Hello, hello. It's Abliving Cube. We are playing Caves of Cud, and we are going to pick up the daily for Day 161. 2026, we've got a child of the hearth, heat resistance, ego, blah, blah, blah, all good. There's a pretty good stats here. Ego is really, really bad, so buying things is going to be a bit of a challenge, but that's, you know, not that big of a deal. TikTok, we have a sturdy collar around our neck that is going to explode in exactly one hour. So if we have not managed to die before then, we will be dying at that time. Hated by antelopes, hated by the Barthamites. Yeah, so that warden is a bit of a nope. But it is interesting that a... Hatter has managed to become the Gordon of the place. Very cool. A solar cell on us right now, that's decent. We have steel gauntlets, a conch build, so we're going to get bludgeoning and conch as quickly as we can. and a trade yet. We'll just auto explore here. Do the standard. We'll get our couple of village histories right there. We're in a bunch of asphalt, so we'll get stuck occasionally and have to just go it to auto explore again. It's a starting village a little bit annoying. That was a legendary Apple Farmer's daughter. To the right here, right there. She's probably going to be one of the people that we have a quest from. We're going to guess. Okay, there finally. Okay. Let's see here. So let's talk to, what do we have here? We've got a legendary pig farmer. We didn't have a legendary apple farmer's daughter. Okay. Legendary pig farmer. Village Elder. Let's talk to the Village Elder. Oftentimes, these guys will have a quest for us. Who do you? Or who hates and loves you, rather. That's not so bad. Water up from them. We just got, Your Thirst is Mine. My water is yours. So, that's 100 water rituals. That's something else from him. We'll ask about work, though, and we are going to definitely make a pilgrimage to put something on octagonal table. Cool. Okay, those are always easy. It's really handy. If you don't have something, you get one of those, pick up a couple of arrows or something from the... Troma Trader in each village, as that will, that's perfectly fine to leave on the table. The tinker this time that we... Let's talk with. So we need hung tool. Okay, cool. Did we look at this chest? I've painted everything in this. I painted workbench, torch gone. They have a lot of painted stuff. Okay, let's talk to the engines, and... Like I said, we will... Only nine light slugs, huh? Grab those arrows though. But a leather armor, ah, now we can probably, probably get that. Always look at engraved, if you can engraved in paintings. So that's going to give us a historic site for free. That we can pop to and look at that. How much do we have? We've got 62. We've got a bunch of torches that. definitely don't. So we're going to get rid of half a load. And a laborer security card. I don't know that, but we'll keep it just in case. That's probably fine. So let's pop up and take a look around. So, okay, this one is deep in the jungle. I'm not super interested in going to that. This one is the... table. So we will come here and add something to the table, you know, assuming we don't get lost. Okay, so we killed the chameleon, it's going to make this guy mad. That's okay, the dog is going to help us out. Yeah, come on, dogs. So we do have Slam. If we... is a pretty good skill. Alright, that's so far so good. Let's see, we can't talk to the dogs and our location, so we kind of have to go for the best here. No what, actually, let's go back down this way. There's a... I don't care about Kudzu. Speeding fine, we're going to hide behind the E-Mine, long enough to get here. Some snaps jaws, okay, so this is going to be our first challenge with this guy. I don't think it's going to be a big deal. Should be able to beat this guy down, get a little two, and then the actual snapshots are pretty... Pretty lightweight, littered. Okay. Yeah. What do we have around? So we do have a wooden buckler. We'll get a... Put on. Everything... These sell pretty well, leave, if I remember right, so we'll grab that. See if we... Ah, Slug's not... Wait, that's just a bore, isn't it? Yeah, okay. That's not so bad. We'll slam him. Kill him, he's the biggest threat. Kill that guy. Kill up. Slam this guy again. Okay, pull, hammer him down. So cudgels will have a pretty regular ability to, well, I was waiting there. Stun, oh, we are dangerously, dangerously close