- There's a path leading to the bridge, though it's overgrown from not being used.
- Energy renewed, the group takes off to explore, schlepping their packs along, too.
- Chatting it up along the way, all thoughts and questions about the mysterious bridge point to the Hermit of Hell, how long he was there, and what he ate.
- The path after the bridge takes them down to the bottom of Hell, which is beautiful and quiet instead of filled with fire and terrifying. Phew.
- Setting up camp in a clearing doesn't take long and Lee and Ellie cook two-minute noodles for supper. Somehow Fi's never had instant noodles before—Ellie and Lee are blown away by this news (and Shmoop is, too).
- The friends sit up late talking around the fire, excited to be somewhere so few humans have ever been before. Then they all pass out.
