I'm doing Ae's first, for the sake of being formulaic.
While Uberbob clung to the rope pondering what to do next, it occured to me that I ought to examine Antifoo Island. I took the Magic Map from Shuri and warped myself there.
The majority of the island still appeared to be covered in red tape, with the words "DO NOT CROSS" written in big, bold letters across it. According to the sign at the front gate, the grand reopening was still scheduled for never. The Porta-save was up and running, so I tapped it before warping back, just in case Uberbob's next plan got us all killed.
I warped back to Upper Placespot and fell down the slope once more, though this time crashing into Uberbob. "The answer is beef!" He shouted as I struggled to get off of him and back on my feet. "And also, I have another plan!"
He leapt up again and got back on the rope. "Green guy I recently became best friends with! Get on this rope with me, and bring the other chisels!"
"You're NOT my best friend," Fawriel declared. "My best friend is D-"
"Less talkie more do-what-Uberbob-saysie!"
Fawriel sighed. He climbed onto the rope beneath Uberbob with the chisels tucked under his snazzy adventurer's belt. "Okay, here's the plan," Uberbob explained. "I'll climb up the rope, hammer in the next chisel, which YOU will hand to me, and then tie the rope around it and keep climbing up higher. Meanwhile, you pull out the chisels from the bottom as we climb so we can keep going up!"
I had to admit, it didn't sound like that bad of an idea. There was just one problem...
"You're NOT leaving u5 behind again!" L33tz4n declared. "You just sa1d you had feelings for me. I refuse to wait d0wn here while you do something dang3rous!" I was very surprised to hear such strong words coming out of humble and modest little L33tz4n's mouth. Uberbob almost seemed touched.
"Okay..." he said, smiling at L33tz4n. "We'll all go up!" he paused for a while, then added, "... Somehow!"
