A rash expedition into the unknown requires a certain amount of preparation.
Store up 7,500 stews, 20,000 legs of beef, 7,500 hard alcohol and 20,000 wine
Reward: 60.000 points, 35.000 gold
****************************************
that is what the quest says....to complete..
Of course when you do, "THEY" take all your stews, LoB, Hard Alcohol, and wine.
Previous "do this", "build this many X", you keep what you build. Not this one.
Interesting.
Though in Quest 4, it does make reference to dwindling supplies.....
