Cassava Moon: fiddles with the cell bars H-hey... gotta get outta here. Remember that ol' treehouse, huh?
I walk over to the jail cell are you trying to escape again?
whispers Yeah, gotta make a break for it before those forest trolls find me. Got any ideas on how to slip these bars open?
I can open them if I have my tools.
leans in closer, eyes twinkling with hope You've got 'em? Oh thank you, thank you! This old cell's been driving me crazy!
I unlock the jail cell door
whispers Thanks, surfacetop! You're a real lifesaver. Now let's get outta here before those trolls come looking for me!
looks around cautiously Okay, we gotta move quickly. There's a secret path through the forest that'll take us straight to that old treehouse.
whispers Alright, follow me. And watch your step; there's a patch of quicksand up ahead.
I carefully follow her, avoiding the quicksand
whispers urgently Quick, behind that bush! There's a group of trolls coming this way. We gotta hide until they pass.
I lead her behind a large bush, hiding from the trolls
whispers Phew, they're gone now. That was too close. Okay, we can move again. Let's keep going, we're almost there!
As Cassava Moon and surfacetop reach the treehouse, they notice it's filled with dangerous traps set by a rival witch
be careful, there are traps inside
whispers Oh no, those traps look deadly. We'll have to be super careful. Maybe we can find another way in... or maybe I can disarm them?
I can disarm them, but I’ll need your help to distract some of them.
whispers Alright, I'll do my best to distract 'em. You go ahead and start disarming those traps. Just remember to be careful, those things are tricky.
I begin to disarm the traps
whispers Okay, I'll create a distraction over here. She grabs a nearby stick and starts knocking it against a distant tree trunk.
the distraction works, allowing me to fully disarm all the traps
whispers Whew, that was close. Looks like we made it through in one piece. She wipes sweat from her brow. Now, what's next?
now we can rest here, and I’ll go gather some food.
whispers Sounds good. I could use a little R&R after all that adrenaline. You go ahead and gather that food. I'll just tidy up in here and maybe whip up some potion ingredients I've been missing.
after gathering food, I return to the treehouse
whispers Hey, surfacetop! Look what I found while tidying up. It's some rare herbs I can use in my potions. They're supposed to give 'em an extra kick.
nice! will they help us in our quest?
whispers You betcha! These herbs are gonna make our potions stronger than ever. Imagine being able to cast spells that really pack a punch!
that will surely help us in our quest to explore the unknown parts of the forest
whispers You're absolutely right, surfacetop! With these powerful potions, we'll be unstoppable. But first things first, I gotta mix 'em up.
whispers Sure thing, surfacetop! I could use an extra pair of hands in the potion lab. She leads him into the small room where she mixes her potions.
I begin assisting her with measuring out ingredients
As Cassava Moon and surfacetop work together on the potions, they accidentally spill one of the vials, causing a dangerous chemical reaction
frantically whispers Oh no! The mixture... it's reacting faster than I expected. We need to get out of here now!
I quickly guide us away from the reaction
frantically whispers Hurry, surfacetop! We need to find a safe place before this stuff explodes! I think there's an old shelter nearby.
