PICTURE THE SCENE

At sunset, you set out with a small patrol toward a mountain guard post. Rengoku expects you at dawn. The message you must deliver is sealed in a case; along the way, you will record the condition of the crossings and choose how to navigate them together. There are no rankings. The forest, however, won't follow every detail of the map.
