When you eventually reach the shore, an onslaught of bouncing bulbs will begin. They do not target you directly, but as they careen off the cavern walls and the grass, they cannot help but pummel you in the process. There is nowhere to run, as the shore bumps up against walls of rock on all sides. If you can look around long enough - not likely until the bulbs are taken care of - one wall only goes so high. But, it is too high to jump and too sheer to climb. An errant bulb knocks a bag from a shelf in the wall, spilling a bean that burrows its way into the sand.
From that bean, green tendrils being to sprout, working their way toward the surface and breaking through. Monique continued swimming along fighting the waves. A few times she was pulled under, but she continued onwards. She could do it! She could make it.
She saw the shore get closer and closer until she finally made it. She crawled onto the shore and laid on her back. She took deep breaths of air.
After she regained herself she straightened her jacket. It had been knocked slightly askew in the swimming process. Rolling herself up she took a look around. She finally made it to the shore. What now?
As she looked looked around her was hit in the arm with something that bounced. What was this? There were bulbs bouncing all over the place. Using her arm to cover her head she ran around looking for cover.
Except there was none. A bulb soon hit her knocking her over. Rolling so she was face up again she pointed her wand upwards. "Immobulus!" she yelled.
Picking herself up she noticed a bean growing in the sand. What was it doing? No matter, maybe she could hide behind it.
Running toward it she cast a few more freezing charms along the way. Soon she had her back against the bean stalk and would pop out every once in awhile to cast a few more freezing charms at the bouncing bulbs. Once those were taken care of she could figure out what to do from there.
