Level 1: Overgrown Caverns
Your path is completely blocked by what seems at first to be a smooth boulder. Upon further inspection, it is the shell of an enormous snail. What do you do?

 

I stood there, staring at the massive snail shell blocking my path deep inside the Overgrown Caverns. The shell was as tall as me, its intricate patterns glistening in the dim light filtering through the dense foliage above. I knew I had to find a way to get past it if I wanted to continue my adventure.

I cautiously approached the shell, my heart pounding in my chest. I could hear the faint sound of water dripping somewhere in the distance, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the cavern. I reached out a hoove and tentatively touched the smooth surface of the shell. It was cold to the touch, and I could feel the faint vibrations of the snail inside.

I took a deep breath and called out, "Hello? Is anyone in there?" There was no response, only the echoing sound of my own voice bouncing off the walls of the cavern. I knew I had to come up with a plan, and fast.

I looked around, searching for anything that could help me move the giant snail. That's when I spotted a pile of rocks nearby. I quickly gathered as many as I could carry and began to stack them in front of the shell. Grabing a sturdy looking log, which I then carefully wedge underneath the snail. This should work, I pressed my weight down and the log, with my amazement the snail shell began to shift slightly, inching closer to the edge of the path.

As I continued I could feel my muscles straining with the effort. Sweat dripped down my forehead, mixing with the dirt and grime that covered my face. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the snail shell began to move. Slowly but surely, it inched its way to the side, revealing a narrow opening that I could squeeze through.

I let out a sigh of relief and carefully made my way past the giant snail shell. As I emerged on the other side, I felt a sense of accomplishment wash over me. [Words-340]
