I've taken the path all the way north to the moated castle; couldn't do anything there. Been to the shack, it's locked and search for a key turned up nothing. And I've been all the way west to the mountains, and have even tried climbing the trees. I have: the matches, the watch, the bucket, the stick of dynamite, and the threatening note.
