You awaken in a smoldering crater, the aftermath of your own catastrophic descent. The air is thick with the scent of scorched earth and the acrid tang of burnt metal.

Vision bleeds into clarity. The crater walls loom; jagged teeth slick with ash. To your left, a slope <i>almost</i> navigable: dirt scarred by your crash, roots exposed like broken ribs. Beyond it, the forest waits. Not trees; <i>sentinel pines</i>, their trunks blackened by firelight, branches tangled into a cage. The air thrums. Insects shriek. Somewhere, water hisses. A taunt.

The scavenger lies motionless on the dusty ground of the crater. [[Return|CraterCamp]]

You were unable to dodge the last stone thrown by the scavenger, and the world turns bright white before going dark. [[Return|CraterCamp]]

You figure that the scavengers stubby legs are no match for yours and you sprint away, leaving the scavenger jogging after you meekly throwing stones until their interest fail. [[Return|CraterCamp]]

The large scavenger collapses with a guttural groan, its club rolling from lifeless fingers. The remaining scavengers freeze for a moment, then scatter into the rocky crevices of the crater, their whooping cries echoing off the walls. [[Return|CraterCamp]]

The club catches you square in the chest, knocking the wind from your lungs. As you stumble backward, the smaller scavengers close in. The last thing you see is the large one's yellowed teeth bared in a triumphant snarl. [[Return|CraterCamp]]

You spot a gap between the scavengers and bolt for it. The large one bellows and gives chase, but its bulk slows it down on the uneven crater floor. You scramble up a rocky slope and duck behind a boulder, holding your breath until their frustrated snarls fade into the distance. [[Return|CraterCamp]]

<<first>> A narrow fissure in the crater wall opens into a modest cave, dry and sheltered from the wind. The floor is covered in soft sand, and the walls show signs of previous habitation - ancient charcoal marks and scattered bones. <<explored "Cave Shelter" "media/icons/cave-entrance.svg">> <<finally>> The cave remains a reliable shelter from the harsh weather outside. <</first>> <<nobr>> <<set setup.restMultiplier to 2>> <<set setup.restLocationTag to "cratercave">> <<set setup.restingWeights to { combat: 0.2, theft: 0.2, neutral: 0.30, post: 0.30 }>> <<set setup.restInterruptChance to 0.02>> <<set setup.restReturnPassage to "CraterCave">> <<customButton "Rest" "" "Sleep" "move-btn" "media/icons/night-sleep.svg">><</customButton>> <</nobr>> [[Return|CraterCamp]]

<<first>> Following a vein of exposed rock, you discover a shallow quarry where the crater walls have crumbled to reveal layers of workable stone. Sharp flakes and fragments litter the ground, suggesting this site has been used before. <<explored "Stone Mine" "media/icons/mining.svg">> <<finally>> The quarry offers abundant raw stone for gathering. <</first>> [[Return|CraterCamp]]

<<first>> You scramble up the crater's rim and find yourself looking out over a vast riverine forest. Towering trees with silver bark line the banks of a wide, slow-moving river. The air is humid and thick with the calls of unfamiliar creatures. A narrow trail leads down from the rim toward the treeline. <<explored "Forest Edge" "media/icons/forest.svg">> <<finally>> The path to the forest remains clear, winding down from the crater rim to the river below. <</first>> [[Return|CraterCamp]]

You wake to the sound of skittering pebbles. A small scavenger is rummaging through your belongings! Before you can react, it grabs something and bolts into the darkness. <<script>> //var foodItems = $inventory.filter(item => item.id === 'mushroom' || item.id === 'raw_meat'); //if (foodItems.length > 0) { // var stolen = foodItems.random(); // deleteItemFromInventory(stolen.instanceId); // State.variables.theftResult = "It made off with your " + stolen.name + "."; //} else { State.variables.theftResult = "It found nothing worth taking and fled empty-handed."; //} <</script>> <<print $theftResult>> [[Continue|CraterCamp]]

