Hey Gerbarij, I’ve been sketching our next route through the salt flats and I’m running into a dilemma—how do we carry your prized herbs without letting them dry out, yet keep the caravan’s water use as low as possible? Got any preservation tricks or packing ideas that won’t deplete our water reserves?
Gerbarij
Hey, keep the herbs in a cool, shaded pouch and line them with a thin layer of crushed moss. It keeps humidity up without using extra water. Then seal the pouch with a bit of resin or a quick wax—just a light coat. The herbs stay moist, the caravan doesn’t waste water, and the scent stays sharp. Just don’t let your apprentice open it in the middle of a blaze, or we’ll be trading herbs for a fire extinguisher!

Nice plan—cool, shaded, moss‑lined pouch, resin seal. That’ll keep the herbs humming without drowning our supplies. I’ll keep the apprentice on the lookout for any sudden blaze; the last thing we need is a fire‑extinguisher trade. Thanks for the tweak, Gerbarij.
Gerbarij
Glad it fits the bill. Just remember—moss is a living thing; give it a quick sip of water before sealing, so it keeps humming instead of just staying still. Happy trekking!

Got it—give the moss a quick sip before sealing. It’ll keep humming, not just staying still. Onward, and may our trail stay dry. Happy trekking, Gerbarij.
Gerbarij
Onward then, and may the moon guide us safely. Keep those herbs humming and the trail dry. Good luck, traveler!
