Survive · Thirst kills quieter than infected

Water and wells

Wells and pumps are free. Ponds are a delayed death unless you can boil or tablet.

Drink first

You last longer hungry than dry. A well or village pump is the first landmark that matters. Fill a bottle if you find one. Hands work until then.

Lakes and ponds want charcoal, tablets, or a boil. Don't wait to see how it goes. Kane joking about being a little thirsty means he is dying.

A pot and a bottle turn any well into a kitchen. That's a kit, not clutter. Don't walk inland dry.
