Mossman's Hollow

Ahoy matey!

It’s been so long since I’ve seen another face, trapped on this rock with all these stumps has been drivin’ me near mad! Say, do ye have a ship? Might I be able to hitch a ride? No? Ah well, yer loss anyways. I’ve been buildin’ me own ship to escape with, and I promise it’ll be ten times bigger than that scrap of driftwood ye use to get around! HAH! 

Say, mate, how many stumps have ye destroyed? Do ye ever wonder what, er… drives ‘em? Like, what makes those tree husks alive? Well, since I’ve been surrounded by so many and destroyed my fair share to build me boat,  I’ve noticed that they have a sort of, heart. When ye chop the wood coverin’ their hollow chest, there’s a voodoo-powered doll suspended by vines and roots.

I made this distinct discovery whilst I was choppin’ away some o’ the devils. Must be what Roger uses to control the stumps, I reckon. I will say, however, those dolls have a curse about them. They don’t stay for very long after the stump dies out.
