Swamped

You haven't got time to mess around. This is your chance to get home. It takes two weeks for a lizard-worm to regrow enough of its head to actually eat anything, Crosswinds is likely to be able to catch the damn thing before then.

Still, you do have one idea. It seems Crosswinds took most of the swampleaves out of your pockets when questioning you earlier, but they seem to have overlooked the two mystery ones. Perhaps these have some of the sleep chemical in them.

It seems worth a chance. At the least you can probably find out what the leaf does. Maybe you'll even have time to tell Keeper about it.

But the lizard-worm's still flailing. You grab on with your other hand, and attempt to climb onto its back. It's a good thing your claws are made for gripping, because its scales are thick, and it's rather slippery with all the water it's been crawling through.

When you reach what's left of its "neck", you toss one of the leaves down the throat. You hope this is the right move.

There's not much you can do now except wait to see if there are any effects.
