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

<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.
