I login, still at New Galway, and noticed the wind is now a gale. Except it’s now going the wrong fucking way (Northwest instead of Southwest). Funny thing about this is I actually had a dream of this.
So anyway I go for it. Enter the Cave Canal. No issues. I turn the corner to the Freedom Market end of the canal and the boat stops at the entrance. I disembark and attempt to drag it through the entrance. There’s no Drag option. Nor is there an Embark option.
I try logging, thinking by logging it should fix itself. Instead, my boat disappears! I of course panic, but hope to find my boat somewhere in the canal, and begin to walk the walkable part of the canal. I also lighted all the lamps with my flint and steel. Alas, I couldn’t find my Corbita. So I knew I would be forced to call for a GM, and did.
Had to wait 10 minutes until a GM finally showed up. When she did, said the boat is still there, but it was “halfway up the mountain” and managed to drag it out easily. I thanked her and continued on my way.
Soon, I finally made it back home. I wanted to hang up my pictures of Erik the Red on my house’s walls, but it’s not possible. Also, time to get back to work.
First thing I needed to do was make 15 bricks. So I grabbed what I needed from the coffin and made my way down into my only mine. A second after I entered my mine I heard the “URRGG” sound (enemy hurting me) and made me jump, and quickly ran out. Checked the flashing Combat tab and noticed the name of my attacker. ‘Young cave bug’. The irony stings. Cave bug in a cave.
I was about ready to tell kchat but I decided to yell “guards!”, and my guards actually responded. It took them about 20 seconds to run down to me and they actually entered my mine and started attacking the cave bug.
I heard that guards will not go into mines; for they are too scared. This blows that saying out of the fucking water!
So I’m all “Yeah! Yeah! Kill it!” and join in. Then see another cave bug next to it who starts attacking me. I panic and run out.
So the first cave bug is dead, I yell “guards!” again. This time they aren’t responding. It turns out you got to stand outside of the cave. All has to do with the fact caves are 2D.
So by standing outside, I yell again and the guards immediately move in on the second cave bug and begin attacking. Soon it’s dead. So I check the rest of the mine and see a third cave bug, target it and call the guards. Again. No response. At the time I didn’t know you had to stay outside of the mine for the guards to respond.
So the third one is now dead. I again check the mine for any more bugs, and it looked clear. I also noticed a cave wall near the forge caved in, and took this as a way to start mining for my 15 bricks.
When I finished, a person in kchat asked if someone could pick them up from Samling and take them to Reborn. Seeing how no one else responded, I volunteered to take the person. But time (and the wind) wasn’t on my side.
The person ‘sweetened’ the deal by offering meals as payment. 65+ QL meals. I freaked and was all like “LOL, OK!!”. You give me meals and I’ll take you around the fucking server.
So in the middle of night I set sail for Samling, while preparing my RL dinner. Finally got there, picked the person up and got them to Reborn, where I was given 16 meals. All high QL… but, low in weight. Still, that’s good enough.
Now I just need to get back home and make those bricks. Angry claims he may know a way to remove clay tiles.
