Yo, it's a turn!
KEEP ROLLIN'
You continue to roll the sentry gun.
|Suddenly, you get the idea that it would go faster if you ran on top of the barrel. You jump up on it, and start running. You make good time with such a method, and you soon arrive at 400m. You feel more experienced at barrel running.
okay this time i figure out (with my mind) what the yellow orb does
You open up the thermos, and focus intently on the yellow orb inside.
|A odd voice pops into your head. It says;
“Turn four…Turn four…Therein lies the answer…”. You wonder what the heck turn 4 is.
Wake up using +1 bonus. Slash emperor with beam-sword!
You try to wake up from your injury induced dream.
|You wake up and jump to your feet. On second thought, you shouldn’t have jumped up, now you feel even more woozy. You still take out your beamsword and try to attack Emperor though.
|Your concussed and woozy state cause you to miss Emperor by a bit. You feel less woozy now though.
Stab at Siquo with pitchfork.
Repeatedly.
You try to stab at Siquo, despite your blindness and deafness.
|You don’t quite manage to find him because of your blindess and deafness. Both those conditions start clearing up rapidly though.
While in the clinic, I look around for some spare metal plating to make myself extra armor out of. I'll just let the globe bot keep hounding Aussie.
You try to look around for some spare metal plating.

The
wasps go full out crazy on the mini assault robot!
|They swarm around his head, and they start to sting! The mini bot doesn’t manage to get them away, and about 5 of them sting at once.

wasps.

|It just barely catches Aussies arm but
|Ausssie only gets a few bruises.

Accuracy rolls of 3, 4, 5, or 6 cause stunning rolls, and accuracy rolls of 4,5, or 6 cause damage rolls, sword effect rolls, and possibly critical rolls in addition to a stunning roll. The gun can’t move itself, and it’s pretty heavy so carrying it requires a strength roll.
The sentry gun watches the 80’s bot carefully…

|rollerskate forward.
|Katsuun sees him rollerskating off down the hallway.
---:
|Just after the 80’s bot goes through it, the puzzle door closes! The puzzle has been reset once again.

|Shoruke’s head injury was healed up fine, but he also feels like he drank 5 cups of coffee.
