Question Gliding in the dark

What do you do if your aircraft became a glider at night without moon or town lights over the forrest or mountainous area? Apart from cross your fingers and pray. Has anyone had real engine failure at night on sigle engine aircraft?
Only thing I can think is to go through all troubleshooting checks and approach into wind to get the slowest possible ground speed and pray.
