What's Going On In Your Unreal World?

Bled to death.

Treated a wound like I have been doing for the past week or so. This time the RNG gods decided that the wound starts to bleed after treating. Did not notice the warning text and started to tan a hide. Died in an instant.

I don't remember much about the details.. something about being exhausted after finishing another section of my island home and tanning that squirrel hide I happened to chance on my way to my shelter..

All I know is that, when I reached my shelter, I came literally face to face with an unsuspecting elk.. 



Neither one of us were prepared for the encounter.. save scumming hilarities ensued.. with me too tired to try hunting the elk and only have my club readied, I had no choice but to let the elk go..   

Might be it will fall to one of my pit trap later..

Got sucked into a wolf encounter. Injured one and managed to escape, then came back more prepared -- rested, fed, well-armed and armored, not as encumbered.

The wolves were still there, but they'd found a different quarry. Looks like wolves can't catch squirrels so well, either!



I think I've seen predators chase prey animals before, but I never saw them tree a squirrel. They weren't very interested in me until I pegged one of them with my spear -- and then they all ran off. Smart wolves.

Finally!!! First confirmed sightings of a Grey seal in the zoomed in tile!!! 

Link to my Steam screenshot page: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3208444196

Have seen them a coupled of times on the zoomed out world, but haven't been able to see one this close. Now.. if only I could find out where they make lands, so I can start hunting them.. 

PS sorry for posting the link instead of embedding the image directly.. it's not cropped so better to see it directly on the Steam page..

Two robbers appear from nowhere and knock me out unconscious with only two hits and was well-armored, I take a look at the injuries and I discover a deep cut to the neck... I guess the long mail cowl I were wearing was made of paper because the severity bar is almost full to the point it could have been "Your neck has been cut in half", my PC almost had a year and was carrying some masterwork gear with me for a trade travel and the fact I got no warning (I didn't move adjacent to them in the world map) made me ragequit and quit living... Still I had a large stock of sorted furs and tools in home but there is something about in NPC robbers I find infuriating, dying to a bear or njerpez is one thing but losing your hard-earned stuff is aggravating...

I find ridiculous how numerous they are, no matter if their equipment is basic (handaxes, knives) or their skill is low they don't seem to flee if you kill one of their buddies or severely injure one of them and at the end they'll manage to knock you out soon or later, I wish there is a way to remove them in my playthroughts since I have more a lone wolf playstyle. Here in the UnReal World: more guys > gear & skill.

Time to drink some heather beverage for that swelling neck...

Ya I friggen hate robbers. I got a masterwork knife taken recently. I'm proud of myself that I didn't get killed trying to going after them. If anyone has tips on surviving robber encounters please share.

Currently I'm working on a salmon fishing hut on the outskirts of Dirkii territory, loads of deer on the other side of the river, might build a trap fence one day.
