Soon enough, Oz opens up to you. "It's just…this place…it means a lot to me and my mom. My great grandpa and grandma built the main hall of the lodge way back when we first came up through the Bitter Pass. These effigies, they're not just to honor the beings we've hunted. They're a record of nearly every hunter that's ever visited the lodge, plus my whole family!. It's been around for more than a hundred years. And when Mom passes…" He trails off.

You think you understand what's troubling him now. When Viv passes, it'll likely be up to Oz to maintain the lodge and keep it running. It must be a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of one so young. You tell Oz that his future is not set in stone. His mother is still young, besides—there is plenty of time before that responsibility falls to him.

He nods absently. You sit in comfortable silence awhile longer. Oz continues to carve the effigy, and it steadily takes shape.

Discard Oz. Each Ranger soothes 2 fatigue.
