Please update your own items, XP and influence.
I will get around to group storage in a while, I hope.
Day 2 begins!
I will add the earrings to the pack of the trader (if he accepts)
Than I will use the whale vomit and the life force to make perfume that smells of the fresh ocean breeze. The bottle will be made out of pure life force concentrated into a glowing physical shape.
If successful I will drop the perfume into the group inventory to be traded away.

Realizing what you could accomplish with the Ambergris and the Sphere of Life Energy, you shape the Sphere into a perfume bottle and slide the Ambergris into it. As it enters, it rapidly attains a pleasing scent and by the end of the day, you stand with a bottle of exquisite perfume, powered by the power of life.

You head out into the jungle. For a while, you're disappointed that there isn't something worthy of collecting, but you happen upon an old temple. Limited in your capacity, you decide ot carry back home all the gems you could find. At the end of the day, you manage to return with 41 flawless jades. Athough you're unsure where the ruined temple is, you are certain there is still more to be found there.

Grabbing the radioactive sword, you shield yourself from its rays as you work to set the gem into the pine handle. While it is difficult, the beauty of the sword at the end is so incredible that you cannot help but be amazed at the quality of your work. You place it, proudly, into the group storage, wondering what to do for the next day.

!Base Influence: 172!Well, that's far more tree than I ever expected to lay claim upon! How many logs/units of wood do the branches/trunk divide into? just wondering.
I drop the pine log into group storage, and return outside to gather. I will do this by digging a hole straight down, keeping anything interesting but mainly trying to get a quantity of soil.
Attempt: 68 (successful digging!)
Quality: 26
Quantity: 63-26 = 37
You head out into the jungle, find a good spot and start digging downwards. You try to fill up as many empty sandbags with unrefined soil as you can. At the end of the day, you manage to fill up 37 bags. You bring back 37 bags to the ship, happy with the work you managed to do, but you wonder what might be hidden in the soil.

Grabbing your sand, you attempt to heat it up and blow it into shape, but it doesn't quite work. Although the sand is now refined into a globolous mass of glass, you haven't managed to shape it into something that would be worthwhile to anyone in the universe. It's not even art!
