I etch my ats into the wall, and begin my normal daily routine. Holy, soon I'll o copy all these stats from the wall onto stoablets, and make more space here. I'll be running out soon. For now I'm fine, but it might be a nice break from w oore room one day.
I finish eating, and then make my way to the store room to begin leveling the floors. While progress is going at a det pace, I do notice a slowdown based on my smaller total MP. I have to stop a lot more to ge out crystals for shaping. This will probably cause deys moving forward.
At the end of the day, I recheck my status.
Ok, so I gained 6 HP, and one MP from leveling this time. I mark the stats down on the wall. I also only gained one level today. Maybe when I sit down and copy these down, I should do some tabutions as well. For today though, this is enough.
The hree days go by ufully, and steady progress is being made oe room. Tomorrow I'll o go and harvest lion root again.
While my MP is quite high for my level, my HP pool is still retively small pared to what it was only a few days ago, which makes me a little nervous foing outside. I just hope that my slightly more intimidating look will disce any would be predator from victimizing me in my weakeate. Despite my s I quickly fall asleep due to fatigue from w all day.
The day, I get ready, a out to harvest more lion root. I take a bit lohan normal because I'm beira cautious and using as much cover as I while I travel. The only time I had a little worry was when I passed by the tree where I saw the birds before. They were there again, but instead of scattering, they started making a racket as I approached, so I gave them a wide berth a around.
The positive for lion root is that it's plentiful. I'm thankful to have found a good source of food that I readily get. Every time I harvest it though, I'm painfully reminded of the dowhat I have to spend the entire day harvesting and preparing it. With spuds, I could harvest a much longer supply of it in the same amount of time, and I didn't have to prep all of it in advance. Well, I suppose survival is a give and take. The few days I suppose I'll just hole up in ie area and work on it some more until I o harvest more lion root.
The six days I put my myself to the grindstone and build the ste area. I've almost finished all the floors and walls now. The remaining work is almost exclusively carving out shelving and bins from the lower area to increase the avaible room. I'd guess I only have four days of work left now. I'm thankful I have an indoor task like this to work on while I gain levels. I always feel nervous at the lower levels, since I'm so much weaker than I was before.
When all is said and dohough, I am gaining stats much quicker than before when paring levels. Something I want to be careful of though is the arrival of the fireball goblin. I've been keeping a tally of days since he arrived st near my bed, I think pretty soon he should be turning back up, so I'm going to be extra cautious. I have extra dried imp meat, so after I harvest the lion root this time, I'm going to stop harvesting until after the goblins are gone again. With my 5 days pnned, I go to sleep.
The five days pass without a hitch. Every day, after I eat, I would go to work oe room, closing my room off as I leave, and closing the ste room off as I go down, making sure everything is sealed, so I'm not suddenly attacked while I work. I would then cautiously peek out into the cave through a small hole I would make iryway before opening the whole thing up aing each day.
Finally, on the sixth day, I move all my spare buckets into the ste space. As much as I'd like to go arieve the water buckets on the surface, and trade them for empties, I'm too nervous with the looming threat of the fireball goblin approag again to go outside. Even the idea of leaving my room makes me a little nervous. Tomorrow I'll run out of lion root, and I'll be back to an all meat diet until the goblins leave again. With a little bit of extra time on my hands today, I decide to carve a new area iry tuo my room. While I won't plete it today, I'd like to have a pce where I properly butcher new imps. For now I spend time breaking blocks out of the wall, and then pressing the stoo a bucket, and filling the bucket with pressed marbles, aing it aside.
Normally, I'd just go dump the marbles further in the cavern, but now I store them in my ste room. I'm already going through the trouble of pressing them, which I didn't used to do. Then I'll have buckets with pressed stone as a stone shaping material if I want to make anything.
For the hree days, I tinue w on my new little space here. I periodically stop to check if the goblin has arrived again, but each time, I'm greeted by ay cavern. When I'm finished, I've got multiple spaces on the walls where I hang an imp, or other small creature, to drain their blood. I've got slightly lowered spaces underh them where I set a bucket to collect the blood as well.
I've heard of some people who eat blood, or use it as an ingredient in cooking, and maybe I'll try it, but as I uand it, dried blood makes a good fertilizer, so I might try my hand at that if I have the opportunity.
Satisfied with my little sughterhouse area, I head bay room and sleep for the day while reviewing my status.
Today, I think I'll take the time to start copying the wall stats down onto tablets. I still have those buckets of pressed stone around. I quickly make tablets as needed as well so I shouldn't o leave the room, but I will still go to check the cavern periodically.
While the tablets 't hold a lot of information individually, only about 6 stat blocks oher side, it's still plenty when you sider the amount of wall space I'm using right now. I ahem in ological order, and only keep one kind of imp stat blo a tablet. I have a siablet with my inal imp stats, or at least what I think I remembered of them. The for each kind of imp I was, some of which take up more thaablet.
By the end of the day, the wall is , and the tablets are ly stored on a shelf. I'm quite pleased with myself to be ho. It feels very modern to have information stored away like that... even if it's on stoablets.
Tomorrow, gobliting, I might even start doing some basic tabutions off the data I have. With that decided, I once again y eyes and check my status befoing to sleep.
I'm almost past my level 100
stats, and I'm only level 21. Plus I now have sealed off the door to my cave. So I feel a bit more fident going to sleep, even though I know that the goblin will be back soon.
