Keavie scouts over the water. You are carrying the following on your person: A baited fishing pole (in hands). A metal pail (in hands). Keavie says: lets try here. l pole This is a simple fishing pole constructed with a slim, flexible branch with a string wound about a knob at one end and a hook dangling from the other. If you find something that looks as if it were good bait, you can 'bait hook'. If you were in a place you could fish, you could 'fling line' and if you got lucky enough to get a tug, you could 'hook fish' and 'haul in line'. HP:230 EP:230 - l pail This is a metal pail, designed for carrying bait or other small, wet items. There is a small handle for carrying it and rust marks along the bottom. It contains: A wiggly earthworm A wiggly earthworm A wiggly earthworm A wiggly earthworm A wiggly earthworm A wiggly earthworm You say, "Ok!".
