Short update today because I slept in because oh my god I need it to be Saturday already I'm dying. Gotta go! Hopefully I won't have 800 TIRES to process by hand like I did yesterday and will actually have time for a lunch break or something.

Gonna fight the Dire Beast!

You are facing a fearsome creature indeed. The Dire Beast has a tough hide and huge claws. It is also faster on its feet than you are! You cannot escape; you must battle to the finish.

DIRE BEAST (Skill 9, Stamina 10)

Also getting dire? Your health situation. But whatever, you killed it.

You have slain the Dire Beast. You cut off a few of its rock-like claws as mementos of your great battle. You search the clearing for other exits, but find none, so you turn round and leave by the way you came, heading east.

Wait a minute...

To your dismay, the deadly Sword Trees have already grown back!

OH GOD DAMN IT

Do, uh, do we have, like... health potions.

You've got a Stamina spell gem in your pocket for when things get truly dicey, I'll pull it out right before you guys kack, but after that, y'all are on your own.

Man. We either gotta go fight the unicorn -- and probably burn that stamina spell, I don't think our other spells would help with a unicorn -- or backtrack some MORE.

[merridia]

Gotta start making the tough choices~

[melly]

the real question is where is the fucking map, scott, why do we keep going back to the goddamn sword trees

[effseedee]

if y'all hadn't wussed out on the unicorn we wouldn't be in this mess!

ALWAYS BE (C)RYING AS YOU RUN AWAY

[effseedee]

okay you have convinced me, i cannot argue with this

[ashkitty]

I am vexed that there is no other option but sword or spell. Are we not an evolved life form? Do we not live in the wild? CAN WE NOT JUST MAKE A DAMN FIRE?

YOU DIDN'T BRING A LIGHTER INTO THE SWAMP, OKAY, IT'S MAGIC OR BUST
