Another thing the wise adventurer always has, she realised. Always carry rope. And now, always carry water. Come to think of it, always carry lantern oil too.
Wanda moved over to Harbull. She'd heard Kirsten's plan, but could contribute nothing other than a nod of affirmation and the implicit offer of carrying the lantern.
Surprise! Wanda will avoid the dangerous part of the upcoming activity and position herself at the back of the group. She has a lantern and she's not afraid to use it!
