Pay attention to this linear story about fees!

Lawyercats Ace Cattorney, Bob Lobpaw, and Clawl Goodman run up to you in a panic! After leaving the courtroom, they were chasing mice through the forest and have dropped their legal fees along the way. Ace lost 583 cat dollars, Bob lost 355 cat dollars, and Clawl lost 215! Help the lawyercats collect their fees! Start [[retracing their steps...|Forest 1]]

//Reliable cats wouldn't drop their fees,// you think to yourself, tracing their prints back through the forest. You spot three sums of money on the ground: 3 cat dollars, 52 cat dollars, and 6 cat dollars. [[Keep following the prints.|Forest 2]]

You continue carefully down the pawprint path, so the lawyercats follow. //Good thing their prints are still here! There's a bunch of pawprints by that tree over there.// This time there's only two lumps of fees on the ground: one with 125 cat dollars, and a pile of 57 cat dollars. [[Continue and the cats will follow...|Forest 3]]

//Everyone knows I'm the best fee collector; those individuals I've helped must have put in a good word for me.// The cats nod at your enthusiasm. There's three groups of coins again: one of 40 cat dollars, a single cat dollar, and one of 39 cat dollars. [[Onwards!|Forest 4]]

Excited about the adventure, the lawyercats start meowing and run ahead. "Wait for me!" you shout. Only two bundles on the ground this time: one with 2 cat dollars, and one with 43. [[Run ahead to catch up with the cats!|Forest 5]]

A distant cat tries catching mice but he paws the empty air. Finally, you've caught up; all three cats are loafing around. The piles of coins next to them contain 5, 34, and 29 cat dollars each. You gesture to the cats to continue; together, you [[follow the trail.|Forest 6]]

You're getting sleepy from all this running, so you reach for a little pick-me-up. The cats start raucously meowing as you continue. You feed yourself and the cats a little snack and all is peaceful for the time being. In front of you, there's piles of 108 cat dollars, 77 cat dollars, and 15 cat dollars. [[Let's go on.| Forest 7]]

It looks like you're getting closerer to the end of this forest's path. Looking around you realized a thing: forests are so pretty! This time, the three piles of money on the ground are worth 73, 81, and 38 cat dollars. [[Next!|Forest 8]]

Whooops the end is further than you thought. //Shh, save your negativity for later//, you think to yourself. One sad thing is for sure: these cats need their pay!! You count the three piles of cat dollars on the ground to contain 42, 37, and 87 cat dollars, respectively. [[Almost there!|Forest 9]]

You see the courthouse in the faraway distance. //Almost there! One last group of coins to count, and we'll be done.// A bundle of 48 cat dollars sits between a bundle of 26 cat dollars and a bundle of 85 cat dollars. [[Is that it?|Courthouse]]

You emerge from the forest at the courthouse. That was all of their money! Now it's time to allocate these sums properly. Remember: Ace is down 583 cat dollars, Bob lost 355 cat dollars, and Clawl is missing 215! Time to teach these cats a lesson: //why should lawyercats always make a note of their routes?// _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [[Back to the beginning!|Fee Line]]