to dying. We're going to use our self-injector. and right hit him yeah okay are still bleeding it looks like we're gonna whip up a me and just oh we keep getting impaled oh rather that guy got impaled okay that's decent um Okay, he doesn't, I guess. So we will slam him, and him here. He is stunned right now, which is good. Let's see that he's injured. Ah, but we have this guy here. Um, 15 more turns until we can slam again. He is badly wounded, so I think we'll win them. Okay, what does this guy have? Bronze Dagger. We'll take that. Just because it's easy to carry and decent to sell. Okay, auto-explore again. How about that? Hey, awesome, folks to talk to you. What do you have? Grams of cider. Star Apple Jam and stuff, okay, not bad. We'll auto-explore this area. I'm going to guess that this is probably back right near the village that we started from. All right, I'm going to guess if we go down this pair of saying, we, nope, not at home. Are we exactly? Yeah, we're basically at home. Okay, come up, and we're lost again. Oh, boy. Where are you going? So we busher that guy into meat. Can't actually prepare that meat into anything. This guy, this isn't wrong. So a slugs snout is decidedly more... That dog really helps us. The normal boars aren't so bad, but the slugs snouts can very quickly end run. We gained our bearings. Uh, sure. Take a look at this. Got ruins. Hopefully not get mowed down. Oh, we are in the chunk. Yeah, we're going to come up. We're going to come over. Boy, this guy cannot go five steps without getting lost. Okay, we've got a bunch of... Snap Jaws. Not a big deal. We're going to let them waste some arrows on us. So we're going to pass turns here. Because the further away they are, the less accurate they are. So this guy now, more of a danger as he's close, and we'll be able to hit us. Not that it matters, because we've killed him. So grab that. Boomrose arrows, that's not nice. That's everything there. What was this guy? That was a Snapchat as well. This guy's going to close up us. He's probably out of arrows now, so. That guy's not, though. Take both of those and this. If we can get close enough. Yep, take them down. Oh, those, a chameleon. Um, I suppose I can reload, hey, yep. garbage because we don't have any skills with bows, but and our, I don't think our attribute, ah, we've got 19 agility, that's not so bad. So let's look around here. We're going to equip this instead of our apron. Can't we mask, uh, bronze makes. I believe we have, we're using steel, right? Yeah, that's much better. Drop this. Take a look at what this is. A stun rod. Okay. So that has some sort of cell. It'll probably be a M-cell. We'll switch that to the solar cell. So as long as we're in sunlight, it'll just keep... Keep refreshing. And we could... So it's got 5 penetration and 2D2 damage. This has the same, but I believe the stun rod... I think it gets extra days when it hits as long as it's powered. Oh, well, I'm gonna just leave it, that'll be fine. At 45 minutes left, not a big deal. We are still lost, though. Still lost. Hub, um, Snapjust Hunter to the... Oh, he's way over there. So not concerned about that, I should be able to auto-explore. Okay, here we go. couple of turns. They shot themselves. We will grab the two-handed steel war hammer. That is pretty good. I don't think we'll take it, though. I think that I can trade for a decent amount. Okay, we try and close this gap here. Awesome, and we'll take it as well. Okay. Bront's dagger. Oh, hey. Take those two. Okay. Here. Porches and stuff. They're not currently mad at us, but they will be mad at us as soon as we fill this toward us, I mean. Um, they being the Salman. There we go. Oh, not. There we go. That does give us enough for bludgeon. We definitely buy that. We're going to get conch as soon as we can, but we have a couple of attribute points that we need to get before we can do that. Now, just one point. Oh, boy, there's lots of these guys here. Okay, let's slam this guy backwards. Take out those two. That guy, okay. Not bad, and a salt hopper. We're just gonna wait, let it come to us. Press the wrong button there. A two-headed boar. Well, hey. The bird might help us. Nope, I guess not. That is okay. Alright, excellent. Oh, that's not at all what I meant to do. But now we have a wine skin full of blood, so, you know, you never know when that'll come in handy. Come up here, because I don't care about the working