Duke Revier's Grand Game Emporium

Video: Elly's Flashback Last time, Fei destroyed his idyllic border village himself, and was thus shunned out of it forever. Citan vaguely suggested perusing the Avehian cities, and we do see a city sitting enticingly in the distance. But there's a vast tract of forest between it and him. The forest is not very welcoming. It's a dense, dimly lit thicket, with tall trees constantly dominating the view, and tall cliffs hemming in the path.

Speaking of which, every attack uses up fuel, a highly limited resource that can only be feasibly recharged at certain refueling robots/stations. So you need to be more careful with what attacks you throw out, or even what...
