[Maribelle investigates the snapped rope, pulling some extra slack so that it can reach where she needs it too.]

Well, at least it's only the rope that snapped. If you'd snapped the wood as well, that would be a project that could take all day. You do know how to at least tie a square knot, correct? If you tie the two ends together that had snapped it should work for a temporary fix at the very least.

What exactly do you do for a living that require's such ridiculous strength? I thought only that oaf Vaike would be able to make blunders like this.
