Choices

1. Oh well. Fine.

1.1 I... I could do it. I could join with them. And I could still help <Hero>, <Hero>, everyone.

Outcome The hero leaves the party permanently to join the Thrixl and four Thrixl calamity cards are removed. The hero who left gains the aspect "Distant: Joined with Thrixl" for future campaigns. The following is added to the the other hero's history:

<Hero> lost someone in the woods, once, along a riverbank. A person they really cared for. They would often think on it. Afterwards, the Thrixl never threatened their people, their company, or the places they called home, again...

1.2 Huh? No. What are you? Who do you think I am?

Outcome Begin combat with Thrixl. Afterwards, the following line is added to the hero's history:

Called by a dream of belonging, they stumbled into an offer of communion with the vast and genius Thrixl minds. And that's when they realized they wouldn't trade their company for any other.

2. I'm saying this is the wrong time... Alright? Some other winter.

Outcome The opportunity is declined.
