Climbing up onto the soft boulder, Whisper had some difficulty getting over it.  There were a few points where she thought she was going to sink in, to wind up stuck and have to end up cutting herself out, but she eventually managed to make over the obstruction and back onto solid ground.  Glad that that experience was behind her, she continued on down the cave.<br/><br/>When the tunnel suddenly turned left, her spirits lifted.  North, the direction she had been told the exit was in!  Even though the heat drastically increased, she didn't mind it too much, and kept making her way down the tunnel.  But the air became hotter and hotter, and her mouth became drier and drier, until she was eventually really regretting that she hadn't brought along some source of water.<br/><br/>As such, when she found a bamboo shoot filled with a clear liquid, she didn't question it.  Instead, she drank down the liquid without hesitation.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Whisper<br/><br/>Skill: 12<br/>Stamina: 23<br/>Luck: 12<br/><br/>Inventory: 2 Gold Pieces<br/>Sword<br/>10 Provisions<br/>Potion of Stamina
