Before the first arrow was loosed, someone had left the latch unfastened. I sent troops toward the nearest route before checking the cat on the map, expecting the short road to be safe; the map gave me a worse path instead, and I paid in a wasted march and time. Check the cat first, note which route it points toward, then choose your target and send. Niko saw it before I did; Allie Blu was stealing his lobster treats.
