Climb down and follow the river

Not wanting to wait for the hounds to return, you climb down and try to get away as quickly as you can. They have outsmarted you however, as the sound might have came from the distance, but a few were waiting in the bushes as you climb down. Upon touching the ground with your feet, they jump out of their hiding spots and run towards you. You make a run for it, turning towards the cliff once again. At its edge you take a deep breath and look back at the hounds, still coming to tear you apart.

Lana (to her scared self): Oh my, oh my...! I am one with the **** and the **** is with me...! I am one with the **** and the **** is with me...! Here goes nothing!

Without other choice, you close your eyes and make a big **** jump forward and fall down screaming. The Vornskr don't follow suit, they stop at the edge of the cliff, look down at you from above and turn away. To your luck, the **** was with you and you fell into a deeper section of the river, saving your life for now. You went down several feet into the water, swim up and get to the shore.

Lana: Phjuh, that was rough! I better not imagine what I would look like had the river not been this deep! Let's devise a plan and...

You notice the locator no longer flashing it red light on your wrist. Probably the water damaged it, rendering it useless. Now you cannot be found by the Children of the Watch, should they be coming to pick you up.

Lana (knocking the locator): No, no no no no no! That cannot be happening! If it's not working I'm stuck here for good!

Meanwhile back in the camp of the Children of the Watch they noticed the shut down of the locator.

Mandalorian: Boss, the girl's locator stopped sending its signal.

Leader: She might have been eaten already. Didn't even last as long as I had expected her to. Though, she might still surprise us later.

Mandalorian: How could she?

Leader: We have all seen some of our kin return after their locators were damaged. But she will have to get back here on her own, I won't send out searching parties to find a possibly dead girl. Let's get back to work!

When you accept the fact, that the locator cannot be repaired, you take it off and toss it into the river in frustration. How are you going to get back home, you wonder. For now, you better drink some water at least to ease your thirst. While you do so, you get the idea of following the river's flow, it might lead somewhere, plus its easier to let yourself be carried by the mild current, than fight yourself through the dense vegetation on the ground. While floating on a piece of wood for some time, you have decided to settle in a cave. It should provide some cover and protect you from the elements. Keeping your eyes open on the wood, you spot a big cave entrance at not far from the shore. You let go of the wood and swim to the shore to see it for yourself. It seems empty, very deep and dark inside, but overall, a nice spot to spend the incoming days, weeks, months or whoever knows how much time. You collect some bigger leafs to make a makeshift bed for yourself, plus some smaller branches to make a fire to keep yourself warm. Piling up the branches, some **** lightning onto it and the fire is already set.

As your new home gets more and more comfortable, your stomach reminds you, it hasn't been provided anything in the last two days. With a blaster you could easily hunt down something to roast over the fire, but bare handed... Well, time to try that too! Without wandering too far away from your cave, you can't find anything worth trying to eat... There are only small rodent like creatures running around, with a huge amount of insects both on the ground and in the air. Lastly, trying to pick some fruit always seems a good idea. Until you find almost all of them in a rotten state on the trees, those that aren't rotten have such a disgusting smell or look you couldn't possibly **** them down on your throat. Neither of the options seem to be fine... {if Drain life = true}Remembering the life draining technique Ranvi taught you, you siphon the life essence from a few plants, even a tree or two, but none of their small life energies feed you enough to be full. You must find something more nutrient than just plants!{endif} Having wasted some hours try to find anything edible, you take a bath in the river to clean yourself.

It is relieving to take a shower after the long and tiresome days you have had so far, yet the end of your torments is still far away. As you look down on your chest while washing your boobs, you spot some fish swimming by your legs. A new idea strikes your mind. How about catching the fish and eating them? But how? Well, **** lightning! You run ashore, dry yourself to get rid of the water connection and send bolts of lightning into the water to kill the fish. It works surprisingly well, the dead fish swim up to the surface, there is but one problem... The river's flow takes them all downstream before you could jump in and catch them. Without a net, it will be quite hard to get a single one... You go out and try hunting one more time, but this attempt too was fruitless. Returning to the cave empty handed with an equally empty stomach, you lay down onto your makeshift bed, pull a huge leaf onto yourself and fall asleep.

Lana (to herself): This planet is crazy...! How are you going to survive here Lana? How could anybody survive here anyway?!

The upcoming days pass in similar manner, mostly you are after something edible, but besides some very bad looking and tasting fruits, you have nothing to show for. The last week was spent without sufficient food, you can feel your **** powers dwindling when you attempt to use one. You grow hungrier day by day, sensing you can't keep this lifestyle up for long... In the morning you hear something big approaching you from the deeper parts of the cave. You have never wandered down inside, only as far as the sunlight allowed you. It is roaring in the distance, every step it makes is clearly heavier than most beasts's you have seen here. It is coming closer and closer. Maybe the cave wasn't empty after all...? Jumping out of the bed, finding nothing to fight you possible opponent with, you panic, as you try to come up with a plan. It won't allow you to finish your line of thought though. A big Gundark appears in front of you from the darkness, roaring loudly as it spots you in his cave.

Lana (panicking): A Gundark...?! I was spending the last days next to a Gundark's nest?!

Gundarks are vicious predators, living in caves and forming nests, housing several Gundarks inside one. They have four arms and they are strong physically.

Your time to decide is now, try to fight it somehow or run? You have barely eaten in the last 7 days, you are about to reach your limit if you use the **** again! But if you flee into the jungle and try to hide somewhere other predators may pick you off more easily.
