Hello, hello, it's Oblivion Cube, and we are back for Giveska Daily Day 177, 2026. We get a priest of all sons, true kin, humanoid with transloose and skin. Decent stats spread, really high intelligence, which I personally always like. Getting that extra bit of skill points is always useful. Let's see where we end up. TikTok, we have the... Head Exploding Collar Mod, so our run will end dramatically in an hour if we do not end up dying before then. That is the only mod I use so far. I'm sure there are lots of nice ones, but I like my Caves of Cud, just kind of the way it is. See, we got a lot of honeybee hives. It looks like, I believe that's what these are, right? No, they're dressers. Why did I target that? Untarget. All right, let's take a look at us. We've got a couple of people sleeping. It is close to sunrise. Who is going to have quests for us? So probably, I think probably the elder and the legendary. Farmer, let's check. Is there worker out here? Kyushris to the east, or Maru Shuru to the southeast? Ah, okay. Let's take a look at who likes them and dislikes them. Antelopes don't like them very much. That's okay. Yes, we will absolutely take wayfifering. That's super valuable. Okay. So the legendary apple farmer and the village tinker today is who has quest for us. We're going to wake him up. And I'm looking for work. Listen, Adventure, I have a project for you. A short while ago, I ascertained that the Beesore asteroid is home to a hill-shubbery communications interlocking implant. The slake my greed, I am in need of it. Okay. Roaming around idly is no way to give thanks to Hill Shrew, legendary globead. Okay, cool. Let's see. He is lying on a bedroll again. Do you have anything to trade? Not really. Okay, and then we're gonna talk to the tinker. It was right here, fantastic. Get up. I'm looking for work. Friend, I have a secret stratagem, and it's a, I'm in acting. Need someone to go to a Snapjaw Fort and drink from the Hilcherebeak glass bottle there. Can't tell me why. Hmm, okay. Sure, I'll go drink from Mysterious glass bottle. Let's talk to you. And, let's see here. So we have wooden arrows to start with, that means we've got a bow equipped. Let's see, we don't need nine torches. We never, never, ever, ever need nine torches. Let's get rid of some of those. How much, we've got 94 drams on us right now. That's pretty good. I think we'll keep... Pretty much everything else, and we'll just accept the trade. Okay, let's see here. I didn't even look. We've got a rebuke war robot, intimidate, menacing stare, we do have our bow. What else have we got? So we've got a smiling sun mask? Yeah. Scarlet Shawl, got a gas grenade. We are conkin and bonkin today. Okay, cool. Let's see. So we do have Kledgel proficiency this time to begin with. That's great. We've got staunch wounds and nostromes. Getting proselytized will be really, really good. Everything else here is looking pretty great, quite honestly. This is a good starting, I think. So, let's pop up. Let's take a look around and see. Okay, so this is the easy one. and this is the one where we're going to have to kill a bunch of snapjaws. So let's pop over here. We're going to drop down, of course, at the ruins of Chopa, get our Reschaf lore, grab that scratched disc. Let's take a peek down here, just to see something just went out. Interesting. If I just wait a couple turns. Yeah, snapjaw. Come here. We'll take that, and what we'll do is... Yeah, you know what, that is actually straight up better, in this case. That's a droid scrambler. I don't really think we need that too much, but it's okay. Let's rest up, and then go back down to where that fire is. Now, there's a bunch of slime here on the ground, so probably we can find a giant amoeba here somewhere. But that's it. This is a weapon rack that I saw. Perfect. Yep, we're equipping that, for sure. Because I believe that there's a straight-up upgrade. There's a seat-spitting vine. I don't care to tangle with that right now. Ow. Okay, we're going to pop back up. And... I think that's pretty much everything that we have here. Now, I just want to double check that this is, in fact, an upgrade. This has 3D2, the Abertip staff is better than the steel. That's good to know. And I always forget, what does translucent skin do? To dodge value, okay. Alright, that's cool. Okay, we're going to pop up and down. Now that is our quest chest right there. What we can do, intimidate is a distance. Nope, intimidate is not a distance one. Okay, oh, that's fine. We're going to shoot this guy a couple times. Okay. that. We've got a couple levels immediately from that. That's great. There we go. Okay, well, let's turn this in. There's no path down, right? What is going