Aaa! Back down to two guys...sigh...I left and they were fine, healthy. Came back and all but Ponce (the one who came by canoe and was later made 10 years old) and Ponui (the sinister chief twin who likes sleeping and dislikes learning and work) were gone...really gone and decomposing.
I can't help but think Ponui was behind this somehow since the robe just so happened to fit him...hmmm...perhaps he became too ambitious and couldn't stand waiting for his turn...hmmm...if I'd only been watching to see how he did it...
I think Ponce suspects something as well since I saw him chistling 'Last Will and Testim...' behind the rubble.
