This place is likely fooling with our senses. We can go out and try again, marking our path the whole way, we can wait for tomorrow and I can prepare better spells for the circumstances, or we can explore the castle further.

If we do attampt the forest, does anyone have a way of marking the path. A simple way of making something brightly colored would be enough. I just no longer trust my ability to tell direction, and would like to be able to travel in a straight line.
