Too relevant. I’ve been collecting EVERYTHING, including cracked buckets. Everything extra gets thrown in a backpack or pouch. If i run out of carry capacity, I toss the backpack or pouch into camp. When we find a merch end I have like 5 backpacks, all with like 300-500lbs of shit in it, and dump them in their inventory to trade for fabric dyes and alchemical ingredients.
I do feel kinda bad going back to the merchant later and seeing all that useless shit in his inventory for sale. Then I sell him more stuff and the bad feeling is gone as I forget he exists.
I had that bad feeling myself, recently. “This merchant is in an extremely dangerous place,” I thought. “And here I am, overloading them with 39 scimitars and the equivalent contents of half a library and some dude’s entire ribcage just so I can take a scroll off them. What happens if and when they have to run? They’ll never make it. They’d have to ditch all of it just to have a chance.”
So I just started stealing. It’s for them. I’m out here saving lives, and not even needing your thanks. Just saying it would be nice.
