The Firebird and Three Princes

Dimitri: Riding to the left is obviously a no-go, and it sounds like if you ride straight ahead you'll be poor. Ride to the right.

All right, you think you know what to do.



"All right, servant! To the right!"
"But Your Highness! The sign says that will kill me!"



Oh, wonderful. You had to pick a servant who could read.

"Well, how else are we supposed to find my horse?"
"Er..."

> Dismount the servant and walk left

"Well, ah... the sign says 'rides'. So maybe it'd be safe to go down the left path on foot?"



That does seem like it might work.



Of course, it means that you'd have to walk. How undignified. There has to be a better option.

alternatively, > Send servant forward and wait

"I've got a better idea. You walk down the path up ahead. And don't come back without my horse!"



"But Highness! I'll be cold and hungry!"



"Don't be silly, you only have to worry about that if you ride there. Now get moving!"



Now you just need to wait for that fool to return with your horse.





This is ridiculous! It's been two whole minutes! Where is that servant?



Oh. Never mind him, then. You have a plan to enact.

> You don't have time for this. Ride to the back and oh shit is that Vasi?

Now you simply need to ride to the goldsmith, and...



No! Vasili's followed you all this way!



Of course! It all makes sense now! Vasili frightened your horse off in order to lure you down here! No doubt he's planning to kill you and take the throne for himself!



Well, you won't let your scheming brother get away with this! You're going to...



Wait, what are you going to do?

convince him there is a ghost that will kill him if he keeps going this way

Trick him into giving you a piggyback ride down the right path.

Go eat something. you're starving after all that.

Vasili > Aw great he sent his servant down one of those paths. Better follow if you're going to catch up with him!

Dimitri > Wait, what if he is ready to assassinate you right now? Better just head off to the goldsmith's first.

Look really imposing and ignore his existence!

>Run him over with your horse!

wow Dimitri is a pretty terrible person
