Not in the dark.

You debate briefly whether to go see if you can find the source of the sound or not. You desperately want to...but in the end your pragmatism wins out. If something were to happen to you there in the dark, you have no medical supplies. So sighing in disappointment (why couldn't you have heard the sound about an hour ago!?), you resume the process of bedding down for the night.

You gather up a number of loose branches and limbs and place them in a pile in a small clearing you have found. Using your laser, you are able to get them alight...and shortly you have a cozy little fire burning. Your warmth problem solved, you begin to settle in to get some sleep. Your stomach rumbles a bit, but there isn't much you can do about it now. Closing your eyes, sleep eventually finds you and you leave the tumultuous events of the previous day behind.

The night passes uneventfully and you wake early in the morning just as the sun begins to peek above the rim of the valley. It wasn't the best night of sleep you've ever had, and you feel a bit sore and stiff from a rock that apparently you hadn't noticed when you laid down. Trying to work out the kinks, you gather up your meager possessions and continue on your journey.
