* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: The protagonist ultimately uses his own body to plug an active volcano, preventing it from erupting and destroying the local civilizations. Then again, the lava doesn't seem to hurt him. The chance of rescue is small, but he can wait.]]

Possible solutions include: [[spoiler:waiting for humans to expand and to build a bridge; planting a tree and waiting for it to grow; searching for an underwater passage; waiting for fishermen to lower a net; waiting for water to freeze, picking the right spot and waiting for ice to melt...]]
