Chapter 3 Scene 6

Tom and Mike make their way along the passageway they discovered in the northeast corner of the cave. Soon they come to a fork.

"We'll drop a banana here, pointing the way to the blocked entrance," indicates Mike.

"Good idea," answers Tom. A few moments later Tom steps on something. He finds that it is a piece of paper with some writing on it.

"What is that, Tom?" asks Mike.

"Some paper, can you tell what this writing is?"

Mike looks at it. "It could be part of a map. Probably a small part."

"A map of the island?"

"Maybe, or perhaps a map of the caves. We need to find several more pieces to be sure.  We will find them faster if we notify the others."

"Right, let's let them know."

Quest 51: Find all the pieces of the map.

They go back, see the banana, and are about to turn right, toward the cave entrance, when Mike sees something move along the cave floor. He adroitly catches a lizard.

"You found an Orange-o!"

They then go back to the entrance.

"We think we found part of a map," announces Mike. "It may be of these caves, but we need to find more pieces. There appear to be many passageways.  Are you ready to explore them?"

"I would like to," replies Nicole.

"I'm okay now," says John. "But someone should stay by the entrance in case the natives find a way to break through."

"I think Stefi and I can remain here," says Amy.

"Aww, Mom," is Stefi's answer.

"There may be more spiders and bats deeper in the cave."

Tom has an idea to cheer up Stefi. "Stefi, you have an important role. If we get lost, you may need to call out so we can find our way back here."

Stefi perks up a little. "Okay, Mr. Tom."

Tom. Mike, Nicole, and John go to the northeast passageway. At the fork, Mike goes left, and Mike is about to join him when Nicole says, "Please, let me come with Tom."

It takes a second for Mike to understand, and then he agrees. "Fine, John and I can take the fork to the right. Be careful, everybody."
