My RPG "Arkantis"

Bah, I have plans.
No more off topic.
Jareth , You wake up a little ways outside of the city of marin where you had camped the night before. Now you have 2 options, hunt for food there is a large population of deer and some small game that roam the area around the city walls. You only have your sword with you so hunting would be difficult but its less costly, and you are short on cash. Your alternative is to go into marin and aquire some food at the tavern and possably seek some employment. A bite to eat in marin is actully quite cheap at 2 peices of silver for a plate of food and a bit of ale.
What do you choose?
