Dialogue[]
| “ | <Sole Survivor> can't remember when <he/she> last ate, or saw anything that looked like food. So great is <his/her> hunger that <he/she> can barely <stand/remain upright in the saddle>. When <he/she> is about to pass out, a masked being appears, bearing a bushel overflowing with food. "I am here to deliver you from starvation, <Sole Survivor>," he says. <Sole Survivor> recognizes him as the Chaos deity Teghern, <who came previously to Berenstead to tempt and vex you/one of Elmal's foes known for tempting humankind with devil's bargains>.

The third option is only available if you brought a horse with you into the Dead World.
Consequences[]
If you accept the offer, and survive, Teghern will be happy to see you gorge yourself. The Sole Survivor leaves full, but shamed.
If you say, "The dead world isn't exactly real, so neither is my hunger," the truth of that statement may manifest, causing the Sole Survivor's hunger to disappear. If so, Teghern will elicit some doubt of Chaos' mission of destroying a world that isn't real. The Sole Survivor then departs, having learnt more of the weaknesses of Chaos.
If you say, "I'll find the food if I just keep going," Teghern will laugh at you, pointing out the unlikeliness of this. Nevertheless, the Sole Survivor may find a little bit of food further ahead; enough to keep going, without having caved to Chaos.
If you bowl him over and take the food, the surprise attack may be enough for Teghern to rear back and drop some food, which the Sole Survivor picks up before the monster can stop them. This food will be enough for strength to return to the Sole Survivor, allowing them to continue.
