Chapter 5 Scene 7

Mike and Rogula wake up when the sun's rays strike the island at dawn. They eat some of their food for breakfast, and then make their way to the northern shore at the east end of the mountains.

"How do we get back to the Village from here?" asks Mike.

"We should go around the swamp, which means going into the ocean a ways."

"Then we should build a raft."

""That's a good idea, but it will be hard to get the materials here."

"Then we'll make a small raft."

Quest 60: Build a raft.

Mike and Rogula scout around, and find many small pieces of driftwood and a few larger pieces of wood. They tie them together with the ropes they saved from the cave.

Quest 60 complete!

They also use two boards as paddles, and set off. They go around the island clockwise, keeping their distance, about twenty meters out, from the Swampy Forest. Suddenly when they are close to the Village, Rogula sets her oar on the raft, grabs one of the bags, and jumps off.

Splash!

"What are you doing?" exclaims Mike, extending a paddle toward Rogula.

She doesn't answer until she swims back to the raft and climbs back with Mike's help.

"Getting this!" Rogula opens her bag and proudly displays a butterfly.

You found a Greeny!

Rogula goes on to explain, "We still have to take every chance we get to collect rarities."

Mike answers, "Okay, but you could have told me beforehand."

They continue on to the Village, and store the rarities and statue in their boxes.
