It takes the rest of the day to gather enough strong wood suitable to build a workable raft, able to traverse the lake towards the small island. Because of the dangerous environment, the group didn't seperate too far, even though this might have sped up things a bit.
On the next morning, Sir Dryw's magic should be able to do the necessary work to put the pieces together and to get going.
For now it's time to get some rest, so the adventurers set up camp a few miles away from the lake.
Storm informs his companions, that he is not going with them on the island. Apparantly the first-hand experience of getting eaten alive was a bit much for him, so he wants to head back to New Phlan for the time being and offers to get the information they have found out so far to the Council, making sure they will also get their share of the reward, of course.
