After half the day has passed, I've finished butchering the remaining imps. With the meat put racks, and all the refuse in sealed tainers, I don't have anything else to do for the rest of today, so I go back to separating lighter stone from darker stone.
After doing that for the remainder of the day, I go to sleep.
Today, when I check the cavern, I don't see any living creatures left, imp or otherwise. I'm still hesitant to leave though, sihere is a ce that the goblins could e ba for something. I think today I'll py it safe again as well, and just separate stone again.
With there still being no evidence of goblins today as well, I decide that I spend some time moving the corpses bato a pile to burn ter. If my leg doesn't heal oige, I'm going to really regret this, but for now, it's at least some work I do that isn't the same b work I've been doing. It'll likely take a few days again however, so I'll keep w at it until I've got them all piled up.
It took three days, but I finished moving all the corpses into a pile again. sidering I was then at level 99, I spent the day just separating stoo safely reach level 100, as I lie down to begin my transformation, I remove my brace for tonight. I wouldn't want its restrig nature getting in the way in case that somehow prevents my prestige from taking hold.
Avaible Traits:Iron Gut: es some ive aspects of eaten foods.Improved Dexterity: Increases dexterity and manipution beyond what your form would normally allow.Teise: Spell. Variable Cost. Radar ping style view through ahen surface where you cast. Default cost is 20 mana for a 10 foot radius. Cost increases at a cubic rate versus radius.Improved Regeion: Increases regeive speed somewhat.
Avaible Species:Hobgoblin
There are a lot of things to take in here. First, a new species repced goblin, and frankly, I have no idea why. Sed, two raits are avaible. Which means I actually o make a plicated decision here. I was aiming to get improved dexterity, but the new choices are good as well.
If I take a moment to evaluate the options (while ign Iron gut), Improved Dexterity should be useful for tool utilization, but half of the problem is currently being solved by the fact I'm making things from stoh magic, so I don't have to fumble trying to use my cws to actually make things.
Teise could be hough, since I could essentially see through the stone walls to some degree, which, given my enviro, would help greatly. In fact, long term, it might be even more valuable if it works like grourating radar, since I could identify pockets of different material, and potentially use them.
The st option, Improved Regeion sounds like it would be useful, but I feel like it fits in a category simir tut. Ultimately, I don't want to put myself in situations where it is necessary to utilize it. If I avoid dangerous fights, I will. I'm sure someone somewhere would like this, sihey could fight dangerous fights, and recover quicker, but I'm tent with only taking safe fights as necessary.
I think I've made up my mind. I'm sorry improved dexterity, but I'm going to be choosionise this time around. As I make my choice to prestige, I feel my sciousness draining, as it has each time before.
Well, I suppose I'm back to being somewhat weak again. The plus side is that my leg seems to be pletely healed. I'm not missing any HP, and I don't have any odd feelings in my leg anymore. The unfortuhing now is that I'm going to level even slower if each prior prestige was anything to go off of.
First things first though, I'm ravenously hungry. I go and fill my belly before anything else. Once I've eaten a bunch of food, I check myself out. The small horn stubs from before have gained a little size, and my fur has gotten even darker.
For the few days at least, I want to haul the buckets of refuse from butchery to the pile of corpses, and collect wood to burn it. I nning on attempting to boil blood down, but I think that'll have to wait until the ime at the soo.
I spent 7 days gathering wood both for the corpse pile and for myself, since my own colle had gotten dangerously low. I was nervous heading outside at first, given my low level, but after a little while, I found it to be as peaceful as it normally is. So tomorrow I'll be burning the corpse pile, along with all the refuse that I had stored in the sealed buckets.
While that happens, I've decided to haul all my buckets of separated dark stoo my storehouse, sihey've also started to pile up in my room. The smell of the burning corpses is really quite bad, so I seal my room and the storehouse off whenever I enter or leave, just for the sake of preventing the smell from lingering.
The corpse pile seems like it's going to take a long time to really burn down, so I've e up with aask to work on here in the cave. Since I moved into this sub-cave, I've been using the mana ste crystals a lot, especially once I was injured. At this point, I've drained almost all of the ones I've gathered. I wasn't particurly ed, sihey're all around me here, but I actually do o collect more of them, plus I've actually noticed a new feature with them.
I had left a few empty ones on my desk, and they've regained some of their glow. Not much, but enough to be noticeable. However, the ohat are all clumped together in the biill basically empty. Now, I don't know the exact issue, but my hypothesis is that they absorb ambient mana, and all of them close together are essentially all trying to share the same limited supply of ambient mana, and barely filling up. This isn't the only evidence I have for this either.
When I tried taking some crystals to the surface, the crystals overheated and fell apart. I know from experiehat I regain mana much more quickly on the surface than down in the cave here. Which means that if I want these crystals to recharge, I'll o space them out. The other thing I notiy trip to the surface was that the rger crystal seemed to st longer before overcharging on the way to the surfad breaking, which probably has to do with its higher volume to surface area ratio.
For the rest of today, I make my way into some sub caves, and fill buckets with fully charged crystals, and bring them bay room. For now, this be a temporary solution. What I want to do is make a crystal charging apparatus that I haul part of the the cave, to charge a bunch of the crystals, and then bring it back before any break.
As much as I want to go out and colleore lion root to re-supplement my food supply, I do have enough imp to get me until the goblin visit, and given my weaker state right now, I'd like to wait until I'm stroo venture part of the way down the mountain to harvest lion root.
Since I've decided to stay inside for this cycle as much as I , I begin tinkering with a crystal apparatus for attempting to charge them. I have one or two ideas I'd like to try tomorrow. For tonight though, I go to sleep after cheg my status.
