Please get us out!

Summary Oh my... Please, get us out of here!
All of us here were tricked into coming here.
We went to Eberdeen Island to look for a rare herb
and made a deal with the bluffer.
The bluffer sent us here to find a special type of ore.
The ores were easy to find,
but a weird man took the ores we found and did experiments on us.
It turns out the ore can eat time!
I think the weird man was trying to figure out how to process and use it.
Sometimes he ate the processed ore and cried in agony...
He would mumble strange things everyday...
It seemed like he was suffering from hallucinations.
We wanted to escape, but he was always watching us.
Please help us get out of here.
Please!
