120-MINUTE PLAN
0-10: Opening agreement
10-20: Arrival
20-35: Records and tools
35-50: An independent trail
50-55: Break
55-75: The immediate problem
75-95: The final choice
95-110: Home and aftermath
110-120: Closing and epilogues

Follow both investigations; take the break before the immediate problem.

At 75 minutes, settle the immediate problem using a safe approach without another roll. At 95 minutes, finish the final method and begin the return.

With 10 minutes left, first secure the immediate goal: Send the hill station a simple query and read its maintenance reply. Mark the immediate goal safe only once the people or resource are secured. Then, if no final method was used: Close the shutter and publish a dated correction with no survey claim. Mark the fallback method and read the cost ending. Give each character an epilogue; do not bypass the safety step.
