How to work this entry

Count skips rather than estimating them. Reach is determined by bounce count and a missed throw usually means a restart.
03 STEP
Redirect the river before creating a path across it, never after.
04 STEP
Return once you have abilities from other realms. Several of her crossings are built for a mechanic that does not exist in the South.
