As I popped back out of the lowest level of my expanding camp, I collected another few mushrooms and watching the giant skeleton bang on the door.

It's a wonder he can just keep going like that. He must have recovery magic up the wazoo, otherwise I think his arms would have crumbled to dust ages ago.

Crazy.
