Caves of Qud Daily 2026-09-08 by @oblivioncubed on 3Speak
We're playing cavesofqud daily! Today's build is a Truekin rocking a chrome pistol, but with a low (16) AGI score so it's a mixed bag for starting equipment and skills. There's some juice here, but...

Hello, hello, welcome back to Caves of Cud Daily. Now I've been terrible at doing these dailies daily, but we're going to try and get back into this. School has started, and the kids are not constantly at my house, so hopefully, hopefully we can get back to this. So what do we got today? We have a eunuch, a tru-can, a humanoid, we've got penticeps on his feet. decent intelligence, decent toughness, decent willpower, this is a fairly solid character to start with, as far as true can go. A little bit of extra strength would be nice, but we're not actually in the negative for anything, so I can't complain about that. We are in the village of Degamore, and we are going to do a quick search of the village. Some, what is this? Sultan lore. Perfect, okay. An interesting little village built right into the side of what exactly. What is this? Foamcrete. Cool. What is that? Just sitting there. What I mean, there's nothing to take? Did I already take the weird artifact? Let's see. I didn't. So what? What do you mean? Just a second here. An acid gas mine. Ah, okay, okay. Cool, yeah, we're just going to leave that alone. We're just going to not play with that, I think. What do we have here? We've got the Mechanist Convert. We will talk to him. We will make the journey. All right. We're not using a torch, apparently. We've got a dagger and a walking stick. We're going to just take the dagger. And let's see here. So we have a legendary leech. the German merchant, and the mayor. So probably the mayor and the leech are going to have our quest today. Let's find out. No. Who is that? Okay, to the northwest, and Ila to the east. Where is... There's Ela? Mera. Mureshachat. This guy, the mayor. Okay. One drum of acid to begin the water ritual, isn't that interesting? Okay, well, we're going to go find that location. The other is the tinker, so I was completely wrong on my guess there. Find the erudin-like corpse, as you ask. Okay, sure. Goatfolk Village, so probably we're not going to do that. At least not quickly. Let me get rid of this walking stick, we don't care about it. We do need torches, but I don't think we need that many. Let's get rid of, I don't know, seven of them. Let's get rid of half of them. Yes, yeah. Okay, let's pop up. Take a look at where we are. So we are way down here. This is one of our locations, is that goat folk village, and the other is that. So this is actually, you know, maybe we could do that. Should we try? Do have a chrome revolver, right? Is that what we've got? Yeah, chrome revolver. I feel scared. Going into the jungle is scary. Okay, let's pop to this GoFolk Village and see if they're immediately mad at us. Nobody here so far. Yeah, okay, they are. We are not... Yeah, they're very tough. They got carbide stuff. We're going to get nuked if we stay here. So let's pop up. Let's come back into the hills. Come back to this one. Now this one is, just a second, let's take a look at our quest here. Return, to Degamar and speak with Eli, okay, so this one, crushed Grave Moss to Degamore and speak with, and speak with, okay, so it just must be, At a snapdaw fort, yeah, okay. All right, okay, we're going to go... Come over here first. We're going to explore this village, grab our stuff. Yeah, we'll take that, why not? Get some Rush F lore. Let me go up, get our other bit of lore for a historic site, and I don't really want to... I'm not sure that I really want to tackle this without having a level. One level would be amazing. Okay, let's see if we can shoot this guy without shooting the flying dudes. Oh my gosh. And of course we shot the Dragonfly. The guy that we weren't trying to hit, of course we shot. Okay, we're going to reload. kill these guys. We're gonna die to dragonflies. Oh, jeepers. Okay, sprint. We're gonna sprint. We get the heck out of here. Let's keep sprinting north. Oh, boy. Okay, let's see here. I think we can probably lose them. Sorry, I'm trying to press the hold the button, and I shouldn't be. Can I come up? No, I'm still lost. Of course, I'm still lost as well. Okay, come back down. We have over here that, just one of those guys. Okay, there we go. We recognize this area. We can come back up. This does show exactly what I'm talking about, though. I don't know that I really want to deal with a full snapshot for it, but, you know what, let's try it. What's the worst thing can happen? We die in 10 minutes. Not bad. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, not bad at all. Okay. That guy's trying to shoot me. I betcha I could hobble this guy, hey? Don't even need to. Oh, no, need to reload. I forgot about that. Okay, let's reload again. What do we have here? So we've got some wooden arrows and a battle axe. We'll take them. Let's try. Aha. Yeah, okay. Oh, boy. Being pinned between these two is not ideal. So let's hobble this guy. Yeah, yeah, of course my health has dropped. Uh, that's gonna be fine, it's fine, right? Um, let's go with a salve injector. It does waste our self-injector, um, but I think that's probably fine. Take a step back and shoot these guys. Okay. Yeah. Tough, tough, tough. Can I throw this here? Yes. Good. Okay. That's perfect. We will... You know what, we'll equip those. We will take that, and we'll take this as well. I think we'll probably equip this as well. What do we have on our head right now? Nothing, yeah, we'll take that. Okay, let's