You go down another flight of the stairs and you come out on the edge of a perfectly round tunnel, you step from a small landing through a small opening into the tunnel. The tunnel is cut through bedrock in a perfect circle that weaves back and forth as you follow it. Every now and then an identical tunnel cuts across the one that you are in.
As you follow the tunnel, at irregular intervals you see clumps on the floor of the tunnel, clumps of copper, iron, tin, zinc, silver, gold and other metals all mixed together. These clumps which are mostly iron and copper range from one to two feet across and are like half flattened spheres. You come across one every 200' to 300' apart.
On the walls of the tunnel you see here and there streaks of color that identifies a little ore here and there. Something is cutting the tunnel and concentrating out the ores that are present.
You have been following the tunnels for a while and have changed tunnels a few times. You suddenly realize that you have not marked your path, you are lost and not sure of your way back to the stairway.
What do you do?
