I swear, Rolf has increased the number of hostiles in this server.
I’m currently on my way to Samling. So far it has been very… unpleasant. Multiple bear encounters on my route. Like it’s a warning to just stay back in Vorgon. Like I’m not ready to explore yet.
It first started as I was following the coastline from Vorgon. A bear shark decides to engage me and mauls me in the chest ‘hard’, yet it was a Very Light wound.
There was a second encounter, but I managed to outrun it.
The 3rd encounter was when I thought I was approaching the first Canal. It turns out to be fake. The bear traps me in this mini-canal. I turn around and notice the real canal, and decide to pull my rowboat across these Steppe tiles to the real canal, and made it.
I prayed for no more encounters, but they weren’t done yet. As I approached the turn I saw yet another bear sitting right on the canal wall, waiting for me to try moving through.
I tried calling for the guards, alas there wasn’t a guard tower anywhere around. I tried asking in kchat for help, no help there, so I tried just going for it.
I took a breath, counted to 3, and gunned it. Managed to outrun the bear and got through the canal!
Now approaching the Cave Canal, I hope I don’t run into anymore fucking Bear Sharks.
