Fill the hole a bit, then try again.

Okay that was weird,

Since your last move:
Congratulations! (2025-07-20 14:46)
You dig a hole with your shovel.
You find 1 rifle and 6 bullets in the hole. You gain 141 XP.
Congratulations! You found the treasure mentioned in map 10955. You crumple the map up and discard it.

I'll never to this day completely understand the magicks of the island.

Well hells,

You examine the treasure map. The creases on the map are well set.
You appear to be at the location marked. Time to start digging for treasure!

and yet when I do, it's

The hole is too deep. If you were to dig any deeper, you wouldn't be able to get out!

so Treasure map #10955 is a bust.

The forum was migrated a couple of weeks ago but right now the game and wiki are in the process of being migrated to our new server.
