[ Congratulations, students, you've once again been gathered in twos and threes with little explanation for what to expect. Ozpin points to the eerie, burned-out tower which crowns the manor-- he seems to regard this as normal?-- and says: ]

Today's assignment is simple: together, you must reach the highest point of the building and deliver this gift.

[ Deliver to what? He doesn't say! He simply looks pleased with himself as he offers one of you a little package. Wrapped in wax paper and tied with twine, the whole thing is smaller than your palm. (It definitely contains a chocolate chip cookie.) ]

Some of us may find the climb more challenging than others... and for that reason I invite you to rely upon each other. Know your strengths and seek to complement your weaknesses. We shall need to assess our own strengths and shortcomings when pitted against fellow Sleepers.

Of course, to make things a bit more interesting... you will face challenges along the way.

[ Somewhere nearby, something howls. ]

Good luck.
