As unfortunate as getting lost in the woods is, you really can’t do anything about it, so you decide to have a look around to see if there is anything resembling a path. Somewhere in the distance, you can hear the gurgling of a small waterfall, so you head in that direction.
After a bit of exploration, you come upon the place where the sound is originating. It is a small waterfall being fed by a small stream. You look into the water, and are horrified to see a three foot tall squirrel taking a bath beneath the falls.
“Hello there mister squirrel,” you say.
“Hi,” says the squirrel, obviously more interested in bathing than having a conversation.
“You sure are big mister squirrel,” you say. “How’d you get to be that way?”
“This is how they made me,” says the squirrel.
“This is how who made you?” you ask.
“Them...” says the squirrel.
“Who is them?” you ask.
“You know,” says the squirrel. “THEM...”
“Oh, I see,” you say, even though you don’t see. You have a feeling that mister squirrel is trying to hide something from you, but decide it’s really of no concern. What you are concerned about is finding a path to lead you in more predictable directions.
“Mister squirrel,” you say. “Are there any paths around here that I can follow?”
“There’s one over there,” says mister squirrel.
“Where?” you ask.
“THERE...” says mister squirrel, obviously becoming a bit annoyed. You look in the direction that the squirrel is indicating, but can make out no path. You stare a little harder. As you’re staring, a path appears to open up out of the thick vegetation of the wood. You head in that direction.
The path seems to slowly ascend an incline before levelling out at the top of a sort of hill. From there, the path is straight forward for as long as you can see. You begin travelling down this path. In the distance, you can start to make out an incredibly steep incline. You follow the path until it leads you to the base of this incline.
At the base of the incline there is a staircase made out of large wooden blocks. The stairs look stable enough to you, so you begin to climb.
