Farewell, Volantis...

As the Volantis: Realm of Fire and Stone closes, we look to the future to new worlds, new mysteries, new possibilities, new dangers, new excitement. We have lived in Volantis for 4 weeks. We shall now say good bye to Volantis, forever. We shall now say good bye to your fellow cave members as you will leave them today. Perhaps you will see them down the road again...
 I would like to wish you good luck, as we venture forward, to the unknown....

Johnny's task in the Stone Age was to help the Neanderthals discover fire. The neanderthals were having trouble keeping torches lit when they went on Irish Elk hunts. Johnny showed the Neanderthals that pine resin would keep the torches going. After the Neanderthals understood what Johnny was saying, the Neanderthals and Johnny went on a hunt with pine resin on the torches. The hunt was successful because of the pine resin keeping the torches lit through the damp air.

Johnny's task is to go into worlds and fight a animal and if he dose not he will have to stay in the world and he will die in that world. The problem there facing is when they try and light fire the damp air will blow it out and they discovered that if they use pine resin on the fire they will have the torches lighted up.

Johnny got sent back to the Stone Age to discover fire. When Johnny got sent back he met these Neanderthals. They went hunting together to kill a Irish Elk. So they brought torches to make the Elk go off the cliff. But the torches wouldn't light up! So then the Elk chased then. The Elk killed Unga, and Dunga, because they couldn't run as fast as the others. So the others made it back, but some of them got injured. Later on Johnny put resin on the torch and lite it with fire. Guess what! It worked. So they went out to go hunt again, and they chased the Irish Elk off the cliff! So they succeed!

Johnny first saw a group of neanderthals crowded around a dead animal. They were eating the meat raw with their bare hands. Johnny went hunting with the neanderthals. They used torches to chase a Irish elk off the cliff. When they went near the cliff the torches went out and the elk was chasing after them. Two of the tribe members got killed by it. One of the neanderthals got pine resin and Johnny figured out that it improves fire. They now went on a hunt and succeeded. Johnny got the gold coin

Johnny's task is to help make the neanderthal's Fire source better. The damp air cools the fire enough to make it go out. The neanderthals hunted by chasing Irish Elk off the cliff. Johnny finds out pine resin makes the fire last longer when Munga throws a stick with the resin on it in a fire. They go on a hunt to see if it works better. The pine resin does work better.

Johnny had gone to the Stone Age to help out the Neanderthals. He didn't exactly know what his mission was, until he had done it. He needed to help the Neanderthals, by creating and improving fire. Johnny and the tribe do that, and they decide to test it out. They wanted to hunt the Irish elk. When they started, the fire worked like magic. The Irish elk was terrified and started running away. But soon, the damp air put out the fire, leaving them as the prey. They started running. They had gotten bruised and got cuts. When they got back, they were fixing up the cuts with a glue like substance that kept the wounds together. Johnny had watched as the resin dropped and egnighted before his eyes. He knew this was fire. He tested to see if the fire would burn out. It didn't. So they went to fight the mighty Irish elk and and defeated. They had an amazing feast, and ate a long time. The fire has helped heat,light,and domesticate everything.

6Emmet said...

The problem Jonny was having was that the Neanderthal's tourch he's went out. Jonny had to figure out how to keep them lit in damp weather. Munga threw a stick in the fire with pine resin on it and it lit imedeitly. Jonny lit a torch and waved it around in the rain and it stayed lit.

Johnny had killed a tiger in Rome many years ago, and now he has to save that tiger! Johnny's adventure starts in the Stone Age where he has to discover and improve fire for the Neanderthals. Whenever the Neanderthals were hunting, they would chase an Irish Elk off if a cliff, but they never succeeded because the fire on their torch would always go out when they got near the waterfall. So, Johnny went hunting with them and discovered what the problem was. When they got back to their homes(caves), Munga- the female of the group -used pine resin to seal their wounds. Johnny saw that when Munga threw the stick with pine resin into the fire, it lit very quickly! So Johnny ran outside and showed them the fire! Then he got a gold coin and finished his quest in the Stone Age!

9Ella R said...

In the chapter "I discover fire", Johnny's task is to improve the fire. As Johnny and the tribe of Neanderthals were about to get the Irish Elk off of the cliff, their torches went out do to the damp air. The elk was no longer frightened by them since there was no fire, so the elk started to chase the tribe and Johnny. The elk ended up killing Unga and Dunga. Later at the cave, Munga was trying to fix up her brother with pine resin. After she is done gluing the wound together, she throws the stick with the resin into the fire. All of the sudden it starts to rain, and the fire didn't go our.they then discovered that the resin helped the fire not go out.

Tori9nighthawk said...

