[Reudh]

On your journey map, I notice a lair or something a couple tiles south of your blue line, about halfway between the last two lairs/caves you plan to stop at.  Any particular reason you are skipping that spot on your journey?

It seems a bit out of the way. Why risk the extra journey length?

That's exactly my reason, and also, historically mountains have always been doom for me when I play adventure mode. D:

I am taking a rather circuitous route, but I deem it the safest possible. The only possible danger is dying to whatever is in the caves; though I am now a Skilled ambusher, and a Grand Master thrower, I think I should be alright. (And gosh, bolts do HUGE damage when thrown).

Screw that, use bolts as a meele weapon.

Training up a legendary misc obj. user right now. Trying to see if it's as good as other weapon skills (lasher, spearman.) Maybe it is to melee what throwing is to ranged?

Anyway, Mountains are hit-or-miss. They generally have few animals, but the ones they do have will either be murderous or completely harmless (well, unless you accidently try to walk up a ramp into one and thus auto-attack it... yaks kill many of mine that way.) But if you mind what's above and below you on the ramps, yaks won't bother you. Of course, the other half of the time it's giant freaking eagles (pure evil).

Bolts are a passable melee weapon, probably on par with the stabby boning knives.

Thrown by a legendary thrower, they're almost instant death.

Misc. Object User is heavily dependent on the item you are using. If you can find a furniture shop that has lead or gold furniture, you can kill just about anything that can die from blunt trauma with ease.

Yaks are brutal thanks to their ninja skills; if your initial attack misses, they always seem to leap straight up and plant a hoof directly in your brain.

Far as the Bronze Tower goes, it's relatively safe. The overwhelming majority of animals Nish encountered during his hike were keas. There were a handful of wolverine men, but those were few and far between. No yaks at all that I ever saw.

I have made an effort to stay away from anything with hooves, given I have NO armour.

Sound logic.   I remember the elven swordsman that had his head handed to him by one of my horses in fort mode ... *shudders* it was ugly what that horse did to him, aside from literally kicking his head off.

So, how's the journey going?

[Crossroads Inc.]

Hmmm, It HAS been almost a week for Reudh..
(taps watch)

[Reudh]

(I don't get much time to just play, I've been doing a lot of things. I'm still in Arthadapen, preparing to leave for the next cave.)

[Crossroads Inc.]

Ok no worries
As long as your still alive, thats the important part

[Reudh]

Yeah, I gave up on sneaking across the countryside. It's too slow and I can't afford to lose another traveller unless i have more than one.

[Reudh]

With three new recruits, after the maceman from Arthadapen drowned (I WISH COMPANIONS HAD SWIMMING SKILLS), I left from Fistbristled. There is I; Mita Agepethit (Brotherlace), the pikeman; Rakel Atkilxaki (Seertactics), a hammerman; and lastly Puja Aslujirdo (Circledforded), a maceman.

We prepare to leave for Čthessárek Adilrotik, Glistenedechoed the Walled Nettle, southwest of us in Shethbahdiso, the Reticent Finger.

(Could someone do a drawing for me of Reudh II, Mita, Rakel, and Puja, as they leave the fort? Descriptions in the spoiler)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Lord Reudh II Strangerdanger the Raven of Evil:

He is small yet muscular. His very long sideburns are neatly combed. His medium-length moustache is neatly combed. His very long beard is braided. His hair is clean shaven. His nose bridge is convex. His skin is dark tan. His eyes are brass.

(Wielding a copper spear and a copper dagger. Wearing a cave spider silk dress.)

Mita Agepethit:

Her greasy hair is extremely long. She is tall and very muscular. Her lips are thick. Her somewhat narrow head is short. Her hair is chestnut. Her skin is tan. Her eyes are brass.

(Wielding a silver pike and wearing bronze mail shirt, a copper helmet and rope reed fibre long skirt.)

Rakel Atkilxaki:

Her hair is extremely long. She is tall and very fat. Her nose bridge is incredibly concave. Her voice is low. Her head is short. Her slightly rounded pale brown eyes are slightly close-set. Her hair is mahogany. Her skin is tan.

(Wielding a copper maul and a copper shield. Bronze mail shirt, copper helm, rope reed long skirt).

Puja Aslujirdo:

His hair is extremely long. He is tall and fat. His face is extraordinarily broad. His ears are very short. His head is short. His hair is dark chestnut. His skin is tan. His eyes are brown. His eyes are slightly close set.

(Wielding a copper morningstar and a copper shield. Iron mail shirt, copper helm, sheep wool long skirt.)

[Reudh]

I arrived at Čthessárek Adilrotik alone. Mita drowned, Puja got her head stomped in by a rhino and Rakel was systematically ripped apart by an alligator.
I had a narrow miss with a black mamba. Apparently their bite is instant death, so with my first two hits I severed its fangs. No fangs, no venom. I took Rakel's shield for extra safety.

In Čthessárek Adilrotik I found a giant mole. It was easy to defeat, and so I butchered it and have got a nice supply of food.

I go to sleep now, and await the morning.

I have had success with fast travelling after leaving the river (and walking far enough away) my companion was drowning at the time. no guarentees it will work