just wait a tiny bit. Drop a campfire, we can't. Is there our hostiles nearby? Okay. We could get a short bow. Let's see, bark armor, what do we have right now? Probably a clotherope, yeah. We'll take that, we'll take this, and why not? We'll take the short bone in case we run out of bullets. Okay, we're going to reload, we're going to hobble this guy, bubble, and then come down, get some distance, shoot him, shoot him, shoot him. There we go. Okay, we'll definitely take that steel dagger. Is that better than what we have right now? No, we have a steel dagger. Okay. What did these have? Did they have anything interesting? Oh, okay. That's not at all what I meant to do. I didn't mean to take the chest. I meant to open the chest. Press G instead. We're going to drop that. Now we're going to open it. We're going to take that. Oof, yeah, name it random one. Let's go with that. Perfect. And no, now we want to take this. Okay, now let's... look around the rest of this place. Yeah, that's probably fine, right? We'll hobble him just in case, but I think we're still okay here. All right, reload now. I'll take it all. Why not? Okay, there we go. Not too bad. Not great. Let's see. Let's eat some witchwood. That's okay, that the pig is right over here. Not a big deal. You know that this guy is one down from us, right? just sprint. Ah, sprint this way. We've discovered a settlement. Okay. We will hopefully get the chance to heal up here, and we did, fantastic. And now for lucky, the Apple Farmer here will have something that we can... Hey, let me buy something from you, please. we don't need this, don't really need that. The axe I would definitely like to keep. The Warhammer, probably don't need that, or this. Let's grab the Copper Nugget. because trade goods are always handy, and we'll let them pony up a little bit more water for us. Yeah, in fact, you know what, let's get rid of this other steel dagger, the club, and the bronze battle axe. We'll keep this so we can speck into that in a minute, but we'll get a little bit of extra water. We're really low on water right now, so yeah, that's perfect, okay. We're going to come back up here, pop back down to the village. Oh, of course we're lost. Do dragonflies just always hate me? No, okay, they don't. Oh, it's a salt hopper. And a bunch of dragonflies. So, we can't shoot reliably. We only have four shots. What are we going to do about this? We do have a short bow and six arrows. That's not much. I mean into confusion, see into the future. I don't think I really want to do that. Okay, the slugs note is unhappy with me, but that's fine. I think we got this. We're just going to come south. Try not to worry about all those extra guys. Oh, snapjaw, okay. Can you give me some space? Could you do that? Okay, how is our skills? What skills do we have right now? So we've got steady hand weak spotter. That's good if we could freaking aim, we would be doing great, but we can't aim for anything. Can we, we could get axe. We don't have the strength for any of the useful axe things, though. And we're a long ways from that on a daily run. So, yeah, what's our best bet here? Charge wouldn't be terrible. It's not great with just a short blade, though. Very much feels like we should. I probably should have put that into agility. You know what? Oh, well, didn't do with that. So, oh, hey, you're fun. Two-headed bore. Okay. Let's see. We have no more ammo at all. Get, come back into here. Okay, let's put this on, and we'll reload it. We will try to shoot the pig. We will hobble it. Okay, come on up. Try to shoot it again. That's it. Okay. Come on, pig, one v1 me. Let's go. There we go. Oh, that was close. Closer than I would have liked. Okay, let's, hey, what's up? All right, we've regained our bearings, that's good. Come back down to the village. I'm going to speak with our... That was the mayor that we were doing this one for, right? Yeah, there we go. So we found that for you. We get a recoiler. Good, good, good. Yeah, sure, we'll go talk to the Barathamites. Let's come up. We're level four, we are hungry. We do have 23 water. We're not ready for Great Kate yet. Let's see if we can get to the stilt without dying. This does not bode well. Okay, we're going to come along the edges. Let's see. Okay, perfect. We've run out of water. Ah, darn it. No, we don't want to. Can we make it into the silt? Oh, we're lost. Okay, that's okay, right? Straight north, that is a dawn glider. Just over there. That I don't love. We're going to try and not get cooked. Yeah, I know I'm dying of thirst. Thank you. We have made it to the stills. Okay, we need to talk to somebody to get us some water. Pronto. You. Give me... Give me stuff. Let's get rid of... at least one of those. The Chrome Revolver, we really do want to keep. The cam cell, though, we'll get rid of that. Don't eat that. And you know what, Steel Bad Alex isn't going to help us right now. So, there we go. 50 drums of water. That will keep us from dying. We like that. Okay. Let's see. Is there a campfire anywhere near here? There is. I'm going to whip up a meal. That was a close one. Yeah, that was, that was fun. Brides made of Koss. Let's see. Eh, I don't care if the Gersh like me. That's fine. What is that, I wonder. Hmm. Two pounds. Okay. We're going to share a secret, the only one we know. Actually, you know what, always, always, inside this tent, there's another secret that you can learn if you just look at it. Sometimes you'll already know it, but sometimes you won't. So now we get two that we get to... Get to earn level 6. That's great. We're going to water ritual with them, no matter what. I