on there? Something is... Is it raining? Okay, and where is our home village, that's this, right? Yeah. Okay, should we go straight back to the home village and get an extra level, uh, or not? It's our way dad. It's not too bad. Let's get... Um, I want to go to skills here. I think we're going to get bludgeon. because that just makes sense. And then I think we'll probably put a point into strength here, or a tribute point into strength. We will get another, I think we get one to everything at level 10, maybe, forget. I'll have to look that up. Or just pay attention when it happens. Okay, which one of you guys take? Get back here. Okay, not you, okay, so it was the other guy, it was you. There you go. Level four, and, oh, portable beehive, a carbide longsword, or advertisement for a legendary gunsmith, a legendary gutsmonger, and a legendary hatter. Now, if I can get to each of these locations, we'll get a massive amount of XP. kind of immediately. I don't know that I'll be able to get to all of them. Carboard LiveSword doesn't do anything for us, but let's just go with that, yeah. But it's probably, probably makes the most sense. West of the ruins of Java, that is fantastic, that's going to be easy to get to. Two parasites north of Eid Freehold. Yeah, that's not going to be easy to get to. Two pair of Sings North of Kyukia. I don't know where that is. Okay, we're going to talk to the Dromid and do rid of some of the stuff. Now that we've seen this, I don't think we need them anymore. Now that we've read them and we can't turn these in as books. I know they say that they're books, I don't think we can actually turn them in. We're going to get rid of that. I don't need the... Ah, yeah, okay. You know what, we'll keep that for now. I'm pretty sure that I'll get a separate data disk from this village, but that's okay, that's okay. Let's see here. So we're trading in 140 drams. Let's grab this feathered wooden buckler. It's going to give us rep with, what's my call it, birds. We'll also grab that. It's going to drop our weight. We still have 90. So let's also grab whatever this trinket is. There we go. Okay. So, let's look at this. A compass bracelet. Yeah, absolutely. Equip that. Nope, put it on this one. For whatever reason, I don't like to have my buckler on the same arm as my main weapon. That's just a me thing, probably. It doesn't actually make any difference. Okay, um, we need to eat, actually, back down. Clay oven, we'll eat some free food, whatever it is. Yuckwheat stuffed meat roast, awesome. Okay, now let's pop up. Okay. Come here, crocodile. I got, I did get bludgeon, right? Bludgeon isn't... Yeah, okay, yeah, it's just gonna give me days. Perfect. Do I have more SP? Yeah, I do. So we definitely need that extra strength, but let's save for proselytize, I think. So that's gonna be good for us. We know that we're basically in the right direction if we just keep heading north. So until we learn our location, we'll just keep heading north. We'll kill these guys as we get to them. Okay, so this is, we're closing in on the snapshot fort here. We're going to let these guys waste a bunch of arrows. I think when I kill this guy, he's going to make, pretty sure this guy is going to make these guys hostile to us. That's okay, though. It's not that big of a deal. Okay, we dazed him. That's good. Let's menacing stare. Let's beat him down. We are getting surrounded, and I don't like that. I don't like the... Oh, I accidentally shot the dog. Darn it? Let me do that. We're going to intimidate this guy, and then shoot him as he runs away. Um... Okay. This is not a great spot to be in. What we're going to do is eat a witchwood bark. Now, are you fresh? Are you a brand new one? No, you are wounded. What about you? You are injured. I don't know who to prioritize here. Is this guy? Nope, and we died. Darn it. That did not go very well. So, dang, I thought that was going to be a... I thought that was going to be a good one. That's okay. We will take a look at the record. I seem to have broken this. Yeah, there's an error. Is this just me that is having a trouble with the leaderboard? Or is that something that got updated? That's my question. All right, anyway, thanks for hanging out. Thanks for watching. We died a little bit early today. That happens. When you get surrounded by, especially two tanky monsters, it can get a... bit dicey. What I could have done to save myself there is I could have gone ahead and used the shade, what is it, the shade oil that I got by default so that I could have, like, phased through them. I probably should have done that, but, you know, live and learn in the caves of cut. Until the next time, thank you for hanging out, and happy gaming.
