"I trust not the enchanted fruit of this dungeon," frets Highbough. "Let us return to the surface and scavenge a meal."

Pelenwin nods disapprovingly, but realizes that they cannot stay down here for every in search of a companion that has likely met his end already.

Desmond's eyes go wide at the thought of returning from the way they came down, "Scavenge a meal from where? The crumbs on the (living) giant's tunic?"

The company still has the last remains of their rations in their packs. Enough to sustain them for a couple of days.

"We have rations with us," Ulric suggests. "Let's have a little to eat and rest before pressing on; I think the way to the right might be best."

Ulric takes a moment to consider what the others have said.

"I thought our plan was to find a way out into the ravine below? Whether or not we find our missing comrades will be a matter of luck I think. For all we know they hightailed it down the ravine and are half way to Ket by now."

"Does anybody remember the way back to the surface?" Dieter asks. "We should go back up and see what the Giant is doing.

"Then, if we still have an appetite, we can eat something and wait for the others to join us."

If we still have food, then Highbough snacks on some lembas and votes we look for more treasure. There was a door at the opposite end of the fruit room that looked promising.

Desmond is of two minds about what they should do next...

But, in general, he doesn't feel going up is a viable option.

It seems that the company will pause at the top of this stair to consider the options and to take a much needed bite to eat and sip of water from their rations.

In fact, it is only Ulric, Dieter and Highbough who can eat. Mondes and Desmond aren't hungry, and while the others are, they can no sooner bring themselves to put the bland trail rations in their mouths than a handful of dust. They can, however, take the smallest sip of water, which is wholly tasteless in their mouths.

Meanwhile, the company discusses where to turn next...

Ulric seems to advise taking the right passageway. Highbough is for turning back to the door opposite the plant. The others are undecided.

Highbough's candle is spent. But Gustave's lantern burns steadily on...

What to do?
