"Sometimes," he began, once everyone had settled in. "We may not neccessarily know we are on a quest until after it's already begun. Other times, we are lucky enough to have time to prepare for a quest ahead of time. Today, we're going to do the latter. Before you, you see a number of supplies. Your pack can only hold a certain amount. You must choose which of these items you think will be the most useful, and pack accordingly."

"My reasoning lay mostly in the fact that I did not want you to simply find a way to carry everything," Thor explained, "but rather to think about what you may encounter and prioritize some items over others. But," he smiled. "That is a good point. Clothing with pockets may be a useful wardrobe choice for future classes."
