It's been a few days since the crash.
You've gotten to know your fellow Survivors, gotten used to your new standard of living. Sure, your feet are throbbing and the mosquito repellant is running out, but the air is fresh, food is plentiful, and most importantly: you are alive.
You've been following the depression of the valley for awhile, keeping the mountains on both sides of you. It's odd really, how the mountains form an open corridor for you to travel down. Must be an old river that carved a valley into the canyon, long ago. You wonder how long ago the river dried up.
The mountains creep closer to either side. Whereas before they were off to the distance, now they are within distance of a thrown rock. It's almost like the walls of the earth are closing in. You decide to continue forward. It's not like there's anywhere better to go.
It's getting dark, but you continue on in search for some shelter. You don't find any, but it doesn't really matter - it doesn't rain that night and you haven't seen any dangerous animals recently.
It's when you wake up that you see that the mountains have changed, and in fact you have fallen asleep on a clearly defined road that stretches out in front of you. A road? It must mean civilization!
You stand up and look around. It turns out that instead of one road, there are four roads.
They lead off in four perpendicular directions, as far as the eye can see. No marker or plaque names the roads, and you can see no indication where any of them lead.
It's a big decision. The road you choose could affect your game drastically. Which one will you pick? How will the tribe split, and who will come with you?
