i know you said they made it to the road in your post, but i was hoping they could stay in the forest tbh. I figured they just kept walking, showing the patrat they didn't mean any harm.

If you look at the picture you will see that the road is more of a "trail" in the woods. You're not out of the forest yet, your just not in among the bushes and brush. That's how I interpreted his post.
