY	34%

• SHIP'S BISCUITA long dry run off the horde is not a dead end: after 6 kills of a carrier with nothing to show for it, the next one drops for certain.
• ONLY WHILE IT IS LIVEthe pieces exist for the errand and nothing else — they drop once it has been accepted and the tally is still short, and they are handed over at the turn-in.

What it pays

Handing it in pays experience, 110 coins and 1 rolled piece.

The experience is authored as a SHARE of your own level bar — 0.4 of one — rather than as a figure, so the same errand is worth the same fraction of a level on the first map and the last. The table below is what that comes to for a hero at the level this venue is tuned for; take it later and it pays more.

The rolled piece goes through the ordinary drop pipeline at your own level. A quest is a second CALLER of the loot system, never a second loot system, so what it hands over is the same kind of thing a monster drops.

The chain

Opens THE CREW ARE LATE.

A chain never crosses a map or a run: the quest log belongs to the run you are in rather than to the hero, so every link of one is taken, done and handed in on a single visit, from the same person.

What is said

The errand in the giver's own words, covered until you ask for it.
