Ankh Hints
How can I wreck the beam?
1 of 6: You don't have an axe or anything like that to chop the beam down with, so try a whole 'nother solution.
2 of 6: The beam is made of wood. Think of something that might get rid of wood but isn't a conventional tool.
3 of 6: Termites. See if you can find any.
4 of 6: Go back outside and check out the "El' Buyall Import Export" stall that's near the girl's prison cell window.
5 of 6: There's a jar of hurricane termites on the shelf just below and to the right of the prison window. (They're just underneath the baby snakes.)
6 of 6: Go use those on the rotten beam to get Thara down out of her cell.
