Good morning. It is another Cave of Cud, Caves of Cud daily time. I'm oblivion cubed. We're going to run the daily, see how far we get. If we are approaching an hour, we're going to cut it short and see how much we've done in that hour. So today is day 131 of 2026. Let's find out what kind of seed we get. Ooh, a Praetorian Trukin Humanoid. Rapid release finger flexors. Cool, okay, so we're gonna want some guns. Let's see what we get. If we can get some chrome revolvers or something, nice and easy, early. How about it would be nice. Okay, cool. Let's check what we have for right now. Okay, yeah, so we've got a Ischar rifle. Not bad, not bad at all. Camsell, Bruxins. It's on our feed right now. Okay. Okay, okay, what's this? Steel shield. Yep. Okay, cool. I'm just gonna... Historical level, that's great. And that's, I tried to move but stayed in the same place. Keep exploring. Alright, is there a stairway down? No, nothing down. Probably one of these red guys is gonna be our first quest giver. Let's find out. Where are we? Did I lose myself? Okay. It'd be kind of nice, not that. Okay, so there's our, there's our little dude. Bulu Boo or Yomet? Okay. Cool, cool. Actually, no one. Just like by the daughters of exile. Oh, I can learn harvestry for a specific fish. Let's just... Lubu or Yemette, okay. This guy, some flaming tar pits, hmm, that sounds fun. Hated by the Putus Templar, hated by the cult of the royal lamb. Yeah, okay, well, I'm not going to share water with them, but we can absolutely do work. so, okay, that one's out in the desert, this one's out in the hills, okay, let's do one more thing here, check out that clay oven, sometimes there's food just sit in it, and if there's food just sitting in it, yeah, I want to eat it, okay, so where are our, location so here and here is where we're set to go now probably most likely yeah we don't have wayfaring so we're going to get lost a million times unless we're very very lucky but that's okay let's go to the I guess tarpets first because it don't think we have to actually do anything there Bronze Longsword, leather whip. Ooh, an engraved pestle. Uh, uh, must be here, eh? Well, look at the engravings. Any engravings or paintings we want to look at, because, of course, that's going to inform us about the world. Ah, a masterwork battle axe. Ah, it is rusted, though. Never mind. Not because it's good, just because we can. Cracked buckler, a leather whip, and an odd trinket. Let's find out what that is. A box of crayons. What's that thing that you're supposed to always draw with the box of crayons? I forget. Let's draw my face. Yeah, draw a pretty picture, okay. Sometimes there are a special, there's a special box of crayons that you can get that will let you, that will create items when you draw the picture, which is pretty cool. a jerk, okay, let's see here, yeah, so we've got cracked chain mail. That sneaky guy, okay, we've only got nine slugs left, that's not great. So we are going to have to definitely keep that in mind as we go here. We should keep this in mind, I say, and then I immediately waste one. You know what? Do what I say, not that what I do? No, I don't know. Don't follow my example. Um, okay. Let's see, is there anything down here, maybe. There's a little spot, there we go. Let's take a shield slant. Hmm, yeah, hey, that makes sense. It does help to have a shield to field slam. A beaded bracelet, that's decent. I did not mean to take the corpse. It automatically picked up the meated bracelet, so we'll drop that. Is it day, it's almost daytime, eh? So, I think I can probably get away with putting the shield back on for right now. Why would you unequipped the longsword? Why would you do that? Okay, let that there. Now, kill him. We're going to knock him down, get him some slices. places. I'm gonna just rest here. immediately lost again. That's, yeah, that makes sense. Uh, what were you, I saw? Let's go this way. Okay, so now, let's try and go down to... built a shawl of the godly boon. Okay, I thought we were going for the tarpets, but yeah, we are not. Is that, seriously, that's it? That is so easy. Okay, cool. Uh, back to the village. Back to the village if we can ever, uh, manage to... Go anywhere without getting lost, it is. Ooh, you I care about. Yeah, right, can't do that. We will mark it as a... We'll try to slice it apart. on me. Let's kill this guy first. Man, there is a lot going on right now. Let's try. Of course, I'm confused, so I can't. Okay. Have I dropped confusion? Yes, I can. Excellent. Um, let's take us out, injector, I guess. And, what are we at? Okay, um, let's go to defensive stance. hit us once but I don't care, we're gonna fill that on. Okay, this guy. That guy, this guy, and now this one, heal up. Oh, wow, what a... We should also, let's see, have I been picking up nanonomatic jackhammer? Well, that sounds awesome. 