Dark Tide Oasis Expedition / 暗潮涌动·绿洲探索线

This non-character storyline promotes the existing Sultan group task-dark-tide-oasis-expedition into a canonical content pack. Its trigger is the accumulated state of sponsorship, discovered places, Sultan conquest pressure, Maynar’s survival, and the player’s prior choices—not ownership by a single character.

The pack contains twenty raw source nodes. It begins internally with the sponsorship request (5300147 or retry 5300148) and can end in conquest betrayal, Maynar’s death or disappearance, an unfunded farewell, or a funded escape-map route.

The storyline makes the internal quest legible. It does not pretend that the current extracted graph has a source-backed edge from the Sultan overview into 5300147.

Story spine

Beat 1 — Maynar asks for sponsorship

5300147 offers 5000660 探索未知绿洲. Maynar (2000069), at least three coins, and a character expedition slot are visible. Success requires a physique/survival result of at least three, grants the discovered-oasis card 2000364, good fame, and schedules 5300150.

Failure or expiry activates 5300149, which reopens the repeatable request 5300148 after two or three rounds. The first miss is therefore delay, not silent deletion.

Beat 2 — The first dark tide

Once 2000364 is held, 5300150 opens 5000661 暗潮涌动. Sultan conquest pressure creates the first moral fork:

• spend a conquest card, gain ten coins and infamy, betray Maynar, then reach 5300151 → 5300152 → 5000662 and her solitary disappearance;
• refuse to profit from the conquest, then reach 5300153 → 5000663 and a second, nearly impossible expedition.

Beat 3 — Decide whether anyone follows

5000663 绝地探索 has three durable outcomes:

• send nobody: Maynar disappears and is presumed dead;
• send help but fail the five-success physique/survival test: Maynar dies saving the expedition member;
• send help and succeed: Maynar survives, the helper gains physique and survival, good fame rises, the prosperous-city card 2000365 appears, and 5300154 schedules the second dark tide.

Beat 4 — The second dark tide

At 5000664, the player again chooses whether to turn Maynar’s map into conquest.

• conquest grants coins and infamy, then 5300170 → 5300171 → 5000683 records her silent departure or disappearance;
• restraint reveals that Maynar falsified the map and warned the city. It leads through 5300155 to 5000665 麦娜尔的道别.

Beat 5 — Fund the departure or accept uncertainty

At the farewell, the player may give Maynar five coins.

• no funding: she leaves with only the memory of the expeditions; no later confirmation is guaranteed;
• funding: 5300156 opens 5000666 远方的乐土. Paying the messenger produces escape-map card 2000366 and advances global objective 7200161.

The final map is not a clean victory over the Sultan. It is a preserved route out, earned by refusing conquest twice and materially supporting Maynar’s departure.

Branch matrix

Branch	Immediate result	Maynar state	Future effect
Retry sponsorship	request reopens after delay	determined, still reachable	expedition remains available
Conquer first oasis	+10 coins, +infamy	betrayed; leaves alone	solitary disappearance route
Refuse first conquest	no conquest profit	bitter but still connected	deadly expedition opens
Abandon/fail expedition	no safe discovery	dead or missing	storyline closes without map
Support expedition successfully	prosperous city card, fame, companion growth	survives and warns the city	second dark tide opens
Conquer prosperous city	+10 coins, +infamy	betrayed; silently leaves	no safe escape confirmation
Fund departure	spend five coins, later messenger fee	alive beyond Sultan’s reach	distant-paradise escape map

Completion oracle

The storyline is implemented when every raw member remains accounted for, the retry loop is reachable, both conquest forks preserve Maynar consequences, expedition absence/success/failure are distinguishable, the funded farewell reaches 2000366, and the external orphan boundary remains honestly unresolved.

Non-goals

• Not a new invented overview edge.
• Not a generic exploration quest detached from Maynar’s fate.
• Not a claim that refusing conquest guarantees survival.
• Not a claim that the escape map is available without the second expedition and funded farewell.
• Not a rewrite of the raw Sultan events or rites.