don't care if it's good or not. And then we're going to come up and let's talk to our bookseller as a gunslinger this time. Nice. A beetle farmer, not a gunslinger. A beetle farmer and a librarian. I have no books. That's sad. I forgot that. Yeah, of course I don't have any books. I offer odd trinkets to the hole. There you go. I almost never actually throw the thing that they gave me into the well. Almost never. Yeah, so we should be just outside the stilt right now. Yeah, there it is. Nice, another historic site, like that. I'm not going to bother with doing a lot of stuff here right now, because it is just a... Daily Run. So what are these? Slimy Ashfaults. Okay, yeah, that makes sense. We do have a slime up there. What I should have done is bought some bullets, because this bow and arrow sucks. Take down this Miba. And then let's go back to the stilt, yeah, and get ourselves some... Okay, yeah, you're not useful to me. get ourselves some bullets, so let's auto-explore here. Another grenadier, and what are you, a kipper? No, not a grenadier, an apple farmer, and a kippler. That looks like a grenade to me. I guess I can see how it's not a grenade. But that does look like a grenade to me. What kind of iker do you have? Just out of curiosity, I can't. buy anything. Another Sultan history, cool. Like that, and yeah, let's go up this way. Whoa, hey, you guys are making friends. What is going on here? So the warden is fighting two. Is it you? I'm so confused. I'm just going to stand back and watch what's happening here. Warden Esther slams into a moom with their carbide shield. A moom is knocked down. A moom heals a bunch. Flings quills. Warden Esther is just absolutely destroying this person. That warden has temporal feud probably, hey? Must, yeah, because that's interesting. I don't think she, he, I don't know what warden is, I don't think they usually have temporal fugue. Okay. That's a nice dead person. That's going to be a pile of stuff. And I want it. Fullerite. Oh, man, that is brilliant. Okay. Yeah, we're going to take that for sure. And a two-handed fullerite longsword. We are absolutely going to equip that. That's better. Hmm, should we? Yeah, let's wear the fangs. Why not? Okay, well, that's fun. We don't have light now. Now, that's a problem. It means we either have to just move by day, or we need to find a way to make that not suck. Okay, what is this? A freezing cry steel dagger. You know what, actually. We'll just keep this on us. We'll use that. We're going to take this. That means we can still keep our torch going. Named bark armor. Yeah, okay. Sweet. Okay, that's decent. Right, that's all pretty decent. Okay, let's go over here. Whip up a meal first and then go over here. I just want bullets, guys. I just want bullets. None of you guys are going to give me bullets, are you? There's a lot of people right here. Another grenadier, they do not have what I need. What is that? A dream wren. A long and split-tail feathered drapes below her talons and an immaterial buoyancy. Her epaulets are incandescent, and her frill is a vein for astral weather. Cool. Okay. Yeah, impossible. That does not surprise me. I don't think I've ever seen one of those guys before. What are you? Yeah, you're just the gold herder. Okay, come on, one of you guys have got to have bullets for me, right? How many grenadiers are there going to be at this place? I don't think anyone needs this many grenades. That's, that's just a bad time waiting to happen. Snail Farmer, wow, what an absolutely useless for my particular needs, stilt this is. Okay, well then, let's pop to... I mean, we could try GridGate, let's go for it. We're probably going to die here. Hmm, lost in the flower fields. That's not great. Maybe it's not terrible. What are you? Shrine to Gersh Kwan. We'll pray to Gersh Kwan. A grave buckler. Sure, we'll take that. We'll look at it first. More rep with Sultan Cults. We'll equip that, and we'll take, yeah, all of that. You know what, take all of that. You are a bear. A bear and a flying thing. What are you? Juice out. Nope, don't want that. Nope, getting out here. We're really, really rather not. Oh, boy. Okay. Yeah, cool. This is bad. Oh, oh, that's bad. Okay, we've got one bullet exactly. Let's hobble him. Okay, we did manage to get some XP from that. The skunk is... Oh, shoot. Um, okay. Haberdasher and Kuzuzzi symbiate. And what are you? Arkanaut and Kudzu symbiate. What's a bad day to be me? We're going to come down here. Let's try our best to not die. Oh, shoot. Servant of foe and Akatsu Simmon. Ah, darn it. We are so humped. Okay, let's hobble him and get the heck out of here. Okay, he's going to fight those. That's good. We like that. We're going to get shot. Oh, geez. Okay. Burl's a channel into my mind. We're also going to get attacked by a horse. This is going to be it for us, I think. I really, really think so. Do we have anything that can let us go out with a bang? Let's apply our hulk honey just because we can eat our witchwood bark. That's okay. You know what? It's fine. We're going to, yeah, we're going to get killed by a unicorn. Or a horse, whatever. I prefer to be killed by a unicorn. That's a better story. We did get 10,000 points today. Not bad at all. We just got really, really unlucky coming into the flower forest there. Have we not gotten lost right there? It probably would have been... or at least not terrible. Damn, solid bones, good job. Yeah, we're fourth right now, that's probably going to change. But, yeah, fun one, fun one today. I like that. Thanks for hanging out. Thanks for watching. And as always, until next time, happy gaming.
