(@Holofernes - I'm going to be camping with no Internet from the 14th to the 18th. I don't know how you want to handle that, but I thought you should know.)

In this update, Lou fails at drawing animals. Woo.

I've extended the duration of day to three updates (counting sunset). I realized 12 turns was too little.

Also, a clarification on dialogue: even though technically, your post hasn't resolved before the update, it is still possible for players to interact with others before the update. An example is if Lumi tells Aux to follow, Aux can follow even though the game hasn't been updated (so technically none of Lumi's actions have resolved). This was done to prevent dialogue taking ages. Thanks to @fortis for pointing this out.

Spoiler! :
@BiscuitsBatchAvoy, you successfully strike down a berry and move to it.

@Lumi, @Morrigan and @fortis head westwards. You see an elk, and, further west, skulking behind a tree, a party of goblins. They seem to be intent on the elk and don't notice you. @fortis, you eat a small helpless bird along the way.

@lostthought, you put your two berries in your inventory.

@Meandbooks, you put your two berries in your inventory and climb down.

@queerelves, you confirm the berries are edible.

@ReisePiecey, you put two berries in your inventory.

@Tuesday, you eat a root. It tastes like barf.

@AlexSushiDog, you find bulging roots.

@Auxiira, you spear one more berry along the way.

@SpiritedWolfe, you do nothing, because I'm not going to wait around forever for people.


edit: since I want night to last less than day, but two turns of night seem to little, day is going to be four updates, and night three.

Lumi says...



: Initiates flavor text as follows:

"Goblins," spat Lumi as he spied the four green-skins lurking down the vale. With their huge, floppy ears upwind, he trusted he could think for a moment uninterrupted. It was then that he wiped the back of his hand against his face to remove sweat--and came away blinded by a juicy red mash of premium, gravity-given Oran Berry mask. He wiped the mess away and licked his fingers, nodding to himself. It would work perfectly.

"Fortis!" he shouted, getting the attention of the bird. "Blind them with berry mash and we may yet live." Wiping his mouth, he grinned and drew his sword. "For the glory of experience!"

The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