Jonny had the task of helping neanderthal's. He had to help them discover a new way to light torches so they won't go out by the cliff. The meanderthals first hunt was unsuccessful they lost two people in the cause. Than he had got the idea to put tree sap on it to not make the fire go out. The second hunt with the new torches was a success they had the food they needed. After Jonny saw a gold coin it was his first and new he completed his task.

9abbie h said...

Johnny had to show the Neanderthals the way to keep fire lit in the damp weather for the gold coin. The problem was that the torches went out during the Irish elk hunt and 2 tribe members had died. They hunt in groups of 4 so 2 can see the Irish elk fall while the other 2 where leading it off the cliff because that's how they hunted.

9kendra said...

Jonny drops in to the Stone Age and sees some Neanderthals. He goes over to where the were standing and sees the are eating. He quickly joins their pack and they go hunting. They see a huge Irish elk and start. To chase it with torches in their hands then the torches go out. The Irish elk start chasing them and two Neanderthals get killed or ripped apart. When they get back the girl is healing wounds with pine resin and then throws it in the fire. Jonny sees this and tries to communicate with them but it did not work.they finally got it and on the next hunt it was successful. Jonny finds his gold coin now knowing he completed his task.

9firestar abby said...

In I Discover Fire, Johnny Rawten's task was to teach the Neanderthals how to make fire last longer in the rain to improve their hunting ability. The problem the Neanderthals were facing was that they were on a hunt and their torches went out because of the moist air. The point being that they didn't know how to make fire last longer, and that is why Johnny was there. The Irish elk that the Neanderthals hunted were scared of fire, so the way they hunted the was, they used fire on torches to scare the elk so they could chase the elk off of the cliff. Johnny came up with the solution because, when the Neanderthals were on their first hunt, when their torches went out and the elk chased them and injured some of them, one of the Neanderthals was closing the wounds with pine resin. At that moment Johnny had the idea tha if the pine resin sealed the wound, then it would make the torches not go out. Then Johnny passed his task.

9Bailey H said...

Jonny gets to the Stone Age and everything is the same. Bushes, trees, and the whole land scape. Jonny is walking through the forest and sees that there is a tribe and that tribe consisted of Unga, Bunga, Munga, Dunga, and 1 other. The tribe is going on a hunt with the 5 and 20 others to go and hunt an Irish Elk. Lightning strikes the tree, and they go light there torches. When they are walking through the see it and they all go silent. They try to chase it off the cliff. When they ge closer there is mist from the water below. The torches go out other then one. Jonny is the only one with a lit torch, there is not enough light to chase it so 2 tribe members did not survive. They do and run out of the way. The have to put the cut together and Jonny sees the resin and thinks to put it on the torch. But he needs to light it on fire and they go over to the tree on fire and it works. He shows them and puts in in the rain. They chase the elk an,do they win.

Johnny lands in the Stone Age and looks around he sees an open landscape with thick forests. He sees a group of people huddled around something he approaches them. He then sees that they are Neanderthals and that they are gathered around a dead animal. They then look at him and size him up. They decide he checks out so they accept him and the action starts right away. Lightning strikes a tree and the tribe grabs the glowing embers from it. The tree embers become torches after a little coaxing. The tribe walks into the forest in search of something to hunt Johnny doesn't know what that is but he follows along. The tribe walks and suddenly encounters a wild Megacerus(A.K.A an Irish Elk). They all stand as still as a statue at first but then they all charge. The Irish elk,very frightened by the sight of this sprints away(I mean can you blame him? If you saw half-naked men charging at you with torches in hand you would probably run too). The tribe used to running and jumping, leaves Johnny in the dust they eventually get to a cliff but the torches burn out. In a horrifying twist of events the hunters become the hunted. Two tribe members are killed. The tribe runs away. They discover the resin that keeps the fire going in damp air. They then kill The Irish Elk. Johnny gets his gold coin

Haley 9 moonkai said...

Johnnys problem was that he hade to make fire last.


When he first landed there he landed on his buttum. (That had to have hurt) He went walking through the tall grass. then out of nowhere he heard lighting hit a tree.after that he saw a group of 5 neat herbals gathered around a dead animal. They brought Johnny back to their base.on their way back they saw a fallen tree and the Burt bark was on the ground. They gathered as much as they could and starte walking again. When they arrived back they prepare aired for the first hunt. They grabbed some dry sticks and went and lite up the stick with the bark. On the way through theforestwhen they approached the mist stuck the fire out . Then two neat herbals died.

Johnny's task is to help the neaderthals learn more about fire. The neanderthals problem is that their torches go out in damp air Johnny helped them. When they failed their first hunt and muga or something got a cut so unga healed it with resin. It started to rain and Johnny realized that the fire was still going with the resin on it. He tried to show them but it wasn't working they finally got it went hunting and defeated the elk
