After about three hours the rain lets up into a light drizzle.

The change is enough to startle him from the doze he fell into. He's relieved he wasn't eaten, but still feels pretty gross and ugh why did it have to be rain.

What's the fuzzy thing doing? What's around? Can he see anything he didn't before? ...what time of day is it.

Well, he doesn't know which way east is, but the sun is low. The fuzzy thing is still in the cave with him. It looks asleep.

Well... okay, he supposes. Maybe he could look for somewhere else to set up a tent instead of where he is. And. Stay inside it. For the night. And then sleep. In the damp clothes.

There's a lot of plants in the jungle, but the ones between the trees are mostly low and easily trampled, probably for megafauna reasons. He can go any which way he pleases, except there's no obvious way back up the cliff.

He'll see if he can climb it later. When it's not raining. He starts setting up the tent he bought (which is thankfully waterproof, good thinking past Sadde).

A deerthing comes by to nose at him while he does that.

Hi deerthing please don't eat him he's pretty sure you're herbivorous but still.

It doesn't eat him. Just nose nose nose and leave.

Okay. Friendly deerthings. Sadde might have to eat you later, he hopes you're not sapient but you don't look sapient.

Back to setting up. Then into the tent.

A deerthing knocks the tent over a few hours later.

Oh come on did it have to? All he wants is to sleep this night and not have to think about things until the following morning. When it won't be raining kay thanks.

Maybe he could not be in the jungle and actually be somewhere that's not the jungle? Is there an obvious direction where that is? ...is it dark yet, for that matter, he doesn't know how long the day lasts there.

It's dark now, which makes it hard to tell if the jungle goes on forever or not. The deerthing investigates the capsized tent and moves on.

Ugh

Okay surely the deerthings will go to sleep sometime, he'll set up his tent again and try to resume sleep (and eat some ration bars) (not in that order).

This time he wakes up before a deerthing knocks his tent over.

Okay. Good morning. Is it still drizzling.

It is misty and the giant leaves of the giant trees occasionally tip water out of them but it's not actually raining now!

Okay. Can he make a bonfire and warm himself and put his clothes to dry and change to not-wet-only-merely-damp ones without being attacked?

If he can get wet wood to catch, yes.

ugh

He can't direct magery at the woods to do that, if he could that'd be great, but if he tries he'll probably cause wildfire. He'll eat some more cereal bars, unset his tent, and try to find a less horribly damp place.

It's pretty jungley in this jungle. Very wet.

he will keep walking

If he goes up this hill far enough the trees get smaller and the air gets thinner.

He is already in hell, might as well go kiss the devil. Up he goes.

The clouds are clearing up.

The view is spectacular.
