>24lbs for 16 persons
The 8year old kids eat the same as an adventurer? That's 1.5lbs which is 0.7 kg per child. They probably are hungry. But there will be something left for Ashley for sure.
Cat will cook the 12lbs boar meat plus 13lbs mystery meat. That leaves 32lbs mystery meat that will be preserved. We need water too because this are not full rations. Somebody needs to get it with our glass jar while Cat is cooking. We will also fill it and our 3 waterskins before we leave. We can feed the kids for a max of 3 days after this with all our food unless Ashley hunts more.

No idea about our story. Yulya?
Should we mention the accident? The driver was run over. What do the children know? I think they were told about an accident.
They fled when we confronted them about the kids which are no legal slaves and they left them behind speeding off. There was an accident where the driver was injured but they escaped. We found the cart turned over on the way back with the rothé broken free but no sign of them. Sounds ok.

Yulya should try to decipher the text immediately. Then we hide the loot among the cargo. Alice swallows gold coins and ring to keep them safe. We shouldn't wear or use any of the loot now or at the guild.

>leaving the plate at the cart
Good idea!
It would be suspicious when their corpses are found where we encountered them and far away from their cart.
