You retreat from the edge of the gorge and set up a camp for the night in a mossy hollow surrounded by five tall pines. The spongy moss provides a comfortable bed and you are soon asleep, but within the hour you are awoken by a rolling boom of thunder. A storm has swept in from the west and it is now raining heavily, yet the canopy of pine branches above has kept you from getting wet. Unfortunately, the tall pines also act as efficient lightning conductors. You are struggling to your feet when suddenly a bolt of forked lightning strikes the top of the trees. There is a blinding explosion of blue-white light and you are hurled into the air by the force of the electrical blast as it streaks to earth.
