Very well put! I like it. And the nice thing is that this is all 'in the head' rather htan on paper. Lots of paths do give options but most folks won't even recognize a choice. That's the wonderful property of secrets. Something very inobvious could be one group's main branch (look for a bird... it should be on a branch. Then you just walk into the woods... you should find a path)

Oh, btw, remember to give those coins to the Red Guards on your way out.

Really liking this thread!
