I'm starting to get a little ed with how long I've been out here, so I start heading back towards the cave, keeping my eye out for pnts. I luck upon a si with somewhat rge broad leaves, and try to uproot it as well. I'm greeted by some bulbs within its roots, so I snap the roots to take the root bulbs, before finally returning to the cave entrah my haul.
After piling the pnt parts on top of the wood pile, I head bato the cave. This time beira cautious not to fall in the especially dark areas, because I'd likely never find all the things I'd drop, making the rip even more hazardous.
Finally, after what feels like ay, I'm ba the safety of the deep cave. Everything's where I left it, including the work I o do on clearing out the rgest of the sub-caves. For now though, I o put all the stuff I'm carrying down, a some food.
I make my way into my sub-cave, eat some dried imp, and then begin preparing some of the pnt to rub through my fur against my skin. I peel some of the petals from the flower bulb and rub that, and the ter against och of skin, then I break one of the thick stems, and rub the broken area on a different skin patch. Finally I shave some of the root a on a third patch.
Givehing I've dooday, I'm very tired at this point, and y back to sleep.
This is the sed time I've felt the maxed out level feeling now.
Avaible Traits:Earth Manipution: More easily manipute rod earth.
Avaible Species:Goblin
Well, I stand by what I've been pnning, so I suppose I should choose to prestige rather than evolve. Since, I'm doing that, then it looks like I currently only have Earth Manipution as a trait to pick. Well, I suppose with those deade, it's time to just give in to the ges.
As my sciousness fades, I realize that I'll probably o re-test the pnts on my skin.
Well, I'm not pletely used to the perspective ge, but I was at least expeg it this time. I look down over my body, and the hair has darkened again. It's no longer fully red, but looks to be a slightly muddy red instead. I look at my cws, and notice that my ce has ged slightly. Now the long nails are thicker, but also have a ft edge on the palm side. Carrying things is probably going to be that much harder now I guess.
Cheg my status yields the followis.
Well, back to being weaker. Which I suppose is fine for a little while, I o move into the rgest sub-cave anyway, so I spend a little time doing that and hopefully level up some to bee strain within the safety of the cave.
Before I do anything though, I'm starving. I go over and grab more of the dried imp meat. Then some main. Crap. I'm bigger again, and I need more of the meat to sustain myself. I o double down oing another source of food.
As soon as I finish eating, I repeat the ps from yesterday on my skin under my fur. There was ion over my sleep period, but that could be a sequence of prestige/evolution. I'd hate to die as a sequence of not being cautious here.
Before I do anything else, while I remember it, I should etch my level 0 stats down in the wall, which I notice is actually easier than it was before. Maybe that is the Earth Manipution trait ing into effect. Either way, I want to pte a problem from before. I thought it was either 5% of gaiats, or 3.33% of total stats, that I kept. I started at... 110? I think, as an unp. I e 360, so 250 gaiats. That means I either gained 13, or 23 stats, depending on how it's calcuted.
I do some mental math, if it's out of the 360, theher 3.61%, or 6.38%, her of which match the previous prestige values, not that they have to I guess. Then if it is instead out of the 250 gained, it's either 5.2% or 9.2%. Assuming potential rounding issues, then 5.2% is close. Then again, 3.61% is close for total as well.
I run some more numbers, if it was instead 12 or 14, how would it look for total stats? 12 would be 3.33% for 360, which would actually be in lih the before values, so I probably say it's not a rounding error for the 13 value. How about for 250? 12 would give 4.8%, which keeps it in rounding range. For now, I'll run with the w assumption that I'm keeping 5% of my gaiats when I prestige, and those values are added to my level 0 values from my previous form.
The mana values have too many variables thanks to Mana Affinity for me to be certain about. For now I'll just make sure I've scratched the values into the wall before I leave.
Pulling the crystals out of the wall is way easier now. My cws are shaped just right to get under a er and pop them out. Given the new pace, I finish up clearing the rgest sub-cave's entrance early, and begin the process of moving all my stuff into this new room.
Given its size, I shouldn't o worry about moving for some time now. Which is enough reason to motivate me to move into it. I carry things o a time from my old cave to this new one, each time copying some of the scratgs on the wall until I've moved all but the crystal pile, at which point, I start to feel an itch.
I look down, and the patch of skin that I rubbed the pnt stem on, it's irritated. Well, I'm gd I didn't try to just eat random things, I'm not sure what exactly the pnt stems are, whether it's poison or an irritant, but either way, I suppose the rest of them are useless to me. Given that, I move them back to the old cave as I grab a few of the crystals from the old crystal pile to haul over before I sleep.
After dropping these ones off, I check my status.
sidering I don't have any other reason I think of for why I'm missing HP, my guess is that damage es from the poison. My hope is that it's the stem though, and not some other poison. I guess I'll find out though. For now, I'll just go to sleep, and recheck my HP when I wake up. I don't want to move on to the stage of testing for poiso until I regain my missing hitpoints.
When I wake up, I recheck my stats to see if I've healed.
Ok, I have healed up, and the patch of skin from before seems to no longer be irritated. Once I fill my belly, I'll move on to the p of cheg against my lips.
After eating more of my ever shrinki supply, I move on to testing a small amount of the bulbous roots against my lips, rubbing them around them, making sure to leave some on my lips when I pull it away.
For the rest of today, I'll just haul the rest of the crystals from my old cave to this new one.
