More bad luck for most people this turn. Some crazy overshots that others got don't help the matter.
Well I'm kinda boned if I can't shut this fricking bot down. So I'll try again.
|Your ribs aren't hurting too badly, so you try to shut down the earthbot again.
|The earthbot is completely shut down, it’s legs give out and it falls to the ground.
| |The earthbot’s face is smashed into a unrecognizable mass of junk! You aren’t quite sure if you will be able to turn the bot on again, but you try to reprogram it anyways.
|You have entered into a programming trance! You type extremely rapidly on the keyboard, and your hands blur as you mess around with some cords.
|You know that you have made the globebot much more efficient, and also that it’s your slave now, but beyond that you can’t remember what you programmed in to it. Of course, it’s face is still smashed in, and it’s still shut down.
Think happy thoughts again. Dream of flooding magma, incinerating the intruders! Use luck bonus if necessary!
Then chop at the globe again.
|Your bodies natural defences have rallied back, and they drive the evil intruders away from the fortress wall!
|You pull the lever in your dream, and the magma flows out slowly, and the invaders all get out of the way. But there is now a river of magma between them and the fortress, and it will not cool for another 3 turns. (Until then, no more fever resist rolls)
Try puzzle again.
|You side starts hurting again, but you still continue on with your puzzling.(Wound roll every turn again)
|You gaze at the puzzle for a minute, then you realize perfectly how to slide the pieces, and you do so. Soon, the puzzle is put together, and the wall slides upwards, revealing the hallway up ahead. You hear a ticking sound nearby, it sounds like a overly fast clock.
Woah! look at all those 5's and 6's! I wake up and fly forward!
|You wake up from your dream very refreshed, and happy that your wasps are alive again.
|You levitate into the air using your mind, and you see a strange hatch in the ceiling above you. You float up to it, and then open the hatch.
|You find a small dusty wooden room, with a tarp lying over something in the corner. You throw off the tarp, revealing
|a zombie robot lying underneath! The zombie looks hungry for your brains.
Fine! I'll attempt to force the door open and jump through it before it closes again.
|You stand on the pressure plate, then after the door opens you jump dramatically through it! You easily made it through,
| but you keep on flying, and you land in the swamp head first.
|You taught yourself how to swim at motel pools, so you easily get back to the surface after a second. You somehow lost your rope in the swamp while you were swimming though. You are now at 210m.

wasps. All the
wasps can now fly much faster.
