Stickman Adventure, Part 16: Signpost

Our hero puts out the torch, and heads for the signpost. But upon reaching it, the signs are written in a language he's never seen before and thus cannot understand. If he squints, on the horizon, the path to the left appears to lead to some immense concrete structure resembling a city. To the right is the faint gleaming of metal in the sun, and a plume of black smoke coming from it.

What would you have our hero do next?
