Detailed walkthrough[]
This quest cannot be started until after completing the three previous quests Gone Fishin', Roadside Attraction, and Tourist Trap and acquiring the requested supplies of the walkie-talkies. compass, Li'l Scout lunchboxex, and medical supply kit, respectively; check each quest's article page for details on completing them. Upon completing the last of the three, this quest will automatically trigger. The map marker will point to the entrance to the ravine known as the Narrows, in the north-northwesternmost point of Zion Canyon, north of the Caterpillar's Mound.
- If Follows-Chalk is an active companion, he will remark on the Sorrows' reputation as peaceful, but fierce hunters.
After a short walk into the ravine, just outside the Sorrows camp, the player character will be met by a huntress of the Sorrows, Waking Cloud. She will affirm that they were sent by Joshua Graham to help the Sorrows and directs them to Daniel further in the ravine. One can also ask her further questions about the Sorrows' culture and beliefs, Daniel and his relationship with the tribe, her hatred of the White Legs and their leader Salt-Upon-Wounds, and the uniquity of her yao guai gauntlet (which triggers the side quest Rite of Passage; if not here, it will automatically trigger when next speaking to her).
To advance the quest, the player character must find and speak with Daniel, the New Canaanite residing with the Sorrows. He typically can be found either in the initial Sorrows camp or wandering around the rear half of the Narrows sleeping on one of several open cots close to White Bird's cave. He laments the loss of the Happy Trails expeditioners and asks for the supplies they brought. Even with them, however, Daniel will reveal that he needs further action from the Courier in order to complete plans for evacuating the Sorrows from Zion to protect them from the White Legs. Specifically, he requests them to complete several tasks around the canyon including locating a holotape map to Grand Staircase, dealing with White Legs ambushes and traps, and using a mining detonator to seal off a yao guai cave near the main escape route, starting the main quests River Monsters, The Advance Scouts, The Grand Staircase, and The Treacherous Road.
Daniel also reveals that Waking Cloud made an offer to join the Courier as their companion and guide during their latest ventures, though as with Follows-Chalk, this is entirely optional, and she can be told to remain in the Narrows when she approaches while going through the Sorrows camp to leave. Chalk himself, if he was brought as a companion, will engage in dialogue immediately after delivering the supplies to Daniel, stating that Joshua told him to help with Daniel's request for supplies and then immediately return, causing him to leave permanently as a companion and reside at the Dead Horses camp for the rest of the add-on. Both side quests associated with him, Civilized Man's Burden and Bighorners of the Eastern Virgin, can still be completed after finishing this quest by simply talking to him at the Dead Horses camp prior to finishing the main quest Gathering Storms. Cloud will also trigger Rite of Passage automatically when speaking with her, and one can also interact with her side quest A Family Affair by choosing the topic of her family in dialogue whether she joins as a companion or remains at the Sorrows camp.
When leaving the Narrows for the first time, the player character will be stopped by Joshua Graham, who recites a relevant passage from Scripture that expresses his goal to oppose the White Legs with martial force rather than evacuate Zion as Daniel intends.[1] He ultimately leaves it up to the Courier to consider what the best course of action will be after they finish scouting the canyon.

- ↑ Joshua Graham: "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. Remember, O Lord, The Children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem who said, 'Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation.' O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed. How happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. Do you know what it means?"
The Courier: "You don't want to leave Zion. You'd rather kill every last one of the White Legs."
Joshua Graham: "Given those two choices, yes. In the best of all possible worlds, they would just leave us in peace. But they won't. I don't enjoy killing, but when done righteously, it's just a chore, like any other. Practiced hands make for short work. And the good Lord knows there's much to be done here."
