As Rich Dirt walked back in using the back door everything was the same as when he left. He had seen a kitchen behind the bar so that's why he only brought potatoes with a little bit of salt.
The bag was quite big so he was using two hands to bring it in. And just before he looked towards Michael and the Ursine, he quickly had to bend his body back otherwise the water bolt would have hit his face.
There was an absolute moment of silence as everyone fearfully looked at Rich. Only M...

Everything was so hazy, and I felt so weak, but I could feel my strength returning quickly. I looked around and saw that everyone was in the same situation similar to me. It looks like we are all alive.
What troubled me was how Bert looked. He looked so starved and weak. How long were we under his hibernation spell? Then I heard someone speaking from outside.
“Can someone please answer me or otherwise I will have to treat you as hostiles.”
Who was that ...

Walking down the road in my full armour made me feel safe and strong. On my back was a backpack full of arrows and strapped to it was a round shield. On my waist were my usual dagger, knife and my quiver where my strongest short bow lay.
This time there was no sword on my hip instead there was the zombie basher that they made a while back. I was actually quite excited to use it.
I did some stretches and some quick runs to get used to my armour better. Like that time passed quickly...

During the end of the fall and the beginning of the winter, I focused on three things. My main focus was making the armour. The first thing I did was start making steel ingots.
I started by making the armour mix ingots and then the weapon ones until I ran out of leaves and acorns. The days went by quickly while I did this. Finally, there was only the regular iron ore left which took another few days to finish making into Crucible steel.
With this, I was able to get my metal ...

After taking the morning quite easy I put together the best combat gear I could and started to head quickly towards the village. The cold was really doing its job now as the grass started to turn yellow, but I did notice that my land was a bit greener for some reason. I moved quickly and came to the village without any problems.
The problems begin when I noticed the gate. Two of the hinges were broken...

Last night went a bit longer than I would have liked, but it was also nice to catch up on everything. Goose was quite happy to see me, and he already had quite a lot of feathers on him. I am guessing that in a month or so he will be ready to fly, although who knows what the weather will be like by that time.
I had to tell the war stories that happened, but what surprised me was the response to them. In this world, it seems war was quite commonplace, especially battles between monsters, ...

While walking back I focused on my energy which has changed a lot with the new traits. It is now completely confirmed that energy storage also added some energy regeneration, otherwise I would have to wait for days for it completely fill up. While the wait is longer now about a day to get it filled it’s still a lot quicker than it should have been.
This amount of energy helped me level up my body skill a lot taking it to 23 still a bit shy of the target of 25 that I will need, but sti...

I’m pretty sure that I fell asleep after that because now when I woke up, I was feeling a bit better, and the sounds of the party had ended. Looking around I notice my sword and armour. I could see that the sword had held up quite good, but it still had quite a lot of nicks in it that I needed to be fixed.
Seeing my armour made me sad. The armour was completely wrecked, and it would take a long time to make a new one, especially the chainmail, but I guess it will need to be done becau...

Running as fast as I could I tried to look for the path that they might be using. Luckily it seems that some goblins are protecting it and thanks to my animal sight I was able to pick them out, otherwise, I might have missed the entrance.
After a few quick shots with my short bow, the small group of goblins are dead, while I never stopped moving as fast as possible as I slipped into the path. It was well-sized. I still had room to use my two-handed sword but it was narrow enough that my...

As Stebs Soot, Chief of the goblins made it to the waterfall site he went to get a report from the garrison that was here to understand more about what has happened and why they were not informed about the enemy finding out about this place to cross the river.

I looked at the first arrows to land amongst the enemy. Each arrow split into 6 ones that landed on mass into the goblins that were moving towards us. Usually, this number of enemies would mean that we will die soon. A goblin force with more troops wins, this was a known fact amongst our race.
Yet a strong commanding voice of the human sounded out and told my tribe members to prepare their throwing weapons for the right moment. Yet the ...

Emma looked around at the sauna resting room, it was too cold to stay out on the porch so after a session in the heating room they were all sitting on the bench in the resting room. Today was a difficult day for them as Arthur finally was able to talk them into going to the dungeon. “What do you guys think Rich is doing right now?” Emma asked this question in a tired voice.

Looking around to see who else needs immediate attention I found chaos. My commanding voice bloomed out to get everyone’s attention. First, I got everyone that was lying down wounded properly organized into straight lines because currently, they were just in a big mess.
It seemed that an old goblin couple and their daughter were the reason for this medical tent. They seem to be the healers of the goblin tribe.
At this moment I did not care who would listen and were willing to he...

I went and greeted the army command and the Chief and let them know what was happening closer to the enemy. Then I started to explain my plan