ROAR!"</strong>Grumpus shouts and shouts some more once again, jumping about and splashing lava angrily! It runs down the mountain and into the forests about, starting fires and causing animals to flee in panic!<strong>"I am so UNHAPPY!"</strong>He roars and rants!<br/><br/>Aqua's rain cloud's are quickly summoned! The happy little raindrop is very good at summoning rainclouds! But the rainclouds are not very heavy, it is hardly a storm just a gentle rain! Soon they are raining on the hot lava! But still, they are just raindrops and lava is very hot! It is slowing things down, but it can only do so much!<br/><br/>Cor then starts to shape the earth about the lava, causing it to flow back into the recesses of the mountain! He is good at shaping earth, but it is a lot of earth to try to shape! Working together though, Cor is able to create channels for the lava that cause what he cannot put into stable pools to flow towards Aqua's rainclouds! It does not take much to avert the course! This allows many animals to breathe a sigh of relief as the lava is no longer flowing to them!<br/><br/>Now it is Rin's turn to do her thing! And the fiery little spirit flies towards where Cor has caused the lava to concentrate and sucks in the heat! Ooooh there is so much! It is like drinking a very hot drink very fast through a big gulp! Rin is able to handle it of course, but after a moment she starts to get light headed and has to stop! Still, she has consumed quite a lot of heat, and now Aqua's rain has an even greater effect, concentrated as it can be over one place thanks to Cor, Aqua's rainclouds combine into one huge cloud, raining much heavier now!<br/><br/>How could all of that have gone so well? Thanks to Agi! The lucky fire spirit helped greatly by causing the actions of the other three to go as well as possible, and now the lava is accumulating in a pool that Cor is rounding out to make room, Aqua is raining heavily on, and Rin is cooling down on her own as soon as she is no longer too light headed from the last big gulp!<br/><br/>A lava pool has formed! All magma from the volcano will flow here from now on! It is big enough that it will make the mountain safe! The land has changed thanks to the spirits! It is a safer and happier place! Happy spirits cannot help but do a little celebration dance!<br/><br/><strong>"What?!?"</strong>Boiling Grumpus pouts.<strong>"You stopped the lava! Oooh that makes me even more unhappy!"</strong>He pouts and stomps but the spirits have their system worked out and the lava is channeled, cooled, and rained on!<br/><br/>Hooray! The day is saved!<br/><br/>But wait, Rime has asked the Grumpus a question!<br/><br/><strong>"Why am I so unhappy?!?!"</strong>He pouts, crossing his big lava arms for a moment, looking as though he is going to not answer just to be a grump. Finally he growls and points.<strong>"Because of THAT!!!!"</strong><br/><br/><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/FNOUKpB.jpg)</div><br/>Following the Grumpus's big rocky pointing finger you see on the horizon breaking through the storm clouds in the distance a battered and beat up wooden ship!<br/><br/><strong>"This is an island for spirits!"</strong>The grumpus pouts!<strong>"Spirits and animals! Not mortals! Drive them off! Drive them off and I will stop being so unhappy!!!"</strong><br/><br/>Well, that should be easy, right? They are mortals in a rickety boat in stormy waters! There are many ways spirits can make sure the mortals never land!<br/><br/>...but is that the right thing to do?<br/><br/>Is the Grumps right? Is this island happier if no mortals are allowed? Or should the happy spirits do the opposite of what the Grumpus wants and help the mortals land? It looks like if the spirits do not help the ship might not make it to shore in any case!<br/><br/>It is time once again to make a choice, and use your gifts to affect the course of things on this little island!<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>The Lava Pool has been added to the big map in the first post!<br/><br/>Happy Spirits have a choice to make! Do you want to help or hinder the mortal ship? Please describe how you do so!</em><br/>
