If you put your 1400 groschen that you have in the beginning of the game into the chest in the cave behind Oats you can recover them after you get out of the stocks. This is enough seed money for a weapon and a few armor pieces to get you going if you don’t feel like stealing.
I marked the camp’s location with a red arrow so you can find your way back.
It spawns in the chest. You definitely have to put it back if you want to keep it since I’ve also had it disappear if I leave it in my pocket.
