Getting the pliers requires setting off what, IMO, is the most complex chain of events in the whole game. I'll start you off.

**so far, i have done all except:
started up the tractor and,
met the second feline.
i tried to start it up several times, but nothing.
am i supposed to meet the feline after the lion somewhere?
also, is there anything else from the hut i need to know about?
the orc has been really irritable too; i tried pouring water on it, and it didn't help.
