== Synopsis ==
Ryoka arrives in the Lands of the Fey, on hilltops surrounded by portal stones and magnificent flowers. She travels onward, until she gets to a fork in the road, and spends a while deciding which way to go, towards the City or towards the Forest. She realizes she's wasted time when the four Faerie warriors emerge from the portal, and one calls the Wild Hunt to chase her. She runs towards the forest.

The three other warriors return to the party in Riverfarm, to deny the Four uninvited intruders.{{TBA}}
