Hello, and it's a Blaming Cube here, again, with another Caves of Cud Daily for day 134 of 2026. We are getting a true kin, again, a child of the hearth, with rapid release finger flexors. Our agility is trash, though, so that's going to be interesting. Random name. And let's see how far we get and where we start, all that good jazz. Okay, a Plains Village, but not Jopa. Some village lore, some more village lore. Fantastic. Those are kind of cool. Okay. Harved Diptick. Interesting. Let's talk to who is most likely to have quest for us. Probably this guy. Locate the layer of kaka, kaka, kha, kha, kha, legendary dog glider. Ooh, that sucks. I hate don gliders. Don gliders are not very fun. Let's see here. Do you have to trade nothing? What do you have for? Am I by Gersh? Yeah. I don't think we really need harvestry. And I don't think we really need that for right now. We'll just let that rep sit. Let's, what are we wearing right now? It won't show us in the screen, Will it? No, that's okay. What is that? Huh. Interesting. Okay, so we've got a few mushrooms, got a couple camsales, got a bunch of injectors, and some croccasins. We're going to get rid of the croccasins for sure. And... Let's check out who is the next person that's most likely to have a quest for us. So we did him. Probably not the warden. The Mechanimus convert is going to require us to take a little bobble to the six days tilt. We'll just tell him we'll make that journey. What is that thing? A tongue tyrant. Huh. Interesting. So the warden is very unlikely to have a quest for us. But this legendary shotgunner might... Can I talk to you? Okay. desecrate a ordained mirror, desecrate the shrine. Okay, yeah, sure. That's fine. I'm sure we won't regret that. Not in this play-through, at least. Alright, let's talk to this dude. Doesn't look like we have, but judging by the fact that we don't have anything in our inventory, I'm going to guess that we don't have any. anything that is a ranged weapon, but that is okay. I think we're going to grab these bullets anyway, and let's see here. What's above? What was that? What was that that that just... exploded up there. Is this something that is... no, that's not anything that I'm doing. Okay, we've got Kudgel, heavy weapons. Interesting. Okay. And we are using a cudgel, and we've got a torch. Alright, okay, decent. Let's pop into here. You guys are... Yes, okay. What is that? A tumbling pod. Ah, I bet you that's what's exploding. I'm going to guess. If it's not Reschafelor, we don't really care about it. Let's pop back to the main map here. So, yeah, okay, we're level one. It would be nice to... Let's drop down here, and just see if we can get some... I don't know. Crocs. Where is the croc to the east, hey? I don't see him. There he is. Let's go ahead and slam him. There we go, okay. Okay, I'm gonna move slam. I don't like where that is right now, so we're gonna pull this up. We will leave Rebuke Robot where it is, I think, actually. Okay, so, let's see here. I would love to get a level before we do too much else. Alright. Not bad at all. Okay. We've got another crock down there, I'm sure it sees us. Oh, we're gonna, yeah, miss our chance to kill it, I'm gonna guess. Yeah, yeah, the glow pads got it for us. That's okay. Hop into the next pair of saying, and check what's here. Nice little stairway down would be kind of cool. just there we go level two so that's great a whip up meal Okay, bonk another crock. Not bad. So those guys don't hurt us too bad at all, quite honestly. Let's see, what's our toughness at? 19. It's not bad at all. Okay. I would love to have a pistol. Chrome Revolver would go a long way to making that Trukin cybernetic actually, you know, work for us. Ah, ha. Okay, a whole bunch of snap jaws. I think that bark armor right here is probably better than what we have. So let's take that. We'll just grab this for right now. I don't think we strictly need it, but it is a good sales option. Okay, let's see here. I think we can face tank this. We'll take that steel butcher knife. Not bad, studded leather armor is better than the bark armor. This, I think, is a trade good, right? Yeah, oh yeah, it's in the trade good menu. Weird artifact, what are you? A stun rod. Oh, that's probably better than what I have right now. If I equip this, let's just take a look here. So, yeah, the leather apron, we're going to drop, we're going to drop the bark armor as well. Just keep our weight down. Now, the stun rod, this is 2D2, but I can put a solar cell. That's not how you do that. Install cell, solar cell. Pull this over, because I think with the cell, with the cell in it, I think this is probably better. Okay, we don't have any arrows so we can't use that bow, really, but that's okay. We're just going to pass a few turns here, get our health back up. And we'll bonk him. Chew had a long sword, don't want. Nope. Okay, it would be nice if we could get to that red guy before he shoots us, but maybe he used up all his ammo, I'm going to guess. Grab that. And a bronze mace. That actually might be better than the stun rod that we just got. Maybe. Oh, we had steel gauntlets on? Never mind. Put those back. Okay, he's just sitting there. We're just going to pass a few turns manually here, get our health back up, then pop down. One of them crit me. Gigantic shortbow. Four-handed by non-gigantic creatures. That's kind of cool. I'm gonna take it just to sell it, I think. Oh, did I just take a corpse for no reason? I'm gonna bludgeon him with him with his friend. Yeah, did you know you could do that? Fun times. Okay. Snapshot corpse. Let's pop up here. Wooden Buckler would be kind of nice, I think. So what's the Sulting Crustic Club? Yeah, there's not a whole lot here that we really need. A witchwood wreath, though. That's kind of useful. Bonk him. We'll take the dagger, because it's always nice. Then we'll bonk him, and... We'll take that iron mace as well. Okay, I think that's, there's no stairs down, hey? Yep, nope, cool. So