A Narrow Trail
On both sides of the trail the green forest stretches out as far as one can
see. The first tree looks the same as the next and the narrow trail is the
only thing to be trusted. Since there is nothing but old trees to the west
and east the most logical choice would be to follow the trail that
continues north and south with forest all around it.

A semi-circular wall of towering trees forms a small grove here. In the

the trees. The ground is also clear of leaves in a near perfect circle in
the center of the clearing. A small pool of water, surrounded by smooth
stones, rests quietly in the middle of the grove. It would not take much
more than a smouldering cinder to set off a massive forest fire in the

The Crossroads
The animal path splits in four ways here, north, east, west and south. To
the north the deep forest continues as far as the eye can reach. To the
east another path, slightly wider than this one, stretches a long way,
ending by a large building of some sort. South the forest breaks up into a
light forest and to the west the ground gets a little sunken.

A Narrow Trail
On both sides of the trail the green forest stretches out as far as one can
see. The first tree looks the same as the next and the narrow trail is the
only thing to be trusted. Since there is nothing but old trees to the west
and east the most logical choice would be to follow the trail that
continues north and south with forest all around it.

It's not often you can point out exactly where a fight was lost, but this is it. Right here. Really my fault for trying to regroup somewhere the fight might keep going instead of somewhere safer without knowing exactly what I had to work with.

No reason for us to have really lost that. They had two people that were effective in that room and one was already low. If "someone is in trouble" and they narrate to follow up for face-off, follow up instead of chasing solo, dicking them over, and inevitably screwing over the fight as a whole. Could have easily had that.
