Kakepuku, Diary entry, Day 4

Today when we woke up, we heard the war horn again, packed up, had breakfast (by now there is only one third of the sheep left) and headed towards the sound. After about half an hour we come to an empty pa site. Inside there are only the frames of the buildings and some kumara rotting in kumara pits. In one of the pits it looked like there had been life recently. When we got closer, we realised that there was a tunnel leading underground. Jessie went in first to check that it was possible to climb through (it was). Jessie, Alex and I go in while Oliver and Caitlin stay outside to guard our equipment. Jessie takes her torch, and I take my matches. After a while in the tunnel we come across a fallen booby trap. We crawled past and nothing happens. We crawled on and come to an opening. There are two empty boxes. Then our hopes rise when we see a wall that seems different to the others. We start to throw the boxes at it, then finally it broke and revealed another tunnel. We climbed through it, then after a little while we came across a string across our track. We burnt through it with my matches without putting tension on it, nothing happened and we moved on. We came to another clearing and found a magical staff and two boxes. Jessie opened her box and a big, hairy spider jumped out, but she smashed it with her torch. Then I opened mine and a puff of gas came out and knocked me unconscious.
