READ ONE:

If you’ve completed RESCUE (VIRA):

You’re sitting in your tent, just waking up, when there’s a shout from the path. Zek Tsal is riding by on his stilt-horse. He doesn’t stop, but tosses you a bundle and calls “Vira says thanks for saving her!” before riding away. You unwrap it to find stacks of fragrantly spiced pemmican.

Each Ranger gains one energy in an aspect of their choice for the first round.

If you’re currently on RESCUE (VIRA):

Vira has stopped responding, and her breathing is shallow. You can’t move her, but you’re worried she may suffer permanent injury without the help of a healer. All you can do is light a smoky signal fire and hope for rescue.

Luckily, that evening you see the Swift soaring through the sky to your position. You later learn that a boat along the Silverfin spotted the smoke and reported it once they reached their destination. You load Vira onto the Swift. A few moments later the glider launches high into the air, on its way to Lone Tree.

Complete RESCUE (VIRA), and record HELPED RESCUE VIRA on the campaign tracker.

Otherwise:

You receive word from a stilt-horse courier that Vira has been found. Apparently when nobody else went looking for her, Kal Iver went out and found her nearly unconscious at the base of a tree. Thankfully, her injuries were treatable, and everyone expects a full recovery.

If you have SEARCH (VIRA), complete it. If you don't, gain that mission and immediately complete it. Record KAL RESCUED VIRA on the campaign tracker.
