You grab the first bottle on the bottom shelf and see that it contains salt tablets. On the label it says they are for dehydration but you never heard of such a thing. The second bottle on the top shelf is half full with iodine. The lable says it's poison so you don't understand how you could use this for water. There are no other labels on the bottle or first aid manual to give you instructions. Do you want to keep any of these items?

If we grab this stuff we should grab a handbook too, it would probably explain how to use them. I say we keep the iodine and leave the salt.

Sheep do we need to play in character and pretend not to know how to use this stuff?

If a player knows how to use an item that's found, or knows what a sign or symbol means, they may share their knowledge at any time.

Take a look at the handbook real quick, see if we can find anything about these things, I have a few ideas but not sure if they would work. Be quick about it though, dont spend more then 5 or so minutes trying to find info.

Well a few drops of iodine can be used to purify water but I don't know how many since this is not the kind backpackers use. This is antiseptic stuff we could use to clean wounds. The salt stuff is probably not table salt. They make some special stuff that helps your body absorb the maximum amount of water when you drink. It's for people who have severe dehydration like from an illness. I don't think we'll need that. The problem is we still don't have anything resembling a canteen that I can think of. We'd need to be able to measure the water to know how much iodine to use. I think we better just split.

Sounds good, put everything back and lets get moving

Sensing that your time in this closet is running low you decide to leave. You have room in your hobo sack for most of the items in the first aid kit but you're not sure if you should take them. They could have a use down the road so this could be a mistake but it's your choice. If you still want to leave, where do you want to go?

lets bag the iodine in case we get cut and take a look (and listen) up the stairs

Take the salt tablets too, and the band aids, if we have the room lets use it.

You decide you might need the salt, iodine and bandaids, so you pack them into your hobo sack and head over to the stairs.

uhhhhhhhhhhh eat the salt and throw the iodine away
