POV Emma Greenhand
We have finally stopped, but why here? I have no idea. This looks similar to the rest of the forest we have been in, and a moment later I see four goblins move ahead to somewhere.
These are the second group of goblins that have captured me and my brothers and every day I wish this wasn’t the c...
2022-09-15 14:26:45 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I made it back home, I had to take a big break. Bringing over this amount of wood iron was quite exhausting. But the first thing I did after that was not to fire up the forge but go into the forest to locate a big oak tree and cut the similar branches that I got from the iron oak.
What this let me do is use my trai...
2022-09-14 09:07:57 +0000 UTC View PostMy admiring of my sauna was interrupted by a breakout of the puppies. Now Toto broke out constantly, but it was really rare for him to be able to get the others to follow, but on two previous occasions he has managed it and now it's the third time.
Toto is quite easy to catch because he doesn't actually want to run away...
2022-09-13 15:26:24 +0000 UTC View PostWatching the finished foundation of the sauna, I wanted to make the support for the deck next. but I needed somehow to make them more secure than just digging them inside the ground and for that I wanted to make clay and ash concrete to stabilize them better.
First thing to do was get clay, but I didn’t always want to...
2022-09-12 16:52:23 +0000 UTC View PostUnfortunately, animal sight didn’t work on the undead, so I had to use my energy sight and try to filter out all but the zombies and the other undead to see what they were up to.
I was finally able to notice the one that called the others. I was quite happy to figure out that it was not that intelligent. It spent time...
2022-09-11 09:37:14 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I was ready, I started walking down the road. I decided not to use my homesteaders mile to help get to there faster. I didn’t want to miss anything, and I kept using my sights as best as I could to see if I notice anything.
It didn’t take long for me to notice something extremely odd and quite worrying. There w...
2022-09-10 09:03:23 +0000 UTC View PostWhile training with the new bow in the morning, I made an unpleasant discovery. I simply wasn’t proficient enough to use it effectively at long range. If it was close, I could still be accurate, even though my firing rate would be lower than I wanted it to be.
So unfortunately, I will not be taking the longbow out for...

We were finally back at the headquarters, and I could finally enjoy some watered-down beer. What I didn’t enjoy was how many people there were around here. It makes my skin crawl. The few months we were on the road, ...
2022-09-08 09:06:17 +0000 UTC View PostI noticed Freya looking at me. She was quite close and apparently she had tried to sneak up while I was fighting looking to help me. This helped me calm myself down as I went to give her some reassurances that everything was fine after that she left towards the barn.
Now I had to deal with three bodies. As I searched th...
2022-09-07 15:27:47 +0000 UTC View PostAs I looked up on the area where I was going to build the sauna, I had two problems I was facing. One was the deck. I would need stable support sank into the ground for the edges and the middle so it would support and not touch the ground.
The other problem was going to be the foundation of the sauna itself. I don’t e...
2022-09-06 15:39:24 +0000 UTC View PostA new morning, yet I wasn’t excited about it. During my morning chores, I tried to understand what was wrong. I found myself lying on the grass and watching up at the sky as clouds passed. It took me some time before I could finally understand what was happening.
What helped me understand was an old game I used to pla...
2022-09-05 13:54:28 +0000 UTC View PostNext morning came with bad news. There were clouds again in the sky that promised heavy rain. I did my morning chores quickly, giving Freya some of the fresh bird meat and putting the last of the hatched chicks where they belong.
I’m quite sure that a different chicken was now on top of the big egg. From my taming ski...
2022-09-04 09:40:17 +0000 UTC View PostI was waked up by the panicked sounds of the cows and right after that I heard a huge bird cry so loud it hurt my ears. It took me a moment to realize where I was, but after that, I quickly got up, strung my bow and ran outside.
I saw the biggest bird I’ve ever seen flying towards the cows that were running to the saf...

The few millennia back, a team of goblins were working around a big female goblin. Soon guards in elegant armor starting to secure the exits. An old regal king and an elegant-looking queen walking in, followed closely by a young and beautiful princess. The king speaks in a powerful yet sad voice.
“Is it done...
2022-09-02 13:02:58 +0000 UTC View PostNext day I started off as any other, but I know that it won’t end like any other. I’m pretty sure that tonight Freya will give birth and before that I will give what I know to the goblins about them getting classes.
I have gotten a lot of progress done in getting wood and in my achievement page.

