First use here of Reflecting Bishop off two edges; ortho-Pawns. Unique is Camel-c1's opening it up for either Sissa or Elbow Rook, or both.

If Camel-c1 moves, either Sissa-f6 or Elbow Rook-b6 has path, or both.
If either Cardinal-f3 or -f4 moves, Cannon has pathway, illegal.
If Camel-g4 or Knight-h4 moves, Scorpion-h5 has a pathway.
If Rook-h3 or Pawn-g2 moves, Canon-j5 has pathway, illegal.
If Queen-h2 moves, Rose-f7 has pathway.
If Pawn-c4 moves, Reflecting B's pathway is d7-c8-b7-a6-b5-c4-d3-e2-f1.
If Rook-e3 moves, Rhino has path d5-d4-e3-e2-f1.
King cannot move because of Elbow Rook-b6 and Canon-j6.(12)