those two. Saltopper. Slam this guy. NIST. Rough. You see how fast that guy brought me down to yellow, though, hey? Like, they, um, they, they, they really get you. This could be... Yeah, what we're gonna do is... We only had the one, um, that's okay. We know he's up above us, so we don't need to worry about confusion. There's one to the left of us. So even though it looks like he's not there, he is, we're just confused. There we go, we've passed a few turns, took off the confusion, healed up. I think we had leveled there once, didn't we, yeah, we've got 247 now. We can't quite get Kong, but what we can do is get meal prep, and grab sultune, grab sultunes, and then we will grab jungles, because it's going to be a bit before we get another attribute point, I think. Snap Jaws. Those beaded bracelets are worth a decent amount. This guy's got to go. Darn. Okay, so we're going to kill that little guy, because he's just adding damage to us. Anything interesting? No. Sakari, Sunvale, nope, don't need that. What we will do, though, is we'll keep another camp and then preserve our fresh foods. We don't need to preserve our exotics, but this way we can specify what we want to cook with, of course, and there we go, whenever we get fresh water, 25% chance to get 32% of our max HP for one hour. That's not bad. It's not great. It's not bad. They're still lost. And there's a legendary snapjaw right there. Okay, so this could get interesting. Did I shoot the, yeah, I did. Shoot the one guy that I did not want to shoot. So we're going to try and slam him backwards. Perfect, and we're going to kill his ads as quickly as we can. Perfect again. Grab that. Now, most of his ads are gone. I wonder if we can kite him a little bit. Give us a chance to get Slam off of Cool Down again. This dude hits like a dump truck. That's not great. Let's try and shoot him. Staying close. Darn. Okay, we're gonna come down. We do have slam off of cooldown now, and we've got the dog to help us. So let's try and shoot him once. Let's slam him. And we missed. That's not great. We might end up biting it here. This would be the end up our run. We'll see, he is wounded now. We killed him. Excellent. Our reputation with robots increased. and with unshelled reptiles. That's very good. Okay, excellent. All right, so let's grab this. We want to look at this, it's engraved and painted, so we're going to get two pieces of lore, right? Painted, braved. There's stacked reputation with Helmut Showder or Kith, apparently. If we were to wear that, so it is decent. Electrified Freezing Club. So that will electrify things when you get with it. That's actually pretty decent as well. We'll take the gigantic copper nugget. I'm tempted by the steel battle axe just because I think it can sell decently well, and we do have quite a bit of space, so I think that's safe. I think that's a safe thing to do. What we might do is sell from this. put the cell in this because electrified will arc between enemies if they're close to each other and that will let us take them down a bit faster I could arc into things like dogs though I wish we didn't necessarily want but you know, I'm willing to take that risk. Okay. to the top, what I'm doing there is pressing alt and up or alt and 8 on your numpad to go to the nearest edge, basically. Zap this guy down. I think we're all right here. We are a little bit low on health, but it's nothing too serious at the moment. I'm gonna slam him backwards. Let's shoot a couple times. So we're down to 16 HP, but I think we can take this guy out. We'll grab that beaded bracelet. Nothing else. I think everything else is fine to leave. Let's grab some mushrooms. Perfect. Okay. Wait here for a couple turns. Meet again. Finally. So we're almost where we want to be. Now we will go down here, and we will place something on the octagon table. Pretty bizarre contraption. It is agreed if these might take up residents here in time. What are you, you pump, of some sort wooden machinery. Actually look at what those guys dropped. Did they drop anything good for us? Particularly, get a second... Oh, you know what, we could... I don't have anything on our head right now, so... Anything more... A couple of slubs now. This is a very combat-heavy... Very combat-heavy round. A table to slug, because we don't currently have a gun. Perfect, okay, so now we're going to come up, I want to pop down, head to... Oh, good, Snapshuff. We're