Sam's picked up a piece of charcoal, starting to mark some areas that were blocked by the canyon wall and a small cave he'd seen but hadn't explored yet. It was disappointing that they couldn't even find a way out of this small village. It made the idea that they were being brought here for a nefarious reason all the more likely. As far as he knew the river didn't even lead anywhere -- just underground at one end and then started from a waterfall that was proving to be difficult. The river had seemed the most obvious form of escape and even it was against them.
He paused in his drawing as an idea occured to him. "You know, I'm not sure what plants would work...but we could probably add some color to these maps if we were to mash up some of the inedible berries out there. It'll help with marking areas of importance or even where known edible plants and some of the animals tend to be...or where people tend to hunt." He knew that discovery had been helpful, though like him he had a feeling not everyone was great at being able to TELL what was edible from what was likely to kill them.
He shakes his head. "But, yeah, getting a system started of keeping track of where people are at would be good. If something were to happen...well, let's just say I'd hate to be stuck out in those woods without knowing someone could come rescue my ass."
He hadn't thought of it until now, but it'd be very easy to get injured out there and get stuck. Until now he'd mostly been considering the various ways they could end up poisoned with their food supply. Or inner fighting and injuring each other. He hadn't really considered just pure accidents.
"Probably shouldn't mark that on a map though...we could tear up more curtains and start a log book of some kind. You could also set up the map as a grid so we could use short hand."
