You see the hide of a sea serpent go by gently and snap up a few elks. Phew, good thing you didn't slide down.. Despite the dangerous sight, you desperately need a drink, and water to be by the lake. So you steadily climb down, hill by hill, until your down by the river.
You sigh in relief and fall to your knees, eagerly drinking from the river's waters. Fortunately, it's fresh water, and tastes amazing to you. You sigh in relief, looking around as you think about what to do next.
