You cannot exit the misty woods unscathed as the rabbits will tell you which way to go once you reach the pasture. After that, you're on your own pal! Keep your eyes on the sky and seek out formations in the land around you. Talk to the locals and find history there, in that place you find yourself. You may want to hang around a while and write something down... the long way. Once that fire starts buddy, putting it out can be a real problem.
