You wander around, fruitlessly searching for somewhere, anywhere, that takes travelers cheques. You try rundown shack-like restaurants, comfy lounge-like spots, McDonald's, and even street vendors, all with no luck. Every place you go to smells absolutely wonderful and your hunger intensifies.

Finally, you decide the smartest thing to have done would have been to go to the school and get someone there to help you out until you can cash your cheques, so you turn to go back.

Unfortunately, you have wandered far and long and taken so many twists and turns that you have no idea how to get back. You search and search, but can't find your way and it is starting to get dark.

You find yourself walking by a river, along a narrow pathway. Clearly, this is not where you want to be, but at the far end is more of the city. You inch your way along, but it is slippery and the going is slow.

Suddenly, a bird launches from the trees, startling you and causing you to lose your footing. You flail a bit, then plunge into the water, hitting your head on a jagged rock.

You drown. The adventure is over.
