With Naya and Tox’ar, you race across the plateau, then begin to pick your way along the rocky clifftop. A small forest village lies below, and you can see the river snaking past it.

“There!” calls Naya, and sure enough, you can see three orcs with Polki in tow. They have reached the other end of the cliff, where a vertiginous rope bridge leads to the next rocky spire.

“If they cross that bridge, and then cut it…” muses Tox’ar.

“But if we wait here…” says Naya, almost at the same time.

The orcs are far ahead. Should you follow?
