We all voted now I think. We’re back.
Welcome to Stage J of 極寒の雪山 Escape
We back away slowly, watching the puma. Eventually, she relaxes and with a twitch of her ears, swiftly jumps off the boulder and runs away. Watching her disappear, you notice that the encounter made you sweat and now you’re feeling cold and tense. We decide to walk around, maybe that helps us warm up. But to no avail. Finally we stop and build a nice fire. However, no sooner do we relax and warm up do we feel the earth shudder. Small rocks roll down the hill. Uh oh, we better get moving and move to save ground where we’re out of the way of a potential avalanche! See you at

Not going to be the last to decide again!
decision
I think we should look for a stream. If the chinchilla is living here, shouldn’t there be water sources nearby? Also, I don’t want to go higher up to find snow to melt, since we’re trying to escape the mountain, not climb it. If we find a stream we can follow it down to the base of the mountain maybe!
I don’t want to forget again either! Hmmm… I agree with @soggyboy.
decision
I would rather go further down the mountain (remember how we got altitude sickness a while ago? Don’t want that again! So let’s find a stream to get water!
decision
I also agree that we should go down the mountain instead of climbing again, down is where civilization could be and water tends to flow downhill, so as long as we don’t trip and fall down is a better direction for us.
Also what a cute chinchilla! For once it’s a wild animal that won’t kill us on sight.
decision
I liked the chinchilla info page
I was actually thinking the opposite… I’m worried following the water might lead us to these hidden glacier rivers that run under the snow pack. So there’s a danger we break through where it’s thin and fall in!
Welcome to Stage K of 極寒の雪山 Escape
Eek, the earth trembled for a while and we narrowly missed getting hit by falling rocks. This is a dangerous place. We need a new plan and just as we’re thinking of going up or down the slope, out of the corner of your eye - チンチラだ! Well, if that little guy can survive here so can we. You pull out your flask to get a drink but it’s empty. Looks like we better look for a stream to get water. See you at

ahh I’m finally on time!
decision
Why would we climb a snow-covered peak? I love me an adventure, but we don’t know the depth and the type of the snow, and if we just had a mini rock fall, we could have an avalanche at any time. I think it’s better to stay at the base (if we’re actually in the base right now lol).
