Small Lake "Sure, sounds fangtastic!" Sybella exclaimed. "What do you have for snacks?"

"Granola bars, water... and I had some apples but who knows how long they've been in here. They're kinda squishy now," Flim said.
"I'll take a granola bar!" Scrappy said.

marcie pulled out some of the explosive gel Flim Flam had given to her and threw it against a karge stalactite hanging overhead. ' everyone, get back' she called out as the glass shattered and the compound hit on the rock and began dissolving it within a few seconds loud cracking began to be heard as cracks appeared near the top of the formation.' We'll use it as a bridge when it falls ' Dixie hurried away from the edge as the sounds of cracking became louder and louder.

"Well what do you know..." Dusk said, turning around to see the huge stalactite cracking under its own weight.

"Mmm I just love rotten apples! I'll take one, Flim Flam." Sybella inquired.

Rock Island"Sure thing, Daph!" Fred said as he headed back to the other side again. "Start sorting through those planks and boards! We'll need them to build the bridge!" he called out as he rowed.
Small Island
"I'm glad somebody likes them..." Flim-Flam said as he went to pick one up, but it deflated like a balloon. "You'd better take this one instead," he said, handing her another. "Great work on the bridge. I think the others will like it, too. After all the times Scrappy fell... it's even Scrappy-proof!" Flim-Flam chuckled.
"Oh, that was nothing... falling dozens of feet into a deep dark lake doesn't scare me! I take it as it comes..." Scrappy said, standing up tall.

Rock Island "Alright Fred! No problem!" Daphne said, as she started going through the boards. "Luna, would you mind giving me a hand?"

"Of course!" Luna replied as she started sorting the planks. "Ones that just crumble when you pick them up get tossed over here," Luna pointed. "Then the shorter ones over here..."

Fred rowed back to the rock island and climbed up. "How's it going gang?"
"You know, I'm not sure there's enough usable boards to build a whole bridge," Luna said, disappointed.
"Well, we could build a large minecart that ran on these ropes we've tied," Fred said hopefully. "I have some trap pulleys that could act as wheels. We'd all get inside and push off toward the caves! What do you say, gang?"

The Chasm
Dusk watched as the huge stalactite cracked at the top as dust and sediment fell. She stopped tapping on the walls and dropped her drumsticks to cover her ears as the stalactite broke free from the ceiling and slammed into the ground below, forming a bridge across the chasm. "Dixie? Marcie? Tanis? Is everyone okay?" she called as she ran up closer, looking for anyone who might have been hurt. She watched the ceiling to make sure nothing else was about to fall.

Small Island (Leaving)
Scrappy and Sybella helped Flim-Flam pack his stuff back into his suitcase. "Well, you guys ready to keep exploring?" Flim-Flam asked.
"You bet!" Scrappy replied as he switched on a flashlight and lead the way. The trio walked for a while until they hit a split in the cave (N3/N8). "Gee, I wonder which way we should go?"
"Hey Sybella, don't you have bat sonar when you change into a bat? Can you use sound waves to figure out which way leads deeper into the caves?" Flim-Flam asked.

We'e fine ' Dixie said. " lets get going, before the thing falls into the crevasse." Dixie slowlky walke across the bridge, followed by Claudia, Nora, Eliza, Creola amd marcie. ' a pair of paths stretched out in front of them, none o to the north, the other to the south. " we go south ' cReola said ' it leads downward, and the cache is at the lowest level of the caves." - Cruny led missy's group across the lake, using the panks set down earluier by the breakaway group od Sybella, Flim Flam and scrappy. ' The group had a much easier time crossoing the small lake than the group ahead of them. - So we keep heading north, right?' Tanner asked ffred as they kept walkibng . the patrh was narrowuing, it would soon reaxch the point where only one person at a time could pass.

"Sounds like a plan Fred. I'm sure it'll work but we'll have to be really careful." Daphne said.
"Hey Fred! Any idea how we'll get off this island?" Thorn called from where she had landed.

"You bat I can, Scrappy!" Sybella transformed into a bat, albeit in a very theatrical way for affect. Using her bat sonar, she was able to detect the direction that would lead them deeper into the cave. "Seems like going northeast, so the same direction we have been, will lead us deeper into the caves."
-
"I think I'm okay. It just crushed a loose piece of my wrapping is all." Tanis assured.

Dixie's Group
"Glad everyone is okay. We must be really close to the cache by now, then!" Dusk said as she carefully crossed the chasm.
Fred's Group
"Hold up, Tanner!" Fred called out. "You might be able to slide down on these ropes, but the rest of us are going to try... THIS!" he said proudly as he motioned toward a minecart, made of the old planks and pulleys. "This baby uses 300x-style tension pulleys with steel bearings! Should be a fairly smooth ride. Everyone aboard!"
"If I die riding this thing, at least it was in the spirit of adventure..." Luna said as she carefully climbed in.
Sybella's Group
"Well that settles it then, let's move out!" Flim-Flim said, slinging his suitcase behind him.
"Hold up, don't you hear somebody?" Scrappy asked as they all paused and got quiet.
"Do you think it's... a phantom?" Flim-Flam whispered.
"I dunno, but I'm ready for 'em! DA DA DUH DA DA... PUPPY POWER!" Scrappy said as he ran toward the noises with his little paws ready to splat.
