The Fox -> RoughtonAlright, let's get moving.
Amoretto kicks back in the cart and watches the miles pass. Over an hour later, with countryside and tiny hamlets and little streams fading into view, they arrive at a village. A huge forest lies ahead of them, a lake off to one side. The main road snakes into the woods, while overgrown smaller roads lead northeast and southwest.
"We've made Roughton so Cromer is about three miles north of here," says Cass, peering into the trees.
"Let's be direct, speed up the main road and hit quick and get out of here," says Frog.
"Too risky. We should take the smaller road in and scope things out," says Dell. "It'll be slower but worth it."
Amoretto gains +1 tally for exploration.
County CouncilEl Tigre puts his face in his hands.
"I...I must have. Everything is so confusing after coming out of that weird machine. I believed this was a dream and the metal insect was a foe. Forgive me señor, is there anyway I can repay you for the damage I caused?"

"I vouch for him!" Helen says, her voice almost reaching normal volume. "This man rescued me from a Terraterror fight, Natrix."
Natrix keeps attaching his arm. "So you can fight, huh? You want to make it up to me, you can help put Helen here back together. Those weird hands of yours can bend the metal back into place, like so..."
He projects an image on to the wall, a blueprint showing how Helen's tentacoiler morph should fit together, side-by-side with a breakdown of her current damage.Break into a building, and check the insides for less soggy wood. Either something will be left open, or there will be something to cut or bite through, so there should be some way inside. Inside, look for something easily burnable, and if it fails, try to cut small pieces off something with the razor tail, including possibly some of the soggy wood, as it could be left out to dry.
Once that's done, if wood is acquired start a fire, bite off the top of the can of beans, and set them to cooking.

Sandeep tries to use the tail to lever off the boarding over the bingo hall, but it won't budge. Out of the corner of his eye, he thinks he spots something moving between the crumbling houses. Probably nothing. He begins to use his teeth instead, his hunger spurring him on. After all that, he has splinters in his mouth, but a lot of chewed up chipboard. The way into the bingo hall is still barred with a metal door behind the boards, but these boards will make a fine fire.
He uses the lighter to spark some twigs and leaves and set a fire. As he does, he occasionally hears a creak from the nearby ruins. Something is definitely out there. He tears off the lid of the beans with his teeth and sets it on the fire to cook. They cook up fine and he chows down. They're not the best he'd ever had, but the hunger from the day's work makes it very satisfying. As he finishes his meal he spots through two broken windows, through the corner of a house, a huge cyberrhino sneaking round towards him. It doesn't know that Sandeep has seen it.Sandeep is no longer hungry.
Residential Sycamore Woods”Thank you Sable. I will head west now to deal with the Hunter-Snatcher. Unless you want me to help disassemble the tractor to possibly help make another robot body for you to control. Plus tractors can pollute, so making it unable to do that should help preserve the environment” Exit the tractor and try to break parts off. Then head NW and search for the hunter.

Sable uses it's powerful claws to tear off parts of the damaged tractor while Sandra helps. Together the two of them open up the engine and rip parts out. The tyres are left alone as apparently they explode if burst. Soon though, the machine is ruined.
"The weather and plants will do the rest," Sable says. "Thank you. These old parts aren't useful for us, we need special receptive metals for our bodies."
With Sable's blessing, Sandra walks northwest to find the Hunter...Park Sycamore WoodSandra finds herself in a clearing among some rusting children's play park equipment. There are toadstools here, some of which appear recently picked, the grass around them somewhat trampled. The woods continue southwest, while northwest Sandra sees the towering buildings of the city.
