Let's activate the broader map and work our way using that. Create a compass rune and an illusionary dummy rune.
+1, and this is awesome.
Yeah, I think we should head into the ravine...
+1.
You quickly jury-rig a runic compass and align your map with north before activating the spell written on the parchment. The paper glows as the ink waters down and rearranges itself into a rough map of your surroundings.
You discover that the road is north of you - reasonably close, but also in the same direction as the hunter and the big cat. The rocky area leads back towards the mountains, quickly merging with the stony cliffs. The thicket is to your south, while the ravine heads east, curving south around the thicket before splitting, branching north and east.
However, you could probably climb out of the ravine at a couple different spots. The nearest one seems to be a deer trail that heads north and crosses the road, but a second one farther east leads up into the thicket. From the topographic map, you can tell some object lies across the ravine, possibly a fallen log - you could get across it and continue east, if you wanted.
Or you could follow through the ravine. In some ways it'd be safer - it'd certainly be harder from creatures on the surface to find you - but you don't know what might be lurking in the darkness.
Paths:
- East through the ravine, heading north at the fork (towards the road).
- East through the ravine, heading south at the fork (around the far side of the dark thicket).
- North out of the ravine, along the deer trail towards the road.
- East out of the ravine, across the log and brushing past the dark thicket.
+1, and this is awesome. The writing and art are both fantastic.
Finally not on a phone and I must say, your art and writing are top class, now have a good day!
There's nothing wrong with your game. It's great, possibly one of the best I've seen from what little we've played of it. The story's great, the art's great, the characters are great...I can't say the magic is great because we've used it only once (and it was a good once) but trust me - you're doing excellent.
Thanks for the kind words. I tend to have problems with second-guessing myself when I should be first-guessing and sticking with it, so I apologize if I start to sound neurotic and panicky. I'll try to rein it in.
Also, we'll have color again in the next update.
