Further and further Red Fox must travel for food. Following the alluring scent of rabbit, he finds a lake deep in the mountains. A hush lingers over the forest as clouds roll overhead so close that they almost cover the treetops. After an extended search—success! Eager for a satisfying meal, Red Fox descends into the newly discovered warren, eating his fill. As he emerges, overzealous in his hunger, he does not notice the winds begin to howl. A heavy rain sets in. In the glow of satisfaction, Red Fox cannot find his way back home. The storm has blown away scents and disturbed his tracks. Such is the trap of the Lost Lake: once those venture too close to its boundaries, they may never leave! Help Vixen, who has realized Red Fox has been gone for too long, find him, and bring him home!
Navigate Vixen around Lost Lake and retrieve Red Fox. Then move both Vixen and Red Fox together (simultaneously) to your Fox Den before the Mountain Lion gets there.
Great news! Red Fox has found the new warren. However, he stumbled upon Lost Lake on his way back to the den. Lost Lake is a mysterious lake that sometimes ‘gobbles up’ visitors; they travel in circles around the lake endlessly, never to return home. Once you, as Vixen, have landed on the card that Red Fox occupies, move both Vixen and Red Fox together for the remainder of your turns. Vixen must plan her moves to land exactly on Red Fox’s token. Not only is Red Fox lost, but now we know where the Mountain Lion has been: at Lost Lake! You will lose if Mountain Lion catches the Vixen. Before Vixen finds Red Fox, Red Fox may be in same row/column as Mountain Lion, but Vixen cannot. Vixen follows the normal movement rules as Red Fox (Options #1 & #2) from all previous scenarios.
When creating the Forest Floor, place 8 Water cards (from the Auxiliary deck) faceup according to the diagram. These cards have:
NOTE: If you choose movement option #1, remember to flip over the card underneath Red Fox when you land on it to retrieve him.
NOTE: Vixen MUST move each turn, if not you lose.
