marycatelliSo while the hero is brooding in the mountain fastness, what is he eating?
Especially since he has other needs. Clothes. Books, perhaps. All the more when he acquires some company that needs education, but he rather wants some education himself, and his own was cut off by external forces.
To be sure it's the mountain fastness of a reclusive wizard that he laid claim to as abandoned. He could make use of the means the wizard used. Possibly even his money. The library might be a bit of a problem despite its extent.
And he can do odd jobs for minor expenses.
Then there's the question of where he can shop. He's wanted by the law, and he's not accustomed to black markets.
