Our heroes attempt to make the best out of a swampy situation, and race to Rockport before they miss a fateful train. They also meet a beloved radio personality and spokesperson, and hold him ransom for MaxFunDrive donations. Magnus exhibits his upper body strength. Taako gets charming. Merle takes a stink-bath.
Tropes
- Charm Person: Taako casts this on Tom Bodett
- Gut Feeling: Merle "has a feeling" about Tom and tries to kill him, but the others stop him. Turns out that the feeling was wrong.
- Instant Leech: Just Fall in Water!: Subverted...because our trio must instead fight giant leeches that have paralyzing breath in addition to a taste for blood.
- Mucking in the Mud: The PCs sink in the swamp mud if they don't move every so often. Merle is completely submerged at one point and comes out looking like a “shit monster”.
- New Powers as the Plot Demands: Subverted. Clint tries to use a wizard spell but Griffin catches him.
- Psychic-Assisted Suicide: Subverted. Merle tries to use Charm Person to do this to Tom, but the others stop him.
- Running Gag: "Scientists are yet to agree on x."
- Shout-Out: Star Wars
- Captain America
