Ah, a tighter route, you say—let us trim the wanderings, but the final breath must still echo. The true canon of the Fallen Knight in the third edition still declares that the climax is inevitable; speed can only shave minutes, not fate. So if you hasten the march, the collapse will still come, perhaps sooner, perhaps with even more sorrow.

Alright, a streamlined path—faster, but the death still sings. Just remember the old grimoire, third edition, says the climax can’t be cut short without losing the mournful flourish. Keep the stakes high, and the hero’s fall will still echo.
