The Avalanche Oracle
A reclusive oracle lives high in the mountains where avalanches are common. They claim to read the future in the patterns of falling snow. A desperate noble has hired you to reach the oracle and get a prophecy, but the journey is treacherous and the oracle is known to speak only in maddening riddles. Survive the climb, earn the oracle's favor, and interpret their enigmatic wisdom.
