Fortunately it is snowing in the Sierra Nevadas and so any remaining hunters get bogged down in a snow-drift.

Unfortunately you weren't prepared for that snow and now you're shivering in a cave.

Fortunately it is warmer as you go further in the cave, and you always carry a torch with you as you wonder at the stalactites & stalagmites.

Unfortunately, your torch blows out with a sudden gust of wind and not seeing the path before you, you plummet into a giant pit.

Fortunately, you land on something big and soft and aren't injured from the fall.

Unfortunately, it is a very angry bear.

Fortunately, it was hibernating and so you can scramble into a crawl space and listen to it growl about people not looking where they were going.

Unfortunately, the bear sinks back into a deep slumber and the radiated warmth of its body lulls you into a much needed sleep as well, before you can escape.

Fortunately, this bear has been tagged by scientists studying it while it hibernates, and your arrival set off a few alarms. They get you safely out of the cave.

Unfortunately, these scientists aren't exactly friendly and don't like the fact that you were interfering with their experiment. They decide to detain you for questioning.

Fortunately, another huge snowstorm blows in and distracts the scientists before they can begin interrogating you.

Unfortunately, you decided to escape in the snowstorm, and now you're hopelessly lost.

Fortunately, you weren't going anywhere in particular anyway so wherever you end up will be better than where you started..

Fortunately the snowstorms stop as it is supposed to be high summer in the Northern Hemisphere, even around the Sierra Nevadas, so you are able to cautiously make your way out of the mountains.

Unfortunately, they are waiting for you when you come out.
