You're free! What do you do now?

Wander through the forest

You've made it out! You do not stop running until the goblin village is far behind you. You take a moment to stop and catch your breath, leaning against a tree and looking up to the sky. It was just sunrise when you arrived at the village, and the sun still hasn't risen high in the sky. Though it's still early in the day, you did not get any rest last night, and now that the adrenaline from your escape is winding down, you feel exhausted.

Luckily for you, you can hear the unmistakable noise of a small stream nearby. It takes a bit of looking and wandering around the underbrush but you finally find it - a small stream feeding into a pond, just large enough to go for a dip to clean yourself up! You wade into the pool, the cold water initially sending a shiver up your spine as you get your feet wet. You kneel down, cupping some water in your hands and splash it over your head. The cold water not only begins cleaning you up but also refreshes you after your ordeal. You continue doing this for a while, making sure you cover your entire body to clean off any sweat or dirt that may remain. Finally, you bring your hands to your mouth and take a sip of the water. It is so tasty that you regret the fact that you have nothing to carry any with you after you leave the pond.

In fact, you don't have any supplies to help you get back to town. No compass or map, no food or water, not even any clothes to protect yourself from the elements. You realize if you want to make it back to human civilization you need to quickly find your way out of the forest. If only you could remember which direction you came from on your way into the village...

Which direction do you go?
