* MortonsFork: After the Wyvern appears and starts dropping Grimm all over Vale, Ironwood finds himself trapped between deciding whether to stay in Vale or go to Beacon. If he stays in Vale, he could help coordinate the city's defenses and evacuate the civilians, but at the cost of abandoning Beacon and leaving the students to fend for themselves. If he leaves Vale to secure Beacon, he risks losing both his army and the entire city to the Grimm. He chooses to go to Beacon and help Ozpin defend the school after deciding that the fate of a single city is not as important as guarding the relics, which could determine the fate of the entire world.
