[ ASSUMING THEIR TRIP GOES WELL, Wriothesley gets a small box of LILITH's chocolate and a small rectangle of orange-scented soap wrapped in burlap and tied with twine. A small note is tucked under the knot, saying: ]
I usually make my own, I just made a little more than normal Someone showed me how to get directions to the market so I picked some ingredients up. I got such weird looks when I asked them for tallow...
Tell me about it. I got an alternative at least, but nothing's as good as animal fat. The same goes for cooking too. It's a hobby, yeah! I made a big batch when I first arrived. It's been a few weeks so it should have cured by now.
My hair, mostly! Making your own soap is cheaper than buying it from a merchant, and it only gets more expensive the deeper you go into a dungeon, if you can find any at all. I always try to keep some on hand. They're nice gifts, too.
Well, they're still like that... They're highly dangerous. There's a way to be resurrected in the dungeon if you end up dying, but depending on HOW you die, you could end up gone for good.
It's not THAT easy. There are a lot of rules about that kind of thing... But it's possible as long as you're in the dungeon. That's more than you can say for the surface, you know?
There are some people subsidized by the government who perform corpse retrievals and revivals too. You can get a lot of money that way, especially for bodies down on lower levels
But the fact that it can be done at all, and with enough regularity for a whole system to have been developed around it, is already much more than most other places can boast.
Though at the same time, it seems like dangerous knowledge to have. How many people act more recklessly than they should, knowing that there's a chance that any impending death might not be their final one?
Well, that's definitely the case... That knowledge is pretty widespread, so it's impossible to suppress now. We'd all probably be better off if we could. More recklessness leads to more risk of dying for good though. Any adventurer worth his salt knows that, but not a lot of those are out there Especially when there's a chance of getting your wishes granted

Is making soap a hobby of yours?

Have you died yourself?

I've been the only healer in my party for a while though, so I try not to let it happen.

Is it usually that easy to come back to life after dying in a dungeon?
