As you begin unloading ingredients from your haversack, Hy springs into motion. He moves like a man possessed; his strong fingers quickly breaking down the nuts and roots, chopping the vegetables, and dressing and trimming the meat. He sets a pot upon a single Sol coil and fills it with water sprinkled with herbs. Soon the broth is boiling, and Hy throws both handfuls and pinches of herbs in equal measure into the pot.

Though the stew seems to take an eternity to cook, the first bites are well and truly worth the wait. You comment to Hy that you don’t understand how each of his creations tastes better than the last, and he smiles a little wistfully.

“You’re too kind,” he says. “However, I do wish I could try making a meal out of nothing but mushrooms. Cooking up the choicest morsels those arcology tunnels have to offer, well, that sounds like a real challenge! Stop in the next time you’re at the Station, and perhaps we can make some magic.”

Discard each flora attached to Hy Pimpot. Each Ranger soothes 4 fatigue.
