A large, gurgling pit of quicksand. Many adventurers and poor critters lie at the bottom of the pit. The pit is surrounded by an extensive swampland and is shielded by the many trees and shrubs that surround it.

I am a young child who lives on a farm. I do my chores each morning. I am thin and malnourished.
Here, grab my scarf...I'll try to pull both of us out. Thank you so much. The wicked one is trying to make us both fail! When I pull, you pull. Ok? I have a bucket too, many we can dig our way out? I'm weak and hungry, please help me.  Let me see, Maybe if I pull you out onto my shoulders you can use the bucket and....Oh my Boot! These may help you escape and go for help.  Here, take the bucket! You are bigger and stronger. I will wear your boots, thank you so much stranger.  Here goes nothing! I have always been a fan of taking risks! How do you think I ended up here!  I'm lucky we have found each other, my parents are gone and I am all alone. I have a rope belt; could it help? I can tie it around your wrist and pull.  Great idea, I am going to try and make some steps out of here with the fallen before us. They may bless our journey. Could you hold ont my compass to make sure we head out of here in the right direction? Yes, I learned to read a compass when I was lucky enough to go to school. I am horrified by these dead bodies! I will close my eyes now, I'll wait for you to guide me.  I am sorry, remember their sacrifice may be our safety. Would you mind giving me the scarves also, I am going to try a grapple to assist our escape. I learned this one on the streets, I never finished school, not my style. Here goes nothing! Yes, take them and save us! I am digging and I do not feel that we are getting very far, could you climb onto my back and look for me. I have stacked the buckets to make them stronger. If you can reach the rim let me know
