Expected: When you use the branch it should move you so you can proceed south.

Actual: When you use the branch you get an empty parse. You have to
look" in order to see where you are. When you try to proceed south you fall breaking bones.

I was able to reproduce this ten times with no success. This started after the realm crashed.

It might have been an item you were wielding are carrying that was causing the issue when you were trying to "use" the item.

Standing Amidst the Fog
A heavy fog surrounds you as you carefully measure each footstep to make
sure you don't step off the trail. When you squint you can just make out
dim rocklike shapes amidst the dense white mist to the north, east, and
south. A strong wind blows from the west, chilling you slightly. As you
gaze out you cannot see the trail at all, and you wonder if it would be
a good idea to continue. As you pause to consider you notice the top of
a small stick jutting out from behind one of the rocks.


A long branch sits here with a small metal hook attached to the end.
A spiraling tree protrudes from a rock here, leaning with the blowing wind.

You get a long stick with a hook on the end.

use branch

You reach the long pole out into the mist. Feeling around you catch
something on the metal hook. Drawing the pole slowly back you realize
you have pulled back a set of heavy woven ropes. Upon closer inspection
you realize it is actually the end of a bridge. Securing it to one of
the rocks you shudder to think what might have happened had you
ventured to the south without it.

Crossing the Rope Bridge
The winds roar past as you step out onto the rope bridge. The bridge
swings wildly in the wind, though the thick woven fiber rope seems capable
of sustaining powerful gusts. Looking out you cannot see very far, and as you
glance downward into the mist you realize you might be a little better off
that way. Through the clouds you can catch a glimpse of mountain peaks above
you in almost every direction. As you advance further you can see the side of
the mountain as you step out onto the trail quickly, safely off the bridge.
