### **Lost in the Woods**

*Triggers at 170/ 350*

* All trees start to look the same after some time in the woods.
* [Continue]
* Maybe these trees are the same and you are walking in circles! You aren't sure.
* What do you do?

1. [Walk]
	* You walk for a while and can still not make up your mind if you are on track.
	* [^ Back]
2. [Sing]
	* You sing a beautiful ballad that talks about love.
	* [Lovely]
	* Some birds join in the singing and a couple of squirrels stop in the branches and look at you, baffled.
	* Other than that, the melodies have little effect. You should try something else.
	* [^ Back]
3. [Mark]
	* You mark the bark of some trees and then continue your hike.
	* [Continue]
	* Soon enough you encounter your markings again.
	* This is a problem. You have to find a way out of these woods.
	* [Continue]
	* You know that a northern course will lead you safely out of this green maze.
	* What do you investigate?
	1. [Bark]
		* Are you looking for anything special on the bark?
		1. [Mushrooms]
			* You find some mushrooms on a couple of trees, but you doubt they are edible.
			* Even if, you aren't looking for food but for a way out of these woods.
			* [^ Back]
		2. [Moss]
			* There is some moss on a couple of trees. Where does it point to?
			1. [North]
				* Moss isn't the most reliable at telling north, so it takes you a while before you finally find a path that breaks the vicious circle?
				* Survivors get -15.
			2. [South]
				* Not really.
				* [^ Back]
	2. [Stick]
		* You pick up a stick. You examine it. It is a standard issue wooden stick, nothing special. What do you do with it?
		1. [Swing]
			* You swing the stick like a sword and make swooshing sounds while still being careful not to hit anyone in the face.
			* The others are impressed by your prowess. Now you only need a real sword and you will be king of the island.
			* A fun little distraction, albeit very helpful.
			* [^ Back]
		2. [Ground]
			* You put the stick into the ground vertically. Now what?
			1. [Break]
				* The stick can't resist you and breaks in half. Great. You have defeated a stick.
				* [^ Back]
			2. [Shadow]
				* You mark the end of the shadow. And then?
				* [Wait]
				* Time passes and the stick's shadow moves along the forest floor.
				* [Mark]
				* You make another mark, you now have two. What do you do with them?
				1. [Add smile]
					* You draw a curved line for a smile, with the previous two markings being the eyes.
					* This is very pretty, but very unhelpful.
				2. [Connect]
					* You connect the two dots with a line. What does the line mark.
					1. [East-West]
						* That's correct. From this you determine where north is and follow that path.
						* [Continue]
						* The method was reliable enough so it doesn't take too long before you finally find a path that breaks the vicious circle
						* [<-Great]
						* *Needs to be completed, but you get out of the maze with no penalties.*
					2. [North-South]
						* Nope, that's not right.
						* [^ Back]
		3. [Scratch]
			* You use the stick to scracth your back. It feels good, but doesn't help you out.
			* [^Back]
	3. [Animals]
		* What animals?
		1. [Spiders]
			* There are a few spider webs in the vicinity. It looks like they are all located on the same side of tree trunks. Which one?
			1. [North]
				* Wrong.
				* [^ Back]
			2. [South]
				* You hope they point to the south and go the other way towards the north.
				* [Continue]
				* Spider webs aren't the most reliable at telling the way, so it takes a while before you finally find a path that breaks the vicious circle.
				* Survivors get -15.
				* [Oh well]
				* Just be happy you managed to find a way out at all.
				* [<- True]
		2. [Squirrels]
			* You sit down and devote an hour to squirrel watching.
			* [Fascinating]
			* At first it seems that these squirrels have a complex social structure and are surprisingly intelligent creatures.
			* But soon you realize they are just randomly climbing through branches in search of nuts.
			* [^ Back]
	4. [Wait]
		* You try to keep your calm and sit down.
		1. [Wait]
			* You wait. Upon checking the horizon you can tell that the sun is slowly setting.
			1. [Wait]
				* The sun has set and stars are beginning to show themselves.
				1. [Wait]
					* It is now the dead of night. The forest is full of eerie sounds, the sky is covered with constellations.
					* What's next?
					* [Stars]
					* You can recognize some constellation. Which one will help you out the most?
					1. [Leo]
						* This constellation doesn't show you the way.
						* [^ Back]
					2. [Virgo]
						* This constellation doesn't show you the way.
						* [^ Back]
					3. [Orion]
						* You find Orion and his belt. If a sword would be hanging from that belt, it would be pointing north.
						* The right path out of this maze has been found!
						* [Continue]
						* The method took a while but it is the most reliable. In the morning you easily find the right path.
						* [<- Great]
				2. [^ Back]
			2. [^ Back]
		2. [^ Back]
	5. [Take shortcut 20 ]
		* *Needs to be completed, but you get out of the maze with no penalties.*
