Hello, welcome back. We are going through another Caves of Cud daily for day 146 of 2026. I'm Oblivion Cubed, and this is what we've been doing lately. What do we have? Water Merchant, Mutate, and multiple arms, precognition, Seifim, Frill, cool. Yeah, all right. We've got really good ego. I'm going to guess that that pairs with water merchant really well. So we'll be able to sell things really well. Our strength, agility, toughness, and int to leave a little bit to be desired. But, hey, that's okay. We're going to see how far we can get. Marimonde and tarpools. Okay, cool, yeah, there's tarpools all over the place I can see. Speak to this guy. Ah, he's got... He's an oil-based warden, a cromling. He's got nothing to trade, sure. Just like by roots and hated by the villagers of Narcumrod. Okay. Let's eat whatever is in this engraved clay oven. Cool, okay. And then let's look at it, because, of course, it is, yeah, it is, uh, this has something to do beyond the Gulf of Time, the first day of summer, Schwumid founded Merrimock with a sleep gas grenade mark one in each hand. We're known as the people of the sleep gas grenade, Mark 1. Okay, the people of the sleepy ass grenade, Mark 1, live in this village, so... That's fun, tarpools, and not that terribly many houses, yeah, it's stuck in there, of course, that's the way it goes, um... Is there anything else interesting in this location? Let's talk to the merchant. Get rid of that, and we'll keep those. We definitely don't need 12 torches, that's more than we need for sure. Let's get rid of them. Just starting with an elastine skin suit is, that's an interesting one. Looks like we've got wooden arrows on us by default, so we must have a bow. Must have a bow automatically equipped. Let me actually just cancel out of this and take a look at our equipment. So what do we have? We don't have a bow. We have a... bronze dagger, and we have a torch. We don't have any other weapons. What do we have on our face? A frill. Okay, right. Okay, okay, cool. Lackard Mok sends. And just a normal woven tunic. Yep, so that tells me that what we're going to do is, let's grab this bow. We'll just add that to the trade. Press that wrong, apparently. They don't have other... short blades. That's okay though, I guess. What we'll do is, let's see, let's grab this carbide battle axe, some lead slugs, and then we'll just grab some arrows. Now, we still are well over what we need. I don't really want long swords. I don't like the muskets, so I don't really want that. I'd rather use a bow if I'm going to use something like that. I guess what we can do is grab some of that. We'll just grab some extra water skins to bring the trade value closer. They'll pony up seven. Not bad, okay. Put this on. or upper left hand, so it's an offhand weapon. We might switch that if we can get Axprov, right, and if we can get dismembered. Dismember would be really nice, but of course we need quite a bit more strength before we can do that, and we are not created that right now. Let's equip this as well. Okay, and then let's find who our... Main Quest givers are going to be probably this guy, probably this guy. Let's start with him. Oh, it was not him, okay. Let's start with him, I guess. Located Dromat Caravan, okay. 2 and 6 pair of Sangs east of Tetim. Okay, not so bad. We're going to talk to him again to see who else. Vajib to the east. Queen Jai B. Offney the Wise. Okay. Who do you like? Disliked by goats? care about those. Let's get Wayfaring, absolutely, 100% worth it, every single time. No, that's not what I meant to press. Oops. Do you have work? Someone to go to Imokas Hedge and enter the Wayfaring Nien Cage. Enter a cage. Okay, sure, yeah, I guess we'll do that. Let's see, yeah, okay, I think that's, I think that's good enough. Let's take a look at where, I bet you this is going to be the... Okay, so two to six parisangs east of Tetam puts us a pretty good distance into the jungle. I'm not super thrilled about going there, so I'm not going to. We're going to come over to this one initially. Yeah, sure, we'll explore some ruins. Let's see, try to be somewhat safe here. Let's start with steel arrows, I guess. Oh, I just grabbed the corpse, didn't mean to do that. Let's drop that. A little cypim bit, so I get a little bit of, a little bit of HP back. There we go, okay. What did he have? A steel battle axe. Yeah, we'll equip that. Oh, it's rusted. Oh, never mind. Desert Chris, we will... Did I just pick up that same snapshot corpse? I did. Geez, Louise. Okay, we'll cook that. Drop that darn thing. Nothing, nothing particularly good. I think I see you, yeah. If I die to a seed-spitting vine, I will just uninstall this game. That's ridiculous. No, I'm kidding. I would not uninstall this game. Why is that one mad at me? You? are going to, oh, because you're a Kudzu symbiate. If I kill you, the other one right here, and the other one right here, will try to attack me, as they can see me, which I don't super love. I kind of want to not have to deal with a bunch of these guys. They are, let's take a look. Very tough, yeah. Let's pre-cog this, so we'll start a vision, we'll siphon some VIM, that guy hit like a dump truck, so what we're going to do is sprint and try to get the heck away for right now. Snapshot for it. Okay, that's, uh yeah, let's restart that. So we're gonna pop back here. We are going to immediately sprint, um, and then let's sprint over and down here. Yeah, let's see if we can clear the map on this side. Oh, ouch. And we can't. Darm. Yep. That is brutal. Oh, man. I should have sunrassed him. That's what I should have done. Right there, right there, stun grass grenade. I should have dropped stun gas grenade and survived. Dang. I'm bad at this game. I love it. I'm bad at it. I die all the time, and it's still excellent fun. So let's see where we ended up on today's leaderboard, real, real low. Yeah, that's expected. That is expected. Cool. Well, that's going to be it for today's daily run. If you're trying it and you run into those little guys, run away. Yeah, get bigger, get stronger, then come back. That's my advice. Until the next time, thanks for hanging out, thanks for watching this wonderful 11, 12 minute video, and we'll see you again, hopefully tomorrow. Until then, as always, happy gaming.
