Help for Ragnit will not come in time. But meager hope is yours, in the form of the village elder, Bronwyn Elm. Grandfather to one of your band, he presents you with three paths to possible survival: brave a route through the Hoarspine that none dare, as it is inhabited by a giant beast and ravaged by vicious weather. Delve into a cavern system of an ancient people’s tombs where none have returned. Or cast yourself on the mercy of the foe by surrendering as their servants in hope of later escape. Choose your path now, and pray that fortune spares some of your number, lest the army of the Jarl seal your doom.
