The blizzard in which I was stuck has finally abated let up. My fingers are no longer turning blue and I may emerge from this cave (it smells like something had curled up and died a long time ago but I do not fancy figuring out what it was, in case it was in fact still alive and just extremely smelly).
From what I can see, the world is white. The sun is glittering off the mountainside like it is made of diamonds, and the great green forest still stands despite the incredible winds from last night. It is remarkably beautiful. Though it snows on Eidolon, I do not think I have ever seen it completely cover the world like it does here, just one endless rolling hill of powdery, slippery snow. I can also see what appears to be some ruins out to the northwest of my position.
Now, to get down this mountain with the least amount of effort…
Perhaps if I use this old shield I recovered, grease it up with a little wax from this candle and attempt to slide down?
