You quickly leave the hut far behind and press on through the trees. By morning, you have reached the edge of the forest. Staring out across the fields of tall crops, you see a small village lying at the base of a shallow valley. The fields are only separated by narrow tracks, which are alive with flying insects hovering in swarms.
You are walking along the track when you suddenly spot bandits ahead. They are wandering idly up the track towards you, their spears slung over their shoulders.
If you possess an Onyx Medallion, turn to 305.
If you have the Kai Discipline of Camouflage and you have reached the Kai Rank of Guardian or higher, turn to 49.
If you do not have this Special Item or this Discipline and Kai Rank, dive into the tall crops and hide by turning to 159.
