Snippet #2357361

Once Corki had tied the mask on his face, Tom hurried to get in the boat, as she was already there. Clambering in beside her, he was happy to see that his agility points paid off, as he didn't slip and fall. He peered through the eyeholes of the deer mask, only having two circles of vision to observe the following events.

"Hope this works," said Corki, and Tom couldn't help but cringe at the idea of being dumped in the cold river water. He was distracted from his thoughts, however, when her shout of "Charge!" alerted him to the fact that the boat was actually moving, having had a little encouragement from Andromeda. As they drifted towards the other side, Tom could make out the two posts and the empty vase, and instantly drew the conclusion that flowers should go in there.

He used the paddle to scoot the boat on a bit faster. He was getting excited, pleased that they finally seemed to be making some progress with the puzzle.
