So I grabbed my caravan from the stable in Crossing and started doing my contracts starting at crossing guild. Just into goblins, my caravan animals die.
First, I thought that stables actually fed my caravan. I used to break out the feedbag when I got my caravan back from the stable, but noticed that they were completely full. Didn't pay 4 gold to get my caravan so it could die 2 minutes later.
Second, my crate is now on the ground and I have no idea how to get it on a new caravan now.
So if anyone knows how to get crates on the ground onto caravans, please reply.
