You continue westwards along the beach, observing rapid changes in the environment. The trees with their thick trunks become rarer as the rough hills continue on your left, a pair of mountain peaks visible in the distance. You do not see any more trolls but on two occasions you hear what may very well be one close by, but now armed with the beast’s secret weakness you simply pick up the pace for a short time when this happens.<br/>Presently the hills fall down and are soon replaced with a bog of black mud. Whilst not as traitorous as some bogs, the mud being surprisingly stable in places, it would be a pain to cross and so you stick to the beach, although you do note the bog is lush with grasses, weeds and vines, hydrophilic plants Vinny is pretty sure he recalls from a herbology tomb.<br/>At times the wet mud extends to the sea and you are forced to cross it, but such stretches of land do not last long. Presently the bog too falls away and you enter the first semblance of fertile land: climbs of grass, leafy bushes, even the odd low growing tree. The land rolls up and down in gentle slopes and in the distance you can make out some game like animal. However, there is still no other sign of civilization and the time has come to decide whether you will turn back and head for the secondary island with its boats or press on.<br/><br/>Kasumi<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">  Your psionic armour’s duration is up.</div></div>
