You walk over to the pile of leaves and twigs. It looks like at some point in the future this could be the nest of some rather large birds.
Says Mel: “The nest is yet to come!”
You think you see something buried under the pile so you kneel down on them to get a better look. Indeed, there is something hidden beneath the leaves: a hole. You fall in, and land with a thud quite a ways below. A moment later, you hear a scream and another thud as Mel lands beside you.
Says Mel: “I didn’t really like you before, but now I’m falling for you.”
Says Jim: “Are you ok?”
Says Mel: “I just fell about 50 feet into the ground. I’m feeling a little low.”
There is a single torch lighting the room, and there are only two things visible: a trail leading to your left, and a smelly sock coming at you from the right.
Says Mel: “This stinks. I’m serious – it really socks.”
