wind blow us away?"

"Unfortunately it could," Che agreed. "I fear that our timing is wrong
again."

"But there has to be some way!" Gwenny exclaimed.

"We have to reach the Good Magician's castle."

"Perhaps we can go around the Gap Chasm," Che said.

"The map indicates that it ends at the water."

"Then how will we cross the water?" Jenny asked.

"We shall have to fashion a raft or similar craft," Che said. "We
should be able to do that in a day or so, if we can find suitable
materials."

"Oh, this is getting so complicated!" Gwenny wailed.

"I could summon a winged monster," Che offered.

"No! I have to get through this myself, or it doesn't count. I mean,
with your help and Jenny's, but not with adults or monsters. Otherwise
I won't have what it takes to be chief and might as well give up, and I
absolutely refuse to do that."

"We'll get through," Jenny said reassuringly.

So they proceeded on west, and as the day expired they reached the shore
of the sea. They scrounged for food, and found a pie tree with an
overripe cherry pie and a somewhat soggy chocolate pie. It would have
to do.

Che found a deserted shed, and some old pillows. The shed seemed to
have an old debug spell on it, because there were no bugs inside. They
made themselves as comfortable as they could for the night, the two
girls lying down on either side of the little centaur. "I don't mean to
complain," Gwenny said, "but somehow I never thought about the awkward
little details of adventuring. It's really more comfortable at home."

"It's better than being a prisoner of the goblins," Jenny said. "I
mean, when the Goblinate-"

"I know what you mean," Gwenny said. "Male goblins are brutes. That's
why I have to be chief, if I can.

Then we'll try to be civilized."
