[The addition of darkness to the world made exploring the caves a more difficult endeavor, but it hasn't been enough to stop him. It's tricky at times, but after letting his eyes adjust he can at least roughly see where he's going.]
[Unfortunately, it's not enough for him to spot the uneven bit of damp cave floor before it sends him tumbling into the adjacent river where he is swept away by the fast moving water.]
[After a literally unknowable amount of time, he's more or less spat out by the mountain and onto the beach, where the flow slows enough that he can finally drag himself out of the water on hands and knees, coughing and dazed. As it turns out, getting water in your lungs still kinda sucks even if you don't need to breathe.]
[His hat is currently missing, though he'd look not unlike a drowned rat even if he wasn't thoroughly drenched.]
