Hello, hello, let's jump right into Caves of Cud Daily. It's a play being cubed here, and we're going to try and survive a little bit better than we did yesterday. So we've got low strength, high agility, high willpower. Pretty baseline, everything else, not bad. So we've got a Truken with stabilizer arm locks, and let's see what we get. Where do we start? Ah, okay, Rusty Tavu. Is our starting a village? Cool. I like our sprite on this one. I like this guy. Yeah, you don't have anything to trade. Did you just, that worm of the earth, did it just, like, multiply? Let's see, so you are a warden, you're only loved and admired, nothing hates you, so we'll take that. Now this guy is a cromling. So this is our tinker, symbiotic firefly. That would be nice if we had almost a thousand drams of water, but we don't, of course. So let's auto explore, take a quick look around. So we've got some village history, village history, no, sorry, that was Sultan history, yeah. There's more Sultan history, a lot of painted things in this village. That's our dromid there. And yeah, let's see here, so who might have quests? This guy, probably. Let's take a look at him. Disliked by unshelled reptiles. Well, yeah, that's fine. Harvestry. I don't really want that. I don't think. We could make him come with us. I don't think we're going to do that, though. Let's just see. Locate a small pig farm. That's always easy. That's a great quest again. What is that? Maybe I shouldn't do that. Okay, let's see, so we've got wooden arrows on us, that implies that we have a bow to start with. Let's grab a couple more arrows, I guess. Let's grab all of the... Let's just grab all the ammo. It's free. It doesn't cost us very much. It's not free, I mean, it's three drams, but it doesn't cost us very much at all. Let's sell some of these. Sell half of them. Perfect. Yeah, so we've got a scarlet shawl, some croccasins. Yeah, and we've got an Abertip staff. That plus to hit is great. Smiling Sun Mask. We could probably get rid of that, but we'll keep it on us for right now. Yeah, look at all these. That's insane. Just keep multiplying. Okay, who else will have a... quest for us, this guy maybe? Oh, we just talked to him, didn't we? Yeah. Uh, the apothecary. Okay. Uh, roaming gladiators came to our village while breaking bread, they spoke of an interesting place, Kapad, but they wouldn't reveal the location. It's located somewhere between 3 and 7 Parasang's west of Darshala. Okay, so that's going to give us a location. Which one are you? Okay, so 7 Parasangs west, it's going to be somewhere along here that we find it. That's not too bad. So what we'll do is we'll come up here, we'll pop down, and this is the ruins of Jopha. Jopha. We'll get the Scrash Datadisk and the droid recoiler. And some Rescheflore, if we look at that, if we look at that Sultan statue. There we go. So this is going to be... Droid Scrambler, and then we've got the Scratch Data Disc right here. Perfect. Um, okay, pop up again. Um, we don't need to go to Red Rock. We can just come straight up to, to, I was gonna say we can go straight up to that, but, um, oh, don't like that very much. Okay, and we have a... have a cannibal. All right, level two, that's great. So we've got cudgel proficiency, staunch wounds, and nostrums. Okay. For you and your companions at a campfire, okay, that's decent, menacing stare, intimidate, and we have steak oil, that's excellent. A little bit more, we have wilderness lore of jungles. automatically, but if we can get, ah, we don't have enough for assault dunes, that's okay. If we increase our intelligence when we level up, I think, once or twice more, then we'll be able to get that. Yeah, okay. Not bad, not bad at all. Okay, we'll just auto-explore here. A couple more of these guys. That's too many things. all at once. I don't love that. Let's try to intimidate. Kill this guy. Okay. Alright, that's decent. That guy's gonna come in and try and kill him as well. Alright, level 3, that gives us our attribute point. We may as well grab the 19 Incheligence and get ourselves salt dunes, because we are going to be going into the salt dunes right away. There we go, okay. Let's talk to this guy, because it will... Oh, you know what, an iron buckler, that's actually pretty good. We could sell one of our cam cells and get that pretty easily. Realistically, we're probably not going to get to Gridgate in the hour that we have before our head explodes. So we may as well sell the droid scrambler as well. It's not going to make a lot of difference for this current playthrough. We'll put that on and then there are hostiles nearby, okay? Right, shoot this. Great, this. stupid guy is going to be a little bit of a pain but thankfully that other guy is taking most of its agro so yeah we managed to pull that off we can come up now and then we can drop down on whatever this