Chapter 2 Scene 13

Point of view of Amy:
Upon hearing Nicole's suggestion to find fruit, Amy roams about the Northwestern Forest. Soon she finds five blueberries.

Quest 36 complete!

On her way back she trips over a shell.

You found a Purple Piper!

Amy puts the shell in her bag and goes back to the Abandoned Village. She soon learns that her daughter Stefi is missing in the caves. She takes a torch from Tom and everyone goes in.

"Stefi! Where are you!" calls out Amy.

A bat flies at Amy's face.

"Here, take this protective potion," offers John. Amy and all the others take a potion and drink it. The bats don't come near any of the castaways after that.

Stefi hears the calls and yells out, "Over here!"

Amy gets there first and tries to pull Stefi off the spider web, but the web is too strong.

"Careful, Mom, don't get stuck too," warns Stefi.

"I'll get the machete," says Tom. He darts back through the cave passages, gets the machete from the toolbox, and re-enters the cave. He carefully cuts the spider web away from Stefi.

Quest 39 complete!

Unseen by the castaways, a red-headed man has been laying dynamite on the ground above the cave entrance. It is Corc, the survivor among the crew from Island Castaway 2. He moves as if he is in a trance, under orders from Agnelo. Corc sets up the fuses, and then pushes the plunger when all the castaways are in the cave. There is a deafening roar as massive boulders tumble down, sealing the cave entrance. Scotty the Monkey screams and runs away toward the mountains to the north.

The castaways are in shock.

"What just happened?" asks Amy.

"That sounded like dynamite," answers John. "But I can't believe that these natives would do this to us, even if they have dynamite which I doubt."

Tom acts like he has a vision. "It wasn't the natives - it was that man, or ghost, or whatever we saw just before our ship wrecked."

"I'm sure you're right," agrees Nicole. "But what do we do now?"

Mike has been inspecting the rockfall. "These boulders weigh tons. We can't move them. We'll have to find another exit. Good thing we have food and light."

Quest 47: Rescue the castaways from the cave.