2D4, it's got a chem cell in it. Replace the cell with a full chem cell, put that on. Are you one-handed weapon? your two-hander, eh? Yeah, okay. I don't know that I really want to lose my ability to shield bash, but we'll keep that in line. Let's just remove that cell for right now. What's here? Bronze Dagger? Take that. Ooh, a painted club. Did I just take the snapshot corpse? I did, of course. I was looking at the wrong one. Eat it. Oh. Okay. After murdering a popular rival by choking the life out of him, the Sultan of Cud disappeared. because the chain mail just a second it's not cracked anymore i thought that was cracked okay uh put that back on cool okay um yeah let's see if we can did i get what's here I almost feel like I should pick up one of these bows just to give me something extra to shoot with when inevitably I run out of bullets. But, you know, that's probably okay. So, something, nothing terribly crazy. Come on over here, take a look at that, Salmetic Course, okay, there's auto search from here. We are still lost, of course, so we'll have to go to another map. I kind of feel like I should move aggressive stance and defensive stance, but yeah, it's fine. Okay, go to the far screen. Yeah, it's still lost. We still can't see anything. It would be really nice if we can find a floating glow sphere or something. Oh, one of you. You are surprisingly difficult. Boerskin gloves, we'll take those, equip them, because I don't think we had anything on before, right? Yeah, no. Cool. These dang guys. Okay, let's... at this guy. There's a weird artifact here. There is a gentling cone and iron. There's some wooden arrows. Nope, that's not here, that's above. Okay. There's supposed to be a weird artifact here somewhere. Where is it? That may be already picking up. Put a Fungicide grenade on, it's not going to do anything for us, but whatever. What was I looking for? The weird artifact. The freezing staff. I'm gonna guess that last one was also a star rod, hey? Yeah, neither of them have cells. Okay, what are we using for, yeah, and how does this stack up? So, yeah, okay, I think we're gonna use this, we're gonna install our Kemp cell. We're going to equip that. Okay, how's our weight? We're getting close. being else here there's this guy shoot me, where are you exactly painted shortboat? Yeah, we'll think that. Look at it first, of course. Okay, that's kind of what I feared. Alright. Okay, we don't have anything to reload with. How many arrows do we have 20? It's probably better than nothing, so let's put this for right now. Right, mark this as a target, and then shoot him. rifles than we are with bows. I don't actually know if those are different stats. I bet you they are, aren't they? Now that I think about it, do we have bow and rifle? Actually, that reminds me what? rifle things. I would really, really, like, you know what, I've got 300 points, let's take that. Mine's compass, so we don't get lost quite so much. And then, what are we using, we're using a long sword right now, hey, long sword, and, hey. So what would be more useful? So our toughness is really, really good. Wheelpower. Let's just increase our agility, I think. I think that's probably the best option for us right now, so we don't miss quite so much. I feel like that's useful. much all the time. Let's go over here. Just keep going. There we go, finally. Okay. Pull down. And there's going to be somebody that we can sell too. There you go. Where are you, buddy? There you are. uh, lug, legged slugs, geez, we'll take your arrows too just because I am not confident that I will not run out of this stuff. Um, get rid of that very low chem cell. Don't need that, or any of these, is. This thing's cool, but it does weigh a lot, don't need it, so. as well that one we can't sell because we need to turn it in and these are just trade goods so we'll maybe keep those on us for right now. We should do This is a one pound artifact. It's a five pound artifact with 400. Interesting. Let's, I guess, take this as well. Let's see what it is. It could hurt. Okay. Good enough. Put this back on, because it is, of course, better than the... Oh, it's some sort of tonic. Oh, fix it spray foam. Well, that's awesome. Okay, perfect. Okay, great. Now, who gave us, who gave us that quest that we're currently on? We'll go to the shell. So now we've got a recoiler, we can recoil home anytime we need. Let's go try and find this, uh, the tarpids, right? Oh, wait, wait a second. Did that say the tarpits are sepheroid 27 naprush? Yeah, that is up here. So we'll just mark that on our map. Now, I don't think we're carrying anything extra. I think we kind of got rid of all that. Did anyone, I didn't see anyone that had any fun things for sale, like a floating close sphere, hey? Yeah, that's okay. going to head up and... Okay. Let's check this place. Um... Yes, books. Love the books. Um, hey, you, dude, you, talk to me. Finders keepers, he says. Uh, yeah, sure. Um, let's see. spoiler for that boat that's okay um yeah let's keep going interesting little uh things take you an absolute pound. of these guys? Not all of them were, I just arched. Darn. Let's drop back a map. with something, uh let's pop back sense, pop back here, and see how we're doing. Now all these guys hate us. It's pretty okay. Oh yeah, okay. This guy sees me. Dang, there's a lot of this guy. Are you hostile too, little bug? No, you're not, no kidding. Or at least not yet. Did I accidentally hit you? I totally did. Oh my goodness. Hey, that's okay, we were running low on time anyway, but that was fun. Let's see, we got 12,776 points. I could have played more carefully. Uh, yeah. Very cool. Okay. Well, that's going to be it for today, just trying to remember to do the dailies, because they're fun, so yeah, that's it. That's where we rank right now, number nine. We will catch you, hopefully, tomorrow. As always, happy gaming.
