"Just now, I distinctly remember climbing," you say.  "And I ended up descending.  And now I'm back in Cave #14.  What's going on?!" 

"You are so close to your ultimate goal that the quantum-narrative flow of the time-space continuum is overriding your independent decision-making capability," Goofdaln's disembodied voice replies.  "Not that anyone asked my opinion." 

"Hmmm," you say.  "Maybe it's a 3-D turntable . . . . " 

You stumble in the dark toward Cave #11. 

You grope in the absence of light toward Cave #9. 

You climb the stairway to the roof. 

You march bravely toward Cave #8