going to come up before they see us, though. Hop down. I don't know who gave us the... I don't remember who gave us the... The Elder? Yeah. Let's choose a random name from Snapjaw. give it the Xenachrome. Arthelite Quest. This to do, 30 minutes. Talk to the stilt, so this will just give us a little bit of extra XP when we go to the stilt. I think we might say I think we might do right now, but cannot go five feet to win. getting one. That's bad. Slam. We may as well explore a little bit of this room. My gift books. Hey, there we go. With an island backpack, we will get that. Faces. And a bubble up. Back to the town, I want to talk to the... We'll just grab all the slugs that we can. Otherwise, I don't think we really need... anything here that they have. Musket is technically a step up from what we have as far as damage goes, but I don't think we'll do that. Now, do we have. enough that we could grab more wilderness lore. But the sultunes are, well, sultunes are, well, sultunes in hills, they're canyons, hey? Let's grab canyons, because it sucks to get lost constantly, right where we... Um, literally two-headed four, if we can lead. Yeah, we can. Um, can leave. Oh, because I don't really fight that guy. It's nice to have it for the E &V, but... Perfect, a little extra... come here, we'll leave a statue, we'll give us, uh, maybe our first piece of Russia floor. Two, okay. Oh, uh, tired by tortoises, hated by oozes, dislike by trolls. Uh, okay, oh, water is sure with that. This is the first, um, stilt in a long time that hasn't had vines, literally right here, for my random roles. Having them over here where they're not constantly is kind of nice. Up here. Those books that we've got sitting in our inventory, a tumbling pod. I always like finding out what that guy's going to be. Disliked by Beatles, fired by the children of Mammon. See. Yep, we're gonna talk to this person, get our free yonder cane. So it gives us the location of Baylaw and lets us, um, it lets us, um, it lets us, um, uh, get a yonder cane so we can teleport to, which is always you. We've got a bookfinder, campfire, and a... Let's just come up. I think what we'll do is... Let's try to go for that other first quest. Let's see if we can do it. Don't have a lot of time. Village, yes, absolutely. Those doors. These doors that are purple here will also be painted. But the fact that's not showing us anything you already looked at, whatever the look is. So we've got a legendary self-hopper, merchant, and then another salt hopper. A floating glow sphere. Can I do it? all these. That... don't know what those are, but they're low value. Cannot afford it. Dang. Be nice to avoid that. I mean, I guess if we get rid of our yonder cane and I'm a backpack, and our other injectors, get a floating gloat sphere, I'm not sure that that's a... Yeah, we still can't even with that. Cancel that trade. Can afford this, though. And we will absolutely... take all the slugs he has. Perfect. Okay, our weight is still decent. Too much about that. This is a metal full chair. A freezing bronze day. Okay, fair about that at all. It's gonna be a gop folk village, probably. Goatfolk will be hostile to us by default, I believe. I just want you to come over to this side of them. Hostel? Yes. Keep coming this one. A yonder bush is reviewed. So, we stepped into a yonder bush and got teleported. Oh, yeah, don't want to do one of those guys right now. So we'll come this way. I think we were hobbled there, weren't we? Nope, that's not what I meant to do. Let to slam him. We're in trouble. That's what we are. We're in trouble. He's still up this way, I think. We're hungry, and we are doing great. slumberling, nope, do not have the take, oh, somebody woke it up. We don't have the ability to take that guy on right now, nor do we want. We're going to come up, see if we can come down. Hopefully, not die. We're going to have to try and kill this guy. If we get surrounded here, it will be the end of us. For sure. Even just fighting this guy, we don't have, yeah. Unfortunately, we don't have any other healing items, so. That's okay. We found one layer. We named one item. We got our uber nostrum injector so we can regrow limbs that we had one chopped off. And we got to level 8. All and all, that's not bad. Take a look at where we rank here. Six. Not bad. Yeah, not bad at all. That's respectable. Thanks for hanging out, as always. And, yeah, happy gaming.
