Oh hey look, you haven't made it out yet. Good going. But your efforts to make it though do not go unnoticed, you've reached an abandoned resting area and decide to park it for a few hours to rest up. God knows if its day or not outside, but you figure you're all tired enough running like hell and fighting demons, so.
[Mission:Don't sound the orc horde.Rest up]
You're still in the Baumine Mines. Get your asses moving before rats of unusual size go looking for a meal. It's dark and scary and the structures are old and dangerous. Don't die.
[Mission: Make it out of the mine]
Alright smartasses, setting the forest was not a good idea, but you managed to find each other in the end (with the exception of Dean and Isabela). The cave you stumbled into has a way through the Baumine Mines or you could go and try and navigate the deadway again. The Mines are complicated, but they don't change. The Deadway is still on fire, and who knows where the road is. So. Your choice.
But your party is tired, you should probably rest up until dawn anyway before deciding on which way to go.
[Mission: Rest up and pick your poison]
As the trees creak and groan, anything not illuminated by the light of your torches has moved. That means all the trees you once saw have now been displaced, as if they had shifted one way or another.
If you were off the path, it wont be where you left it, but it should be somewhere close. If you were on the path, well the path is still there. You're safe to keep moving, just remember that your friends are all lost right now.
Teams are as follows:Michonne and Clara (ahead of the group) Hel, Bo, Mary Eunice, Daniel, and Derek (parallel to the group) Hook, Nick, Jimmy, Sookie, Hyperion, And anyone else I forgot (on the road) Dean and Isabela (at the entrance to the deadway)
[Mission: Find the path and regroup]
So you've made it into the deadway finally, good job. Follow the road, however winding it may be, it is your best bet to getting anywhere. The further you delve into the forest, the darker it seems to get. The merchants have sold you plenty of lamp oil to keep your torches lit because you really don't want to know what comes out in the dark. Somewhere along the way you hear sobbing echoing throughout the trees. Someone in grave distress, perhaps a lost traveler. It doesn't seem to be too far off the road, no harm no foul if you trace your steps correctly.
[Mission:Investigate the sobbing]
By the next morning, the storm seems to have passed over. It seems your little group has two people split off, but no worries you have the map. You can forge onward to the deadway. About a half days walk down the road, you begin to see a large wall comprised of dead trees that just abruptly starts and crawls on into the horizon.
The road ahead, as they call it, the Baumine Deadway,the only straight path through the Baumine forest. The Baumine is comprised of dead and mangled trees packed in so tight, the light can barely make it through. Off the road, the trees make up a labyrinth of closed pathways, so don't even try to deviate if you ever want to find your way out.
Before you set off into the scary dead forest, there is a small camp of merchants settled along the forest's edge. They'll provide cheap supplies and fair warning to what lingers inside.
[Mission: Enter the Deadway]
As you make way along the trail, it comes to your attention you might have a few stragglers following you from the hotel. Not to make any trouble, you make way off path near dusk as to knock off the trail in case things get suspicious. The winds are howling anyway, and the rain is beginning to wash down. I'd look for a nice little cave or something to camp up in before the rain starts and makes everything nasty.
