> Can we tell which direction we're currently facing?

>You've lost track of your cardinal directions at the moment. It would take you a moment to regain your bearings in that regard, given that you are in the middle of the bamboo forest and have made several pivots here and there.

> If we headed left and forward at a 45 degree angle, would there be a gap there?

>More or less. It may not be precisely that angle, but close enough as far as anything important goes.

>You make your way in that direction, slipping between between the expanding circle of bullets. The immediate left is now clear, save for the oncoming arc of bullets, but you feel you can get around this easily enough as long as there are no surprises. You note several of the faeries are fleeing now.

>You continue heading left, and into the arc of bullets. With things as they are, it's not too difficult to slip between the shots. Your left is now totally clear.

>Ahead is..reasonably clear. There's a little flak, enough to keep you from having total freedom over the air, but not enough to truly be in the way as long as you pay attention.
