A lack of lift with a constant weight and drag leads to rapid descent. Look for a clear landing area, jettison balast to gain time and distance and hope for the best. Ballooning is not negotiable, What Goes Up, Must Come Down.

What happens to volume and mass in a hot air balloon?

When the air is heated inside the balloon, it expands, causing it to be lighter than the surrounding (and presumably) cooler air. One imagines however, that as the air inside the balloon is heated, some air is forced out (due to expansion), thus resulting in a decrease in the entire apparatus' overall mass (not to mention a decrease in mass due to any fuel's having been used to heat the air in the balloon).
