> I'm still stuck. I still don't understand what the soothsayer says about 16. I've been on the north side of the volcano,and I can't use the wooden plank to get over it still. Do I need to get something or do something else? Do I need to find more gold coins?
> Inventory:
> Onions, float ring, wooden plank, red potion, green potion, silver key, small silver coin, sack crown of destiny, bucket, 2 branches, a cross, coconut, bottle opener, sunstone, sap tap, sword, iron support, and pliers.

You're trying to rush to the end. Stop reading other hints and concentrate on where you are and what you are doing. Forget the volcano. You proably have other things to do. How many gold coins have you given the soothsayer? From your inventory I can tell you need more in your inventory before you can do anything over the volcano. You need something from the soothsayer. You won't get it until you have given her ten gold coins. Where have you looked for those coins. Did the pixies give you one? Did you get one at the gambling salloon? What about on your way back from the island? These are the areas I found harder than the others. Check them out.
