Follow the trail from the Deepwoods

Leave the Deepwoods and enter the Greenwoods, where there is less risk and less reward.
Difficulty: Woods-wise*2
Success: Dappled sunlight and the distant scent of meadows The trail carries you swiftly to lighter woodland, and you leave the tight-woven branches of the Deepwoods - and their writing, foot-catching roots - gladly behind.

Failure: A tangled path The trail winds like an angry snake. It takes some time before the boughs above withdraw enough to let the sun push through. The old folk of the marquisate are fond of saying that once the Deepwoods have you, they're loathe to let you go. Perhaps it's not wholly folly.