is I don't know if this is a ruin or a village it is a village Maybe not, maybe this is a ruin. Oh, that's... Awesome. Okay. What does this do? On Activation, this item obliterates all nearby members of a faction chosen from among those that existed during the time of the Sultanate. Uh... Okay. That is amazing that we got that. That is a really cool little relic. Okay, and then a few pair of things, west. Sure, we'll investigate that. These are just random ruins. There is probably a becoming nook over here, because usually if you see glass, there's typically something, something like that. An amoeba farmer. Ah, so this place is not hostile. I spoke too soon. Hmm. Let's shoot this guy, let's menacing stare. No, don't, uh, okay. That's all right, okay. Uh, it's just a... Yeah, okay, let's get up here quickly, and take out... Oh, man. Okay, we're going to eat the wishwood, and then we're going to kill this guy, and then bust this egg, because that is a big pain in the butt. I forgot to look at what our arm stabilizes do, because I forget, I play these guys so rarely. Accuracy with ranged attacks. Okay. Okay, cool. So what we want then next is absolutely to get Bowen Rifle for right now, is that's what we have equipped. Alright, that will hopefully help us a little bit. There's hostiles nearby, so we can't get this up the way. Can't eat, but it's okay, we'll just... Historic site. Ooh, I don't like that very much at all. We're gonna... That's not what I meant to do. I meant to click this. We'll mark target as well. And we'll try and... Ow! Okay, take that stab ejector. Let's see if we kill him before we die. Oh, we did. Okay, that's fun. Okay, Skari Raider. Okay, he hits decently hard, but not too bad. Got another little spider guy there. Yeah, there's our becoming nook, so that's great. Is there anything in that table? Yeah, we'll get some beef jerky. I'll take both of those. Nothing in that. And let's see what we get here. All graphic visage. Okay, and inflatable accents. Okay. Welcome aristocrat. So, we don't have any... credits, but when we do get some, we can come back here, we can upgrade our license, and then we can install some new cybernetics. Let's call us 6. That's insane. What does it do? Because I did not look at that. Plus 200 rep with a faction you choose when you install this implant. Well, that's pretty good. You can activate it to change the chosen faction. Okay, so on a long play, this would be somewhat decent, even if you had to just put it on and then take it off randomly. Nope, that's not what I meant to do. Okay. We'll keep exploring this place. It doesn't look like there's anyone too terribly dangerous here. Come on, I would like to be able to actually shoot decently. Let's intimidate. That's sprint, that's not intimidate. It's intimidate and then kill him. In Sultan lore, and plus 55 rep with the sect of the Jewelborn, if we ever need that. Okay, that guy wasn't a problem, but this dang crab is. I'll try to intimidate it. And, messing stare. We'll just leave. I don't really want to deal with that at all. Yes, we'll investigate these ruins as well. Stare we down, there's some sort of boots sitting there. Oh, Glowsphere. Uh, yeah, okay. Replace the torch, 100%. Okay, what are these boots now? There's just leather boots that are just sitting here. I wonder if this is a layer. It doesn't seem to be anyone jumping out at me as being super, super annoying so far. But I don't think I really want to be down here. We're going to pop back up, and then we're going to continue. Okay, yeah. I don't love that. So we're going to... Oh, there's a donglider there too. Can I come up? Yes, I can. Okay. Uh, what time is it? It's not the time that I would like it to be. And we're famished. Okay. Whiff up the meal? Um, I do... very much want to wait until morning. Because I want to be able to see dog gliders before they decide to cook me, if at all possible. And so far, yeah, there's nothing that we have to worry about yet. So that's nice. Yeah, we'll take all of that. Why not? Now's our water. We've still got 72 grams of water. That's pretty good. And what are our skills? Let's see here. That might be good. Each penetration shot, target bleeds one point per round. That's also pretty decent. Okay, sure fire could be pretty useful. I think they'll take wounding fire for right now. I don't know if that's a good choice or not, but that's what we're going to do. Yeah, whoa. Lavaweed. Yeah, okay. I don't think I'm going to stay here on this map. There's something else. There's a different type of weep here. There's a sap weep right here as well. And what is this? Let's take a look. Rescheflore. Always good to have. Yeah, I think we're just going to pop back up to the main map here. We are lost. It's not that big of a deal. We're just going to continue east. Legendary Dragonfly layer. That should be okay. I think