You think if you had something with which to chip at the stone, you could use the hatchet as a hammer. You're resourceful like that. Unfortunately, you still don't have the tool you'd need.
Check the quality of any pillows or sheets
You find some old cloth you could probably use for various things. It's very dusty, and as you rummage around the sheets, you find yourself in a cloud of dust. You are coughing up a lung for a few minutes before it clears up.
Check draws and wardrobes for clothing and other essentials
There is nothing of note to find.
Take the sheets and pillows
grab a couple of sheets
You bundle up some old sheets and put them in your bag.
Take any clothing or materiall you could use for clothing
You can't find any such items here.
Rip up some bed sheet and make a bandana or head band. Getting sweat and hair in your eyes all the time is annoying
You fashion a makeshift bandana out of a sheet and put it on.
attempt to scavenge some planks from the bunk beds[lumber may be useful later on]
You're in a forest, and don't quite understand why you'd need to scavenge wood.

You are wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt, sturdy shoes, and simple boar hide torso protection with pockets taken from the jacket. On your back is the backpack you found with you when you woke up. You have a piece of cloth wrapped around your head as a makeshift bandana. Your current weapon is a primitive spear and some javelins. You are not tired. You are slightly hungry. You are somewhat thirsty. You have (1) unspent skill point(s).

*roll* 5

Check our potions bag for ingredients.

Retroactively read the passages on the Amulet of Peace, it's location, and it's protections.
The Amulet of Peace is, surprisingly, not an amulet. It's a ring. What a strange world. It can be found in some religious location, and is protected by various traps and monsters. Wearing it makes the wearer incapable of intentionally harming others, but has a compulsion effect that prevents others from intentionally harming the wearer. That explains why you can't leave without it.
Check our current skill tree.

We desperately need water, surely. We must be nearly out by now. Considering the exhaustion of climbing so many stairs, it may be best to simply go into the dungeon tomorrow. Look around the outskirts of the castle for the ruins of a well. If not, try and find a river nearby.
You head outside and drink some water. You don't see any local place to refill it, but you know there is some water around, because nobody would build a castle without local access to water. Searching around, you find a well. Using it, you refill your water bottles. There is a skill tree next to the well.
search about for any blueberries or other berries, maybe even potion ingredients
Looking around, you find some strawberries. You pick a bunch.
eat a light snack if found berries
Eat,
You eat the strawberries you found, along with the rest of that meat.
set traps about and build a small fire
You use your rope and some various local features to set some traps - both for potential meat and for safety - before building a fire as per your usual methods.
[You have gained a skill point.]
have nightcap.
You have yourself some vodka, getting a mild buzz.
Sleep. Outside the castle, tonight. I don't want to risk something from that dungeon coming and killing us. Make a large fire to ward off predators.
You put some more wood on the fire, before curling up next to it and sleeping.
When we wake up, eat, double-check all our equipment, prep our flaming spear, make any useful potions that are easy to create, and enter the dungeon.
You wake up and start preparing for the day. First of all, you boil some water and use it with the MRE pack. (You now have 2 days worth of MREs.) You then eat the food and drink the tea. You idly wonder if it was produced in Britain, seeing as most non-British people wouldn't consider tea to be important for emergency supplies.
You take note of the skill tree next to you, and decide to put off entering the dungeon until you have spent your 2 remaining skill points.
What do you do?
