FAST ANSWER / GROVESHIRE
Record the branch before choosing the beast result.
Use the first-week route as your setup, then enter Groveshire with a checkpoint. Track faction changes, Angelica's assignment, and whether you kill, curse-break, or otherwise resolve the beast before treating a recruit outcome as fixed.
- Create a checkpoint before the Groveshire branch and write down faction standing.
- Record the quest response, assigned knight, and any Angelica-specific option.
- Resolve the beast route and note which recruit or route signal appears next.
- Advance one cycle and verify the audience, map, and roster before continuing.
What this branch can change
The public route references connect Groveshire to faction balance, the beast hunt, Angelica's assignment, and the Wolf/Rufus/Silgur recruit reports. Keep those as separate outcomes; a single branch guide should not pretend they all share one trigger.
- Faction standing and alliance pressure
- Angelica's special assignment
- Beast hunt result
- The Wolf, Rufus, or Silgur route signal
- Later alliance and ending access
Branch-safe notes
If you are testing a recruit, do not also change the opening route, party size, and response. Record the exact scene and next-cycle invite so a later update can correct the route without rewriting the whole walkthrough.
