Values and uses
Completion and hand-in
Use the current objective and the completion conditions below to check this step.
Where this area check counts
With this quest step active, enter the shaded area marked 1. This check is entering the area; any subsequent scene, dialogue or rewards are separate effects described on this page.
1 — Area checked by this step
Scene landmarks
- A — Forest guard: initial position
Relative positions from the 1.009.1 scene. Character markers show their initial scene positions and may move with the story. The diagram omits walls and elevation; it does not prove a walkable route or a save playtest.
How this step starts
To start this step, complete the linked earlier port encounter and let the foreman finish his walk to the warehouse. Enter either departure area shown on that page, return to him, and use the prepared warehouse conversation. Wait for it to end and control to return, then use the warehouse front entrance shown there.
The entrance starts this step. Before following its objective, finish the warehouse conversation by choosing “Supplies”, then “Why are you doing all this?”, and wait for control to return. Those departure areas belong to the earlier warehouse sequence; entering them alone does not complete the current objective. Keep this page’s own completion requirements.
Previous step
Continue through the following scene
When you reach the forest-guard area, let the automatic approach and the conversation with the two guards finish. This scene returns control after their explanation; it does not itself give you a forest pass.
Continue with the linked village pass objective and the return-to-the-guards step. Their separate pass requirements still apply.
Next task steps
These follow-ups retain earlier access conditions, other control locks and later completion requirements. This is configuration/script analysis, not a save-based playtest or certification of the entire activation chain.
Later checks and interruptions
Approaching the forest checkpoint can bring the guards’ warning and move you back to their checkpoint position. Carry one forest pass in your backpack or tool belt: the check then opens the first forest guard’s conversation. The check itself does not consume the pass. Without it, the warning ends without opening that conversation.
This later pass check ends when you complete the following pass-return step; do not treat it as a permanent requirement to carry the pass after returning it:
Forest Pass · Show the Forest Pass to the guards at the Forest Outpost.
These are later results of the current step. Its own completion conditions, earlier access and other story restrictions still apply. The source checks do not establish recovery instructions for an unusual saved state.
Connected quest steps
Completing this quest starts
- Into the Forest · The guards won't let me into the forest. I should ask Jully in the Village Tavern about it.
- Forest Pass · Show the Forest Pass to the guards at the Forest Outpost.
These are direct starts in completion scripts. Separate entries can be alternative routes, not a checklist. Event-driven starts and other conditions are listed separately where verified.
Recorded preceding quests
The checks above apply while this quest is active. This page includes the source-checked actions, dialogue steps and transitions shown above. The full earlier activation chain, intervening events, area access and dialogue visibility have not all been verified. Recorded preceding quests provide context; they do not guarantee that an option is available. An explained completion-effect list does not establish a complete walkthrough.
