The Dry Wash That Wasn't
You're two miles into a narrow slot canyon with a group of five. The walls are 80 feet high and 6 feet apart. It hasn't rained on you all day — but you can see dark clouds stacked over the plateau upstream. You stop at a shallow pool and hear a faint, low rumble that wasn't there ten minutes ago.
Score multipliers rise with your accuracy. The decision window tightens after every recommended call and widens after every miss. Miss the window and the step scores zero.
