The polar bear plunge was a risky move, Atbash had to admit, but if plenty of other people had done it, then surely things would be okay? Besides, The Hailcaller thought to herself. We've got plenty of people ready if things turn sour. Of course, if something did happen to their allies, it meant that there might be some repercussions there but Atbash hoped the leaders would be understanding. Maybe I should explain the risks first... Yeah, that would probably be the best idea.

After everyone was done with fishing, Atbash had the help of some NPCs in breaking more of the ice on the lake to the point where it was no longer frozen over. "Alright everyone, come over here for a Polar Bear Plunge!" The she-cat called, hoping to catch the festival-goers' attention. "A Polar Bear Plunge is where you dive into the water and swim to the other side. However, I urge you guys to be careful as hypothermia is a possibility. If you feel like you're being turned into ice - literally - or pass out, please try to call out for help or swim to shore as quickly as you can." Atbash quickly went on, a concern frown on her face. "We'll be having hot chocolate and such back at camp after this event, but those who need to get out and get warm will be escorted to camp immediately and given the necessary items, like heated blankets and such."
