With the briefing over, you have one more task to perform. Moving to where the wagons are being prepared, you take stock of the inventory. Some of the wagons have already been loaded, but you are asked to bring in your expertise for the rest. Supplies will be important, required to last until Raven's Reach. The Raven Spire has also thrown in a number of amber bombs that may be taken to aid in repelling assaults from the Deepwood. Finally, on a journey such as this, morale will be an issue, so bringing some barrels of ale could help later down the line. As the commanders of the army, the final decision on the loadout is up to you.
