Over the next hour, Jake took the opportunity to tour the entire compound. He mapped the entire village with Xi's help and made sure to memorize everything he could with his almost photographic memory.
He quickly became aware of a few things. There were 73 participants in total, for exactly 73 buildings including his own. Among these dwellings, there was also a spacious manor house on the east side of the lake.
In the center of the village, along the main street, some of these buildings had other functions such as the Bakery, the Grocery, the Blacksmith's Shop, the Tannery or the Tavern.
The village was bordered by the lake to the North, the forest to the West, the mine to the East and the farmlands to the South. The manor house was to the Northeast, while his own residence as Forest Warden was at the far West of the village.
Most importantly, he didn't find any way out. If this escape route existed, it was very well hidden. It would take time to locate it.
I hope all these roles don't lose you too much. Some roles may seem underwhelming, but it may also hide something else. Not all the participants Jake met are necessarily honest.
