Farmhouse Emergency Rations (Wine and Stale Bread)

Bundles of wine bottles and loaves of stale bread discovered by Ian in an abandoned farmhouse, serving as emergency rations for royalist fugitives evading revolutionary soldiers. The provisions confirm the building's role as a safe house on escape routes. The travelers briefly examine them before being ambushed by Rouvray and d’Argenson, who mistake them for spies. The rations' condition underscores the fugitives' desperate circumstances during the French Revolution.