2022-09-01 16:39:31 +0000 UTC View PostToday the goblins were coming, and I hope that everything will go well. It will still be awhile before they are here, so after the chores, I used the time to go and trap some rabbits.
I wasn’t there for long, but I still got five rabbits. After butchering them, I didn't smoke them, but left some in the cellar and with...
2022-08-31 12:30:20 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I was back on the farm, I went to see the bull. He was happy to see me, and I spent some time just scratching him. Naming was difficult, and I always ended up giving stupid names, but I guess that’s just who I am.
“So, you haven't got a name, and I think it’s long overdue for you to get one.”
He acted...
2022-08-30 11:47:15 +0000 UTC View PostI had some time, so I didn’t hurry that much. I got up and prepared some food. As I went outside, I noticed I can see better in the dark.
I’m guessing that the new trait of vampires senses helped me, but a few moments later as I wished to see even better, everything cleared up and I could see everything better. I’...
2022-08-29 10:09:15 +0000 UTC View PostAs I was putting the finishing touches on to the sword, I suddenly smelled blood. It took me a bit to get the direction and as soon as I did, I saw the wolf coming around the woodsheds corner.
She had two rabbits in her jaw and that's where the blood smell came from. She seemed happy to see me moving about and came to g...
2022-08-28 18:13:24 +0000 UTC View PostFor the rest of the night and half of the next day, the fever got worse and I’m pretty sure no human should be as hot as I was. When the fever finally broke, and I started to feel better, I was glad not to die of an infection. It’s not my preferred way of dying.
I was still exhausted, but I used the time in bed not ...
2022-08-27 10:51:54 +0000 UTC View PostFirst thing I noticed was that dryness when I try to move, everything hurt, but the pain helped clear up my mind a bit and remember all that had happened.
The huge battle and the lightning after that, everything is hazy. The fighting stopped after some close fighting and I remember something about peace. At this moment,...

The smirk quickly faded as a dizzy spell came over him. The shaman looked at the wound and he understood instantly that he had been poisoned, and he was going to die. Absolute anger that course inside him fuelled the highest and strongest spell he knew, a lightning strike.
The shaman's eyes momentarily went th...

The goblin commander was in disbelief, but he understands now how the forces before didn’t actually have any chance of breaching the bridge.
He now knows that they should have crossed some place else, but all that strategy was forgotten when his anger overtook him, and he wanted to send all his troops to try...
2022-08-24 14:22:37 +0000 UTC View PostPOV goblin commander
For once, nobody seemed to be letting me down. We were ready to move in less than an hour. There is still a lot of daylight left and we might make it quite close to the target if they keep up with not letting me down.
I looked at all the combat troops in front of me. It was a ...
2022-08-23 13:24:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe wolf was doing well at the start, but the flow was quite fast here and when she was 2/3 the way across, she started to slow down. The wound and the fighting had taken a heavy price on her stamina.
“If you bite or kill me for this, I will haunt you until you die.” Luckily, I wasn’t wearing any armor when I was ...
2022-08-22 10:46:07 +0000 UTC View PostA lot of new class levels and skills. I am guessing I got the new alchemy skill as a result of the tar and poison mixture counting towards it.
But I honestly didn’t have any clue how to develop that skill any further. As I tried to get more information from the skill, to my surprise, it actually worked this time. I co...
2022-08-21 11:18:37 +0000 UTC View PostFirst thing I do is make leather vambraces, shin guards, and thigh guards out of leather. They are a quick build that will use leather rope to tighten them on to me.
When they were ready, and I applied their first tar coating, it was almost time to get the poison sumac inside the barrel.
But first I filled the con...
2022-08-20 10:34:08 +0000 UTC View PostNext day started off as any other but after my chores as I went to check the bridge and while I was on top of the tower, I noticed activity at the forage edge.
There was a bunch of goblins there “So they finally showed up”. As I prepared for another fight, I waited and kept waiting and soon the reason became apparen...
2022-08-19 10:23:20 +0000 UTC View PostIt was now time to start making the longbow. I was a lot more familiar with making this type of weapon than making the big ballista bow limb.
This helped me to choose better and the first one I picked turn out to be excellent. It didn't even struggle against me that much and by the evening, I was done.
Skill incre...
2022-08-18 11:59:52 +0000 UTC View PostFirst, I put my clothes back on and reset the alarm and the spike trap. I went and pulled out any throwing spears that were stuck in the tower.
It took me 3 trips to bring everything back by hand onto the farm. I might need to think about making a backpack basket so I can move more stuff around the farm at one time.
