A problem I foresee is if they dodge onto the fires diagonally to me. I can't move diagonally. I can attack them, but I risk landing on the fire again. I'm going to make a macro that spams . so I can get through the night.

If they are crippled and dodge into the fire, kill them. Much faster than . spamming.

Plus, if you spam the wait key it is likely your fires will go out before morning. It is better to keep trying to kill them so that you either do and then can sleep, or they are all severely crippled when the fires do go out.

I always make my boxes pretty big, big enough so they dont spawn in it but big enough to run in if they get in/so I can find clay to throw.

Would help your life expectancy if you do that.

Smart idea, Corai. I have crippled one to the point that it no longer dodges my thrown water, and with a skilful strike I severed its horn. I also recorded a macro that repeats . 30 times and play it when the bogeys are in the wrong spots.

These creatures that taunt me, just out of reach...

Some practice and I can leach the energy out of water, rendering it briefly solid enough to hit and hurt the bogeymen. No, not really. I'm just flinging water at them. It seems to have some efficacy though.

Spoiler: Progress (click to show/hide)

I have flung several thousand handfuls of water. I am now a master thrower.
And with that, I manage to kill one of the bogeymen.

I took a bit of a beating from a bogeyman who hit me after he fell in the fire. Other than that, I feel fine. Just bruises.

I started with 1003 speed. Now I have 1074. Fantastic!

Removes water laced with boogeyman blood.
Immediately dies of blood loss.

I think he must have pulled out some extra blood while doing this.

Quick, someone throw magma and air. Then we can do that overused quote.

Which overused quote? Also, you forgot throwing an infinite amount of small limestone rocks from one pile of rocks.

I threw silt instead of rocks, so I have earthbending.

We used to mine everyday, but then the magma fortress invaded or whatever it is.

There, I did both.

But seriously, Reudh will now impress the mountainhome with hydrokinesis.

Thankfully as I killed one last bogeyman, "the cackling faded away." Tired and struggling to breathe, I hightailed it back to Praisebasin, realising that I had left my copper spear behind. Blast, blast, blast. I think I'll go find Dof's corpse and steal his crossbow and bolts; after all, I am now a Legendary Thrower so an arrow thrown by me should be death in an instant.



Rather than head southwest across country no civilisation exists in, I think instead I shall travel between civilisations. This is doable; I can head to the humans in the south; thence to the elves southwest of them, from there it is only a short journey to my destination.

I look in the keep I found Dof in. There, a carpenter seems to know me. Her name is Nod. I ask her about her family.



...My actions have consequences...

Nod is Dof's wife.
They had three children...

Oh, cruel fate.

...While searching for Dof's corpse, I find some hippos. Using my newfound powers of hydrokinesis, I invisibly jet water at them.

...To no effect.

I leave south of Praisebasin. There is a fort there, the last bastion of civilisation before the next human country some miles south. I find a new friend there.



He wishes to leave this fort, inhabited by four.

Kado and I travel far to the south. We are roughly three-quarters of the way to our halfway point, a cave called Necronights. Kado announces he is out of bolts; I spend a good hour chasing after him as he beats impalas, cavies and boars to death with his crossbow, when I suddenly lose sight of him. He is dead or missing. I think missing; though this annoys me it is only Mid-day (It is raining / The sky above you is a uniform and dark grey / The sun is directly above you, behind some clouds / A cool breeze is blowing from the east) and so I keep travelling.

There is nothing of note to report; except that I hope to reach Necronights before nightfall.



I reach Necronights in late afternoon and I prepare to enter. Wish me luck.

I sneak around in Necronights. I fall asleep in there- two giant bats see me and I flee, sustaining mild bruising. It is now just before dawn, so i deem it safe. Eventually the bats give up the chase and return to Necronights. Nothing more of import happens until I reach Zostraistro in the next country, the Nation of Thrones. I am now roughly a quarter of the way through my pilgrimage. There I recruit a maceman to join me.

My food supplies remain strong.

I intend to head slightly southeast to Acspishab, a fortress so that I might get more bodyguards.
