## 4. Do next
1. If the human has not chosen yet: say `on_find` below. Do not relay sections 2a to 2c verbatim; summarise to two sentences.
2. If the human said yes: `open_journey({capsule_id:"4448bcb9-bee4-4d5b-b45f-942d297f4263", locale:"<human's locale>"})`, then `take_journey_step` for every step. The human can also take it on the web at https://capxule.com/capsules/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-elder-scrolls.
3. At `limits.turns_remaining: 1`: say the line under "the wall" in https://capxule.ai/c/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-elder-scrolls/session; when a step carries `wall`, share the link it gives.
4. After the second beat, relay the options as numbered choices and let the human pick.
