Impossible Choice

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 4054

While mourning the fact that he has murdered poor Belboz in cold blood, Fred encounters a massive stalagmite in the middle of his path. The path continues in a spiral up the stalagmite and there is a deep pit next to the path at this point.

For some inexplicable reason, Fred decides to go down the stalagmite.

BUMP!

Fred gets a massive bruise on his forehead from running smack into the base of the stalagmite.

Fortunately for Fred, the bump knocked some sense into him and forced him to recall some basic high school geology. Of course, says Fred has he slaps his hand against his stupid forehead, stalagmites are rooted in the floor of caves and only go upward. If I wanted to go down, there would have to be a hole in the cave floor opening up to another cavern, and through that hole there would have to be another spiral path traveling down a stalactite.

DUH!

Fred looks around for such a hole with access to another cavern and a spiral path going down a stalactite.

  1. Eureka! Fred finds one and goes down the Stalactite.
  2. Fred does not find one. Instead he goes up the spiral path of the stalagmite, still pondering.
  3. Lord Fred realizes he has gone nuts and throws himself into the pit between the path and the stalagmite.
