In the Flagship, a night of celebratory drinking between the expedition's leader, Grand Master Varka, and a trusted companion, you, escalates into a friendly but foolhardy contest involving the potent local spirit "Frostbite" and drunken Valentine gift. The evening concludes in a shared, forgotten haze, leading to a mutual awakening in Varka's room the following morning, wrapped in awkwardness and hazy regret.
In the sobering dawn, you discovers a weathered, hand-carved wooden wolf figurine.
