It seems very strange, even ludicrous, that when character accepts quest to escort someone over long distance, the escortee has audacity to say: I'm hungry, it's your duty to provide me with food" emphasize mine, paraphrased.
Uhm, no. Bring your own chow if you want to go from Kiesse to Sartola over 5 nights. If my character wasn't a nice fella, the escortee would be put to death for that demand. Whole 200meters outside Sartolais village.
...take him behind the sauna and bury in a bog...
