Dace places a comforting hand on Oura’s shoulder. “You’ve nothing to fear,” she says. “If you fall, I will summon a cushion of air to carry you gently to the ground.”

“Are you sure it will work?” asks Oura. “You’ve done this before, right?”

“Of course!” says Dace, displaying the same brand of confidence you’ve witnessed in her brother. “I’ve carried myself on the wind dozens of times. Hundreds! Theoretically, carrying someone else should be more or less the same. It’s perfectly safe.”

Oura’s eyes widen for a moment. Then, with a look of determination on her face, Oura nods, turns, and begins her ascent.

As you watch her climb, you feel a sudden stir of emotion.

Rangers Choose

A) You feel inspired to join her.

Without giving it a second thought, you remove your pack and follow Oura’s example. After hours of climbing, you reach the summit shortly after she does. Dace didn’t need to so much as lift a finger. Exhausted but invigorated, you gaze upon the Valley. “I can’t wait to tell Quisi,” says Oura.

Each Ranger discards all their FIT energy and soothes all fatigue. Record MADE THE CLIMB on the campaign tracker.

B) You feel relieved to be on solid ground.

You watch Oura climb. It takes her many hours to reach the summit. When she does, you hear her whoop in celebration. “Ready to come down?” Dace shouts. In answer, Oura leaps from the cliff. After the longest moment of your life, Dace gestures toward her with her conduit. You feel the wind whip around you, then you watch in amazement as Oura floats gently to the ground.

“You see?” Dace says with a grin. “Perfectly safe.”
