Overall an epic turn. You could almost think that I rigged the results to be extra epic, but I didn't.
Sorry about the lateness of the turn, I was unco sick yesterday(I still am a bit today...)
stuff the yellow orb i fly forward
|You succeed at using your mental powers once more, and you fly to 150m.
I grab some plants from the Swamp and patch my wound up before running forward.
|Your side wound isn’t bleeding nearly as much anymore. You attempt to go back to the swamp so that you can get some plants that would heal you up for good.
|You are about to start walking the 50m back to the swamp when
|a mysterious duststorm starts up! When it ends, you see a wooden barrel in front of you. You open the barrel using your pitchfork.
|You find a vast variety of swords in the barrel, some long, some short, some rusty, some razor sharp. You are carrying too much stuff already to take any of them now.
Anyway, I'm going to continue my trek through the swamp with my SwampWalker Shoes of Awesomeness. Or my Awesome Plant Shoes, as R1ck calls them.
The hospital staff let you out at 260m, as they promised. You attempt to start walking on the swamp.
|Despite your wooziness, you got to 320m! You feel a bit silly wearing your Awesome plant shoes now, since they provide no benefit outside the swamp, plus they are a bit ugly.
Dry my clothes using the heat of my beamsword. Then wall-run forward again.
You try to dry your extremely wet clothing using your beamsword.
| |You almost cut your briefcase in half through your overzealous movements. You clothing is now very dry.
I tie the mshrooms together into rope then ninja jump onto the croc and tie the rope around its muzzle to attempt to use it as a mount, again.
Mushroom...Rope...? |Well, alright, I'm not going to stop you. You attempt to make a rope out of the delicious mushrooms.
|You have created a rope which wouldn’t be able to keep a baby tied up.
|You discover more of the same kind of mushroom! They more than make up for the amount you used.

The mini-croc attacks Katsuun again!
|The mini-croc hits him in the right hand with it’s tail!
|All of the bones in the right arm are completely broken!
| Katsuun is smashed into a wall, and his heart stops beating! A tranquilizer dart hits the mini-croc in the head again, and he falls asleep! A medical team rescues Katsuun, and gets his heart beating again quickly.
|The doctors quickly determine that repairing all the bones in the arm will take quite a bit of time.(4 turns)

|The metal pieces hit the goblinbot in the torso!
| |The goblinbot’s body is lacerated by the flying pieces, and he dies from his injuries. The hyrdrabot is dead as well, since it needed at least 7 heads in order to keep functional.
WaspSwarm: At 140m. Loyal to Aussie. The swarm currently gets two attacks per turn, with -1 accuracy for the second attack. The swarm is pretty depleted, but still in high spirits.
|The
wasps decide that a rolling nest would be better than a flying one, and they try to convert the wings into wheels.
|They weren’t very careful, and the nest fell from 2 metres up to the ground during the conversion.
|The nest was almost crushed to nothing, but it could still be repaired.