we'll just continue. They're not hostile to us. So we should be able to just kind of ignore them. Giant amoebas. continue this way, and we finally regain our bearings. Okay, now it said, we're supposed to find Capad, located 3 to 7 parisines west of... So, I mean, we should be able to just head west, and we should find it. I don't know why we didn't. That guy's going to die well before we have to... Oh, I guess not. I thought for sure it would die before we had to deal with it. The auto-pathing right now is chugging along. Something was making it take a bit. I'll just wade through the salt. Hey. Cool. Okay, let's wait until morning again. And then we will wait 20 turns to let it actually fully become morning. There are dying dawn gliders. There's just one, though. Do we want to risk it? I mean, preferably not. Come down, go over, and then come back up. Scorpioch. Scorpio, it's not great, but I'm not actually too worried about it. Pressing the button too fast, and it thinks that I'm trying to hold the button. You toss an Ascari Raiders right arm, a dash of dromed dandert, and an Ascari Raider's right arm into the pot and stir. I just ate people. I'm not super comfortable with that. Okay, so this is going to be next to the location that we want. What are these? Aliporta. Do you do anything? Yeah, you port me around. There we go. Okay. Let's look at this. A nice little painting. What is this? A painted tree cubicle tent. Village history. Okay, we'll just auto-explore. Uh, nowhere else to explore from here. Because... Of course, we're in a bad place. We'll explore from here, and it will be better. I want to come here and eat whatever is in there. Oh, if I do that, it might give me spines, and then I would drop my armor. I don't really want that. Cries upon the sun will give us a new job. And, yeah, that was kind of it, eh? Let's talk to the warden as well, and just see. Yeah, okay, he doesn't have any rep that we can gain. It's okay. What is in this? Nothing. Okay. All right, we'll talk to cries upon the sun. Oh, okay. Okay, we know where that is. So we should be able to get that. They're not hostile to us. So that should be okay. I think that's a reasonable thing to try for. Let's go back to the village. And who was it that gave us the quest to find that? Was it the apothecary? Yes. Okay. Here we go. So we've got our recoiler. We'll name it. Yabas. Yep, cool, thermal coloring. We'll take that quest. And let's talk the Dromid. Okay, we don't want to sell any of our books, of course, because they are worth way more than anything else. This compound bow... is definitely better than what I have. Let's see here. I don't need any of that. Is this the one that lets me phase out? Yeah, I don't particularly like those most of the time. So if I sell one, that puts us basically at where we need to be to purchase that. We'll sell him our short bow, because we definitely don't need it. I should have sold the ChemSel instead of what I did sell. Ah, that's okay, not a big deal. We will grab more... Yeah, I guess the next best arrows are these ones. Perfect. recoil I want back here, sprint I want back here as well. Yeah, okay, I think that's decent. Let's try for that, which one was the legendary dragonfly was here. Let's pop up here, and let's see if we can find, we'll just auto explore here, and see if we can find that quest item, because if we can grab that and then just pop back to that village and get a little bit more XP, that'll be great. Yeah, I can't. There we go. I'm wasting my steel arrows, and I shouldn't. I should waste my wooden arrows for things like that. Okay, there was nothing there, so we do have to go to the stairs down to find that quest item. But that, I think, should be okay. I don't think that they'll be... I don't think that they will be automatically hostile to us. We will pour this into a different container. And then what we'll do is we'll tell this to auto-collect, as we can sell wine for a decent amount of money. Oh, a salt hopper. Not great. Okay, yeah. We'll apply our SAV injector. We died. Brutal. Yeah, 14,000 points, sorry. Our most advanced artifact was a shade oil injector. I don't agree with that. I think that the legendary thing that we were carrying around was our... was our most advanced artifact, but who am I to disagree, I guess? Level 6, we did all right, all things considered. Let's take a look at the Bailey Leaderboard 3. Wow, that's amazing. That's going to go down for sure. But everybody is in the positives today. That's really good to see. And, yeah, that's a fun little start. I liked that. That was a good little run. As always, thanks for hanging out, thanks for watching. And if you try today's daily or a different daily comment on how you did. I always like seeing that and hearing, you know, other Caves of Cut tales. As always, happy gaming, and we'll see you next time.
