i have not been tagged on this, but i personally advise you go back to the fork and take the sharp turn.

exploring all available paths before making a more informed decision. this one may be the "smoothest" but that doesnt necessarily mean its the best.
<action; statement input; statement: hm. i was worried about them fa||ing on the steep path />
nothing necessarily implied it was steep, just that the turn is sharp, as in sudden.

a mere dripping? i suppose it could be indicative of a larger body, but given the location is a cave, i had assumed it to be a sign of stalactites.
