Day 2: No Torches, No Life Service
I woke up with Duke tripping over me. Feels like the guys blind, you know. Today I decided that I would put my pick to good use. I start digging a hole outside when Duke tells me that I could save myself the trouble and just find a cave. Heeding his advice, I went in search of one. I found a couple of these things that Duke told me about. Slimes, a rather apt name. Using my axe, I dispatch them with a bit of a problem.
Speaking of that, I should make a weapon with the stuff I found. OK, moving on. I found this large-as-heck cave. It was quite dark but I went down anyway.
Turns out, going into dark, scary caves with screams coming out without torches is bad. I immediately get ambushed by a large yellow slime which was different from the two I'd seen above. They were blue and green (Blue eggs, green eggs and yellow ham, heh heh). Screaming like a girl, I start swinging both my pick and my axe frantically and kill it but getting hurt really badly. Tired, I fall down and the most improbable thing happens. All the money I had collected (which, by the way, could be used to buy stuff from a certain merchant) and the slime fell down. The slime falls on the sticks and voila! It's on fire! I created fire out of thin air! How totally realistic!
I grab everything and once again begin my descent, but this time, I have torches! I find a ton of copper and some iron but I run when I see some large slimes in the darkness.
Reaching home, make a chest and drop everything in it. Talking with Duke, I find out about a lot of things. Falling stars, the Eye Of Cthulhu(who I shall ignore in every way), health bringing mushrooms, mana and … The Old Man. Apparently, he is guarding something called the Dungeon. But for now, I shall forge an anvil and a sword.
