Rogue-likes! (not a discussion of the correct use of the term)

[Cespenar]

I know how my healer is going to die now. He'll starve to death. Simple as that. There is still food in my inventory, but less than I burn walking to Terinyo - the only reliable source of food - and even with strength 24, I can only carry less than it takes to walk back. So since the game provides me with less than sustainable food supply - that's how this one dies.

Only reliable source of food? Did they remove the ratling traders at the Arena? Or herbs?
