l
This is the "in the middle of nowhere" somewhere in Lower Bavaria. There's a campfire burning right next to a small river, which is lined by willow trees. South of you stretches a wide valley with meadows. It's bloody dark.
There are three obvious exits: bridge, river, meadows.
Michael is resting here, Fiona is resting here, Martin (sitting next to the fire), Sandra, Jan, Oliver, Levente, Andrea and Ralf.

A lot of meadows.
You can see the shape of several weird people carrying torches.

You say in Bavarian: Ralf, you got a torch?

// Quite some walking.

You say in Bavarian: I wonder what those people are doing out there.

Oliver says in German: Absolutely no idea.

You say in Bavarian: If they wear white robes and white pointy hats with masks, I'm leaving.

Jan goes back to the second row.

You peer at Jan.

You tell Jan in Bavarian: That won't help, because I extinguish my torch and run away, and you don't know the way.

You grin.

Jan grins.

Jan says in German: Asshole!

You say in Bavarian: I know.

// Some more walking.

Oliver says in German: I think we bloody lost them.

You say in German: You can't see 'em?

Jan says in German: I can't either.

You say in Bavarian: Damn. Maybe we should head back. But we cross the river and don't take the path.

Oliver says in German: What river?

You say in Bavarian: Over there. There's a river.

Jan says in German: Alright, let's go.

// Even more walking and some stumbling.

Jan says in German: Bloody dark here and my torch is going to burn down. Wolfgang, you know the way?

You say in German: Sure thing. ... Just let me look a moment. Well, there are trees.

You go hmmm.

// Some silence and worried faces.

You say in Bavarian: Did I tell you the story of the Werewolfgang.

Oliver chuckles.

Jan chuckles.

Ralf goes hmmm.

You say in Bavarian: OK, I think this way.

You point north.

// Stumbling, walking and crashing into trees.

Oliver says in German: Guys, there's a wall of stinking nettles.

You say in Bavarian: Yes, that doesn't look good. And I'm wearing shorts.

Jan says in German: Wolfgang, you -do- know the way?

You say in Bavarian: Uhm, yeah, sure thing.

Jan says in German: What?

You now speak in German.

You say in German: Yes, I do.

You now speak in Bavarian.

Jan says in German: You better.

Jan peers at you.

// Stumbling around for a while.

You say in Bavarian: Damn, I know there's a river, but there are 10 yards of stinging nettles ahead.

Jan charges into the stinging nettles.

You say in Bavarian: I am -so- not walking into those nettles.

solo on

You switch in the team-solo-mode.

west

You are in the middle of nowhere. It's bloody dark. There is grass and bushes all around you. You are alone. Your torch isn't particulary bright either.

You say in Bavarian: Finally, the river!

Jan says in German: We just wade through it.

Oliver tells Jan in German: Yeah, but you don't wear shoes!

Ralf says in German: I'm wearing sneakers.

You say in Bavarian: Now don't be wimps and come one!

Ralf says in German: I'm wearing sneakers.

Jan jumps into the river. SPLASH.

Jan says in German: Hey, it's not that cold.

Oliver asks in German: How deep is it? I have to roll up my trousers.

You pat yourself on your head.

You say in Bavarian: We are in an enclosure for trees.

Jan grins.

Jan says in German: Can anyone see Ralf?

You say in Bavarian: Yeah, I think I see his torch over there. Quite faint, though.

You say in Bavarian: Maybe we should light him his way from across the river here.

You climb across the fence.

Oliver climbs across the fence.

// A minute and one fence later...

You shout in Bavarian: Raaaalf, you're OK?

Someone shouts in German from across the river: My torch just went out and I'm hemeralopic (EDIT: night-blind)!

You say in Bavarian: Oh shit.

You shout in Bavarian: Can you see the path?

Someone shouts in German from across the river: Not really, but I can feel the gravel with my feet.

Jan says in German: He's fine.

Oliver says in German: Yeah. If he doesn't show up in an hour at the campfire, we can always go look for him.

Oliver grins evilly.

You shout in Bavarian: Alright then. Just follow the path and we pick you up at the bridge.

Jan says in German: Maybe.

Jan grins.

// Later at the bridge

Ralf joins your team.

You tell Ralf in Bavarian: Dude, you're so lucky you reached the path before your torch died.

You say in Bavarian: Good idea! Extinguish the torches.

Oliver extinguishes his torch.

You extinguish your torch.

Oliver says in German: We charge up to them when we give a signal.

Oliver runs east.

You say in Bavarian: Uhm, good idea, but wait! What signal and who gives it...?

You sigh deeply.
