[Hobgoblin]

[Captain_Wizbang]

I'm a Ranger, I don't get lost in the woods.

[Edwinge]

I would wander the woods until found by a green hag who invites me to her home for dinner.

[The_Apocalypse]

Burn down the trees.

[avrear]

When would I get lost in the woods? I would just push M for the map and find my way out.

[Jerevth]

Shiradii, Audience with the queen.
After popping back, Slayers and explorer xp.

[AraannaElereth]

Well, since being a bard, I would find myself a falling tree, perhaps a nice tree stump and starting singing my ballads, maybe I would create a new ballad about my adventures 'Exploring the Wilds' because no one gets lost in the woods right? Especially an experienced adventurous bard! *sigh* I will keep singing until someone fetches me.

[mistress_minx]

Use my epic treasure hunter's spyglass to look for secret paths. When I find none, I type in /stuck and hope that works. When it doesn't, I sigh deeply, then use one of my carefully hoarded airship teleport beacons to go to my safe haven

Nice !!!

[askrj1]

Make it a DDO quest. After all, we've already been Lost in the Swamp and Lost at Sea.

[The_Human_Cypher]

Take a nap.

[guzzlr]

Figure out how to get my girlfriend there; she would not like me having an adventure without her.

[gnarledmaw]

You find yourself lost in the woods with no clear way out, what do you do?

Fill out a bug report because Im sure Im not reading the map wrong. Log out. Spend the next 15 hours trolling the forums and complain about a 200pp item I once lost.

Follow the S-T-O-P signs.

(S) Stay Calm: Panic is your worst enemy, so take a few deep breaths to calm down. The last thing you should do is hurry off in a haphazard direction, as this may add to your anxiety.
(T) Think: Were you traveling in a straight line or were there a lot of twists and turns? Did you pass any familiar spots or other people? Were you traveling north, south, east, or west? Try to answer these questions, as any bit of information can be useful.
(O) Observe: Can you determine which direction is north? How long will your food and water last? Can you see any obvious landmarks? Do you see any footprints, and if so, in which direction are they headed? Try to find any clue that might help to lead you back to your original footpath.
(P) Plan: Determine which direction you should walk – but do so with caution. Mark your progression with rocks, cairns, or piles of sticks. If you don’t find your way, you can always return to the point where you first realized you were lost.

[Dark_Helmet]

Pull up ddowiki and check the map.

[CaptainPurge]

Find the nearest bear and use his x to start a fire.

[gilstar9]

Head South.

[Entil]

Clear a path, with my Great Axe!

[Letu]

Ask the friendly neighborhood wildlife for directions out.

[Brekian]

I would sit down, pull out a deck of cards and start playing Solitaire. Somebody is sure to look over my shoulder and tell me what to do.
