Well, got little reason to stick around the island. I go back, step through the Delta portal, and then camp on G3.

I shall also go through the portal and meet up with GLQ then, if I can, dig at G3. If I cannot dig, I'll just move there.

Sarn, Tiger: You return to E6 and go through the portal. You've discovered island Epsilon, well done!
...Well that's a bit different.
It would seem that this archipelago was once volcanic. But for this island, the past tense is not accurate. An archetypal stratovolcano juts up to the west, lava streaming down its side lazily. You make note that it should be a shield volcano since stratovolcanoes don't form in oceanic crust, but nothing else about this adventure has made sense either.
Zylaa: Carefully stepping around chunks of flesh that may or may not be koala, you dig at square F2, and find a decidedly puny 237 shinies.
GLQ: You return to the mainland. Mainisland. Mainislandland?. Something like that. You go through the portal and head to G3. At long last, you are reunited with Celestial as a tearjerking musical score soars in the background.
Celestial: You return to the main island, and meet GLQ at G3, but you're too tired to do any digging.
Draco: You dig at J6, and uncover a rather impressive 553 shinies!
Extreme Fishery: You manage to dig a second time on H3 due to an embarrassing cosmic oversight. Unfortunately, you only find 264 shinies and confirm the location of the portal to island Delta. You continue on to H4, which appears to have been in a quantum state of simultaneous dugness and undugness since around page 10. You most definitively dig there, with five evil koalas as notarized witnesses, but you only find 236 shinies. Finally, you head on to G4, which unfortunately had most definitely been well and thoroughly dug quite some time earlier. After a day that spawned several alternate realities, wrapped up half a dozen logical paradoxes and created twice that many new ones, you finally collapse in exhaustion and sleep very well.I'm sorry! It's not your fault! Somehow all of my bookkeeping errors seem to coalesce around your team.
Goosh: At long last, you successfully dig at A8. Was it worth it? Well, on the upside you get a whopping 554 shinies. On the other hand, you find an ancient temple. A very, very small one. You go to loot it, and see a Strange and Valuable Idol Resting on a Pedestal. Keeping your eyes open for any Indiana Jones-style traps, you slowly head toward the palm-sized statue. You reach out to touch it, and its ears start to glow.
Wait, isn't it supposed to be the eyes glowing? you think to yourself.
Gee, never heard that one before. My worshippers had some freakin' weird ideas, all right?
You look down at the idol, and catch on quickly. Sorry, didn't mean to be insulting. So are you down here for a reason?
Yeah. So you can accept my offer of great power and yaddayadda, or you can deny it. What do you want?
Uhhhhhh...
Make it quick, I was right in the middle of a game of astral bridge with the other long-forgotten minor tropical island deities.
All right, I guess.
Good man. Here goes.
You hear the sound of immaterial knuckles cracking from a higher plane of existence.
Oh, you may wanna book it. This can get messy.
You turn and run out of the small temple as the sky begins shaking and the ground seems to ripple. When you're almost out of the temple, part of the ceiling collapses on you. You're unharmed, but rather badly stuck. You figure it'll take a day to get out. And yet, you feel...faster, somehow.
All around the island, the ground distorts and the sky vibrates for a good minute. After the baffling phenomenon passes, you all feel faster and more agile, even in the dense jungle undergrowth. Everyone now has an extra 2 moves a day added on to all of the previous move options! This does not affect your digging capabilities, however.
Sarn-Tiger: 7080 shinies, square D2, island Epsilon
Zylaa: 4126 shinies, square F2
GLQ, Celestial: 6949 shinies, square G3
Draco: 3494 shinies, square J6
Terra, Nova, Tamia: 7982 shinies, square G4
Goosh: 3498 shinies, square A8

That sounds amazing, GLQ! I meanwhile also found treasure, was attacked by and devoured face-eating koalas and got stoned.
>> As in, petrified. By a sphinx with a gambling problem.

Anyway, we'll go to and dig at G3 and H2.

Move to D3, dig and move to C3. ^^ And I forgot if we can dig again or not, but if we can then we shall! >3

 Sarn, Tiger: You dig at D3, finding 381 shinies. You then head on over to C3. The search is extremely productive, with a grand 587 shinies. Oooh, I wonder what that floor switch does? ...Judging by the ground shaking and the chunks of flaming rock spewing overhead, it triggers a volcano explosion. Good to know, although it thoroughly flies in the face of volcanic geology as we know it. You run to duck and hide. A football-sized chunk of nearly molten rock lands next to you--a near miss. Unfortunately, the heat from the red-hot rock starts a fire, which soon spreads and surrounds you. Looks like you won't be going anywhere until it burns itself out. Zylaa: You dig at F3. And you dig some more. And then you dig a bit more. Finally, when you're completely sick of digging, you stop. With 568 shinies in hand, you feel as though you accomplished a lot today. Just watch out for fires, okay? GLQ, Celestial: You dig at G3 and find abso-freakin-lutely nothing. Except an empty chest. You regather your courage and head to H2. Somewhat more successful, you find 378 shinies. Draco: You head on down to J5, and spend an uneventful day finding 379 shinies. Don't expect an uneventful evening. Extreme Fishery: You set out for a long day of digging starting at F4. You find 319 shinies and a mysterious voice speaks in your mind that you'll conveniently ignore until the end of this turn. You found a Magical Mystery Spot, yippee. Nonchalantly brushing off this awesome victory, you head to E4, finding 294 shinies. With your momentum picking up, you charge on to E3 yelling the sacred shinymongering war cries of old, but it doesn't do you much good since you only find another 277shinies. Goosh: You spend the day struggling to free yourself from rocks, cursing your generous gesture of making everyone faster. No one even had the decency to come and help you. Finally, you get out. At some point in the evening, you all hear a rumbling from the distance. You do your best to look toward the source of the rumbling--and see an erupting volcano. Oh yay. Oh joy. Oh, this will be so much fun. Chunks of flaming-hot rock fly out of the air and smash into the ground almost as hard as geologists smash their heads against the walls when they read the critically failed volcanological research contained herein. There is an incredible boom, and four massive hunks of rock explode upward out of the volcano. They land at A6, J6, F3, and J7. Jungle fires start in all these squares and all the squares sharing a side or a corner with them. You can't go in or through these squares until they burn out. Zylaa, you were caught head-on in the blaze! You find a small pond--you have no choice but to hunker down there until the fire passes.

*hunkers* (Blarf clutching beachball = <3333) He likes that beachball. He ain't letting it go again. Also, it's pretty amazing how many of our daring Indiana Joneses trek through these thick jungles wearing flowing robes and cloaks. Not that I should complain, seeing as it's easy to draw xD |

Not that I should complain, seeing as it's easy to draw xD That's cause robes are made of win B) They repel snary jungle foliage. And does the fire mean we loose a turn, or is it just stopping us for the remainder of the day? |

Not that I should complain, seeing as it's easy to draw xD Well normally I have a flowing coat XD But that's a bit cumbersome to dig in  And the beachball is great XD Where does one get a Blarf size Beachball? So, now to move and dig. Uhh.. If you're trapped in a flaming square, are you stuck there? >.> J6, I'm on J5 which is on fire. Can I escape or stuck having a very hot night dodging flames? If I CAN move, I'll go and dig at J4. Otherwise, uhh.. I better practice some ice magic >.> Or some ninja art to keep me cool XD |

Are we not allowed to move within a square of C3, as well as the other four?
