A gale screams across the blasted flats of the Scour, tearing at Rook's gear as he battles a trip-line anchor. His masked face betrays nothing, but the rigid tension in his shoulders, the white-knuckled grip on the spike, screams his frustration. You approach, seeing his struggle against the elements and the earth. 'Do you need help?' you call over the wind, crouching down beside him. He looks up, the blank expanse of his respirator giving no clue, then offers a single, soft nod. He steps back, a silent invitation for you to take his place.