A rustling near your camp stirs you from half-sleep. You catch a glimpse of glowing eyes in the darkness before whatever it was slips away. You notice your supplies have been disturbed. <<script>> if (Math.random() < 0.3) { State.variables.theftResult = "A waterskin has been chewed through and emptied."; } else { State.variables.theftResult = "Fortunately, nothing seems to be missing."; } <</script>> <<print $theftResult>> [[Continue|CraterCamp]]

Strange patterns dance behind your eyelids - geometric shapes and symbols that seem almost familiar, yet slip away when you try to focus on them. You wake with a lingering sense of something important forgotten. [[Go back to sleep|SleepContinue]] [[Get up|CraterCamp]]

The crater is alive with sound at night. Distant howls echo off the walls, accompanied by the clicking of insectoids and the occasional crash of shifting rocks. You drift in and out of sleep, kept alert by the alien symphony. [[Try to sleep through it|SleepContinue]] [[Get up|CraterCamp]]

A brilliant streak of light splits the night sky, illuminating the crater in flashes of blue-white. The meteor burns up in the atmosphere, leaving a faint trail that fades slowly. You mark the spot where it seemed to land - somewhere beyond the crater rim. [[Go back to sleep|SleepContinue]] [[Get up|CraterCamp]]

You wake to find a thin layer of frost has formed on your bedding. The crater floor is painted in shades of silver and grey, and your breath mists in the chill air. The sun has not yet cleared the crater's edge. <<script>> addBuff(17); <</script>> [[Get up|CraterCamp]]

During the night, a dust storm swept through the crater. Everything is coated in a fine layer of silicate powder. You cough and wipe the grit from your eyes as you emerge from your shelter. <<script>> Cycle.get('thirst').update(10); <</script>> [[Clean yourself off|CraterCamp]]

You wake to the gentle warmth of dawn sunlight spilling over the crater rim. The silence is broken only by the distant chirping of creatures in the forest beyond. For a moment, this alien world feels almost like home. [[Start the day|CraterCamp]]

Scratches at the cave entrance rouse you from sleep. Something small and opportunistic was investigating your camp, but the cave's narrow opening kept it at bay. You find fresh claw marks in the stone just outside. [[Continue|CraterCave]]

The wind shifts outside, causing the cave to resonate with low, thrumming tones. The sound seems to emanate from deep within the rock itself - a natural phenomenon, yet oddly melodic. [[Go back to sleep|SleepContinue]] [[Get up|CraterCave]]

The cave provided excellent shelter through the night. You emerge well-rested, the harsh crater weather having passed you by completely. <<script>> Cycle.get('sleep').reset(); <</script>> [[Leave the cave|CraterCamp]]

Muscles tear like rotten fabric. The forest watches - a thousand leafy eyes judging your stumbling betrayal of its mossy grave. The earth tilts. Roots snake around your ankles, whispering <i>stay, decay, become soil</i>. You wrench free. Blood blooms fresh on your calf where the bird feasted. The path ahead: a cathedral of destruction. Fallen giants lie splayed like broken ribs, their splintered bones jutting skyward. You crawl through their graveyard: Bark scrapes raw palms. Rot stings nostrils with the sweet stench of dying worlds. Shadows pool like blood beneath shattered trunks. Your fingers sink into pulpy wood. Beetles swarm from the wound, black carapaces gleaming like spilled oil. At the crest, the crater gapes below - your past and future screaming from its depths. There. At the epicenter of ruin: The pod's carcass. Twisted metal breathing smoke. Your origin story written in scorch marks. <i>Promises rusting in alien rain.</i> <<linkreplace "Lean over the edge">> <<fadein 2s>> Acrid smoke drills into your sinuses - the sacred incense of shattered technology.

Your blow lands with sickening finality - the crunch of bone beneath desperate strength. The creature staggers, a wet rattle bubbling in its throat. For one suspended moment, its obsidian eyes hold yours... then it collapses face-first into the dust. Engine oil spills out of the creatures mouth, blooming around its skull like a black halo.
