[Setting up took some time. Building the wheels, longer. But not long after the floods have swept through the village, Ade works to remove the debris from the road. Namely, by attaching logs to pulleys and pressganging the villagers into lending a hand. Of course, those villagers may not be too enthused, which is why she's taken up position at the end of the rope.]
On my count! Ready? [Mumbles and shouts arise.] Three. Two. One! Heave! [Heave.] Three. Two. One! Heave! [Heave. And just like that, slowly but surely, a log is returned from where it rolled into the muck to hanging in mid-air, not far from the home it originally belonged to.] You lot up there! Get ready with the hammers! [Now it's just a matter of reattaching it.]
On my count! Three. Two. One! Heave! [Slowly but surely, the log rises. Ade almost slips in the muck. She feels like home.]
II. Treasure
[It's dark, now. But the map said there would be a cache near the riverbank, and that's where Ade's wading for it. Still, searching through the silt and the weeds in the dark is just asking for finding nothing but pebbles. She glances around and sees nothing save the shapes of trees. Thinks she might be safe enough, so she kneels alongside the riverbank and breathes out. Slowly, carefully, measured. Like breathing a fire to light. Only in this case, it's… well, a light a light. Soft and white. After a few moments, the ball the size of an apple floats up, and around it, Ade feels the Fade ripple.]
A little more to the north this time? [She wonders aloud, before turning towards where the river branches off from the hill.]
