look around for sign of any entryways, perhaps obscured from sight

You do not see any kind of entrances in any part of the cave.

Go deeper if possible, otherwise memorize this place's location (as shelter) and leave

You commit the location to memory, making sure you’ll be able to find your way back here in the future. It shouldn’t be too difficult, considering there’s a large landmark to show you the way.

Take a good look around the local area at the bottom of the stairs too, just in case.

At the bottom of the stairs, there is a faint path leading up to the cave. The bottom of the ravine is dirt and small rocks. There are several clusters of mushrooms, presumably the only things capable of growing in the darkness.

check our pockets.

In your pockets, you have:

*An android phone (no reception, two days of battery presuming minimal use)

*A pair of earbuds

*A coin (one ounce, 99.9% silver)

*A lighter (about half full)

*A pack of cigarettes (18 left)

*Two condoms

*A wallet (containing a debit card, a driver’s license, twenty Euro, and several receipts dated between 14. March 2023 and 5. April 2023)

*A pack of tissues

*A keyring (three keys, bottle opener)

*A ballpoint pen (black)

*A small notebook (10x20cm, millimeter paper, 48 pages)

These being items you're used to carrying in your pockets, you reckon you wouldn't have noticed the weight of them, but rather the absence thereof.

Check for any paths other than the one we already know about. Unless we find a path and have a reason to choose it over the one we know about, start walking down that path.

You know there is a path leading from the bridge into the forest, as well as one from the bottom of the stairs to the cave. You can not see any other paths.

You climb back up the stairs and start following the path to the forest. It’s a rough path, and you have to climb at times, but you manage to follow the path reasonably well. You come to a spot where it looks like a lot of trees have been knocked over. The cleared area is vaguely circular, with a path of knocked down trees leading away to the left of the path. Scattered around the clearing are tufts of transparent blue fur.

The sun has reached its zenith. It has been at your back for most of your trip, though it was to your right for parts of it. You are thirsty. You are slightly hungry. You are slightly tired.
