Firewood was the easiest for all three foragers to obtain, but Tal negotiated a particularly large stock that required him to go to his old home and hitch up one of the dogsleds to transport it all. It was of a good quality, too; seasoned and dry, with low sap content. Lantern oil - good lantern oil, at least - was a little harder to find in quantity this time of year, but Tal and Alys both had trouble finding enough to get by. Luckily Sah wasn't constrained in the same way, and his magically-created oil was plentiful enough to make up the difference and ensure that they would all have a bright LongNight, even without the sun and moon and stars in the sky.
It was blankets where Alys really shone. Though she and Sah both had higher standards than Tal, the seer was able to get a better read on the merchants and to negotiate better trades on Tal's credit, getting more for less.
"Hey, uh... thanks again," the courier said while they divvied up their spoils and separated them out into three piles. "Lemme know if I can return the favor sometime." He flashed both of his helpers a shy grin as Boreal claimed the softest blanket from his stash for herself and carried it proudly to her new corner.
~Fin~
This concludes the PQ! Thank you so much for your help with Tal's new home! :D
