Zekna: Doren, the crushing weight of bogeymen
Looking on my map I note that the "Prairie of Euphoria" is directly next to "The Virginal Dune." I can only think that whoever generated this world knew what they were doing.
I decide to go longways towards a dark fortress, and maybe go to the Prairie of Euphoria afterwards. Frist, though, I must address the fact that I have no food. I decide to use all my loot to buy some at the next town over.
On the way: cheetah ambush. I dispatch it pretty easily. I pick up the bones meat, hoping to make a profit in the town. I stop by a river to drink.
The way to the town seems impassable: too many rivers. I spend too much time trying to make it around - night falls. Invariably, they come for me. The incessant cacklers. I've come to the wrong neighborhood.
The first thing I do is drop everything in my inventory besides my weapon and knife. With my speed up to 1152, I'm feeling like I can make it out this time. At first it seems it's working! I move more squares than them.
My joy is pretty short-lived. I hit a wall and have to turn around. In one tick I'm on the ground in pain. There's not a lot of buildup this time - I don't even pass out. One of them runs up to me and punches through my skull.
There is no hope too great for the bogeymen to crush.
