you have just started to invade the fire nation [when Katara tells you to open the gate
from inside]

you are playing as Sokka and Katara

there is a gate, and walls looking like this:

==='''==

t he ''' is the gate

you cannot go around the walls.

on the other side of the walls and gate are a fire bending enemy, a pool of water, and a
lever switch. It all looks like this for s = switch, e = enemy, and w = water. '=' is
still walls and the ''' is still a gate. a _ subs for a space, or nothing:

=== ===
___www__ __s
e__www
=== ==='''====

you are on this side of the gate, or below it.

I am also stuck on this level, here is what I found that I can do:

I can freeze a path over the water with Katara and body bend the enemy across it to the
lever switch, and when I walk around he changes his fire aim. I cannot get him to hit the
level, and Sokka can't throw his boomerang over the wall. I can't use water bending to
push the enemy into the switch, no make him direct his fire at the switch, as he cannot
get in the right position. That would probably be useless anyway, as the switch can only
be triggered with a direct attack, and bending does not effect it.

so...help?
