After the dust settles, there's nothing ushering you forward or demanding your attention. There's just a cold, dead forest and a bunch of bodies reminding you that you failed and you suck. You're going to have to get your shit together and return to the others still behind at camp with the bad news.

[ mission: recover. for current alive/dead status ]

The majority of your group is still near the mouth of the cave or thereabouts where the shit went down. You've decided to stay there for the night to let your injured recover, but in the meantime a party is forming to search for the missing. They're meeting on the edge of the group while the others set up camp, search and bury the dead (don't wanna attract bears do you. that's how you get bears), and participate in group therapy.

So far the search party consists of Michonne, Nick, and Dean (Sam is there too crazy phone). If you're going with, take whatever you think you'll need and meet them. Otherwise, help with the camply duties.

[Mission: Go with the search party to find the missing or stay behind and take care of the injured

BTDUBS this post is only set like a couple minutes after the last one so it's not hours of time missed]

Look at the mess you created. All what's left of the old muppets (their clothes) lay scattered around the crystal cave entrance, Elle's corpse lays in the puddle of blood a dagger in the throat can create... not to even mention shane in the forest. You're surrounded by red snow. Hook is close to dying and most of the cardboards were knocked out too.

You still got the map. Rumpel and Faith are gone so no sense going after them... Except it looks like Mitchell, the Doctor and Kaidan are gone too! Wow!

[ mission: gather together and heal what you can. see here. ]

in the mountain: It's hard to tell inside the cave but the sun is rising outside. Time to go! The old lady will show you the way out once you've gathered in the plaza. The locals don't have much food to share with you but hopefully their blessings for the journey warm up your cold hearts at least a bit.

in the forest: The first thing you notice when you wake up is that it's going to start snowing. But don't worry, it's not a long way til the secret entrance of the crystal cave.

in the mountain: There's a city waiting for you on the other side of the gate. It's quiet inside and you can tell that the city has seen better days. Now it's half empty and there are only few residents on the streets. They look familiar, don't they? In the middle of the plaza is a small pedestal and on top of that a dim crystal. It's not bright or impressive but clearly Important.

in the forest: Uhh trees?

[ mission: caaaaaaamp! ]

in the mountain: Walk deeper into the crystal cave and find the bridge. Follow it and eventually you'll find a rusty gate in the middle of the crystals. There are no guards and the gate is unlocked, but opening it will take some muscle work.

in the forest: Get your shit back together. There are some buildings where you can spend the night, they were probably built by traveling hunters.

[ here are the teams for your convenience. the cellphones are running out of batteries soon. ]

Once the cave entrance crashes down the whole cave shifts, revealing a path that leads even deeper down to the crystal cave. Follow the noise of the running water and maybe you'll eventually find the bridge to the town hidden inside earth.

Things aren't looking so bad for the group that is now stuck outside either... well, they are if you don't get a move on because the noise from the entrance caving in is soon causing another unicorn avalanche. Anyway! Surprisingly the map shows the location of the hidden crystal town (hmm isn't that suspicious) and it seems like it is a few day's march to the other (hidden) entrance beyond the forest. Get walking.

[ mission: both teams keep moving. players decide which group your character's going with before the entrance goes down because there will be no zapping through the crystals. ]

Either you were dropped into the snow at the foot of the mountain or if you were less lucky you find yourself in the cold forest. The women can attempt to land wherever they please.

The griffins without riders are turning back and heading home. I hope you enjoyed traveling with us and welcome aboard again.
