Day 28, or THE LAST DAY OF SPRING
Tis the last day of spring, and TIL that dark wyrms can suffocate. I mean, I guess I should had figured that, but this is one of the first times Ive seen it.
Speaking of mines and gas, my female companion Reno has dissappeared. We were traveling down a mineshaft and she was complaining of being tired. I wasnt going to turn this car around just because she had the sleepies and didnt ask when we were topside. So I kept going. And in the gas, I lost track of her. And never found her again.
At first I thought it might have been another dimensional rift, but no, she didnt come back and I was forced to move on. Cue her coming back and Kill Billing me.
So I assumed she went to lay down somewhere and sleep and didnt wake back up. How sad.
The space marine helmet is working about as I intended it to. It protects against regular combat conditions, but cant hold up to the thick noxious fumes of the gas vents. Even when wearing a filter mask in addtion to it I on rare occasions ‘feel sick’.
On the plus side, Im finally tipping my health modifier from ‘assy mcboozepants’ to ‘modest matt’. Aplus there.
I spent 12 hours crafting a leather sleeveless duster and a backup leather trenchcoat yesterday. I failed to make it 3 damn times. I was ripped, until I saw that that gave me 48% skill. If I were not a slow learner I would have leveled up from that.
Slow learner advertises -50% skill gain, but the reality is that, especially in the beginning, its less than that. Especially with insomniac, bad temper, and alcoholism slowing me down and reducing my morale.
I named spear, made a repeating crossbow, modified the skillset of the repbow to archery, and considered making a longbow. I decided against it due to personality reasons. My characters are a rough extension of myself, and my habits and likes usually creep into their own. I like leather and crossbows. I like shotguns and revolvers. I like not using automatic spastastic wepaonry. So guess what my characters, who share my name, like to do?
Automatic guns feel gross in my hands. I dislike them in general.
Anywho. I hve yet to find a welding rig book, and Im down to maybe 1500 batteries to my name. 1000 of which are in the UPS that will power the laser and fusion weapons I have stashed away. I dont need them. I even dropped off the mossberg in favor of the repxbow and an underslung shotgun.
I made myself a fire suit and I have a lot more enviornmental protection than the last time I was in the mines. Stupid slugs with their acid trails. its damn annoying.
I shot my way through the slugs, but they almost dissolved my legs for it.
In other news. I learned that the fungal boomer’s blob spawns are in the fungal faction, which I guess, but its weird.
The zombie horse had 50 aggro and 50 morale, and was afraid of me, so I bumped that up.
I reduced the spawn rate of some new swamp critters, and I still havent made it to the northwestern city yet.
pedit:
Oh, and is it me, or is the lava in the mines spawning purposely by the staircase to be a dick?
And also, would the ability to ‘incubate’ fungal forms interest any players? Im talking about using marloss and other, rarer fruits in recipes to make items that had to age for a time period before they could be used to create a fungal creature.
