The wet and wild antics of water gathering eventually had to give way to the hard labor of lugging around rocks, but all three men proved that they were up for the challenge. George 's plan to separate out the rocks was going to come in handy later, and though his pace was slow it was steady. There weren't as many volcanic rocks this far from Apopo, but his sharp eyes picked out every single one along the path, and both of his bags were eventually filled.
Harper 's decision to go straight to the source on his feathered wings paid off handsomely. He found the rock they needed in abundance, in every possible size. In no time at all he was able to not only fill his bag, but to choose only the finest of volcanic rocks for their endeavor. He was the first one back to the meeting place with plenty of time to relax a little before the others rejoined him.
Hadama employed a similar method: he Aquaported to waters nearer Apopo and swam along the shore, gathering stones that were washed up with the tide. Most of his were smaller, but the quantity helped to make up for it, and once his bag was full he returned to talk quietly with Harper until George made it back as well.
A waterproof map case had been delivered along with the barrels, and a murmured request for one of the men to bring it to the shore soon revealed what it held: a waxed parchment with blueprints for a simple filtration system.
"We will use the remaining empty barrels," Hadama explained, nodding towards the leftover containers that were still in the boat that had brought them all. "If one of you will remove the bottoms from two of them and place the sieves over the holes, they can be stacked on the barrels we will use to transport the filtered water. Someone else will need to climb up and place the rocks in the upper chambers, filling them up as tightly as possible."
Round 3!
Avengers Assemble the filtration stations, using empty barrels, the sieves, and the stones!
1. build the framework for the filters, using two empty barrels and a sieve for holding the rocks
2. layer the rocks in as tightly as possible
Hadama will interpret the blueprints and supervise from the water