let's pop back up, let's go to the village, hit that dromid and sell a bunch of this stuff. Don't need that. normal club we don't need the steel mace is kind of the only thing that is particularly great and I'm not super sold that it is in fact better than what I'm using One pound a trinket, one pound a trinket. Let's grab a bunch of arrows. And, ooh, grab some more lead slugs. You know what, let's grab some steel arrows as well, because it's functionally free. My goodness, you can get a lot of ammo for nothing. Okay, pop back up. confirm we're not wearing anything on our head, so let's put that on. Why not? That's a arm? It's an arm item? Huh. I would not have bet that. I... Isn't it called a neck ring? Yeah, huh. Okay, sure. Anyway, what are we? So this is one of our locations here, and this is the other location here. Black Central Tauzoar. So which one sucked the least? That's the big question here. So, desecrate the shrine at the ordained mirror. Okay, let's go for that one. We'll see if we can get there without getting lost. And we did. Okay, perfect. Pop down here and just take a quick look. Is there anything... Are you legendary? No, you're just a normal glow pad. Okay. Let's auto-explore, I guess. So what are we... Oh, something chirps to the southeast. Somebody dropped the turret. That's very uncool. What is that? Floated Leach. Okay, for the moment, it doesn't care about me, and I don't care about it, so that's great. Let's take that. Nothing else here. Okay. Okay, this is the one that we have to desecrate, right? So, we are going to look at it first, and then desecrate it. We need blood or putresents to desecrate a shrine. Okay, so we can make ourselves bleed if we stab ourselves or something, but I'm sure there's something in here that we can just kill to achieve the same. It's interesting that we heard a chirp of a turret in this area, but we can't actually get to that area. If we had dig or burrow or anything, if we had a pickax, we'd be able to do something about that, but since we don't, what I think I'm going to do instead here is, let's find, I think there was a salamander. There's a salamander. So how tough are you compared to me? Yeah, not very. Okay. So let's just slam it. Bunk. And let's get this mouse out of the way. It's a wounded. Oh, seriously, no blood? That's... Yeah, that's about right, I guess. Okay, let's attack this guy, I guess. Yep. I really want to attack the bloated leech. Dang, this thing. Okay, there we go, okay, so we managed to... Can I not... We still didn't get blood there, hey? Let's see. If I take the leech corpse and I drop it. and I... Nope, that's not at all what I meant to do. So this can go here, we're going to try this, we're going to throw this at the statue. Okay. I wonder if this will... count as a desecration. That's gonna be a big fat no, okay, let's try and make something else bleed. There's gotta be something here that bleeds, right? Do we have anything that will actually cut? I wonder if that's the problem here is we are using the wrong tool for the job. Make it bleed, please. Gotta make myself get hurt. Okay, let's eat our wishwood. And then just bonk this guy a bit. Krusted, yeah, still no blood though, hey. Okay, we need blood. We need blood, and then we can come back and get that. If we had kept one of those axes, we could have put that on, and, uh... and had it go with that, but see if we can find maybe a crocodile or something. What is that that is happening up there? Sugary salt. What? Wet, oddly-hued glowpad? What is this? I'm so confused. Uh, that's amazing. Okay, um, carbide gauntlets. Jeez, Louise. I want that. We're going to take the hand axe just because we need to get some blood. Let's get... Man, what is all this stuff? Can we sell... super duper want to sell anything just to get an artifact that I have no idea what it could be right this is it's only one pound unarmed attacks performed cause bleeding okay that's that's that be very, very useful to us, wouldn't it? Let's start with the hand axe, and then find the oddly, hey, we just got an achievement, find the all the huge globe, uh, globe pad. I've never seen that before. Uh, that's fantastic. Okay. I'm glad I thought to, uh, to check out what was happening there. So now we need something that bleeds. I bet you one of these wet glowfish will. Maybe they won't. They're wet, aren't they? Yeah, right, right, right. Okay, let's go up a map and see. There we go. That's the stuff right there. Okay, we're going to switch to a hand axe so that we're not just bonkin. Let's slam. There's some blood. That's what we wanted. Fantastic. Collect. We are going to keep cutting him up. And we're going to collect that as well. and one dram of salty blood okay so now we can go to the shrine and we can desecrate it with blood perfect okay let's put this back on so that the other The other mace is one average point better than what we're using, but it doesn't, it's not a big deal. A bunch of dong gliders. Man, those guys suck. Let's see if the Isshar Raiders manage to... No, they're just going to come after me. A bunch of morons. Um, okay. Grab that. Uh huh, okay. Uh-huh, okay. We're still lost, though. Okay. Is there anybody else that's going to be coming up? Nope. Good. That fucking dog letter. Okay. Pop down now. Yeah, he still roasted me. I was really hoping that wouldn't happen. These guys are absolutely... It is absolutely possible to have your run end just because of these. And ours might here. This might be it. Yep, that's it. All right. Well, hey, we got the level 5. We had a score of 12,000. Not bad. Shade oil, of course, was the best item in our possession. That's not bad. Not bad at all. Well, thank you for joining me for today's daily Caves of Cud run. Had a lot of fun with that one. That one was quite fun. It would have been nice to have a chrome revolver so that we could make those finger flexes flex, but, you know, that's how it is sometimes. So until next time, as always, happy gaming.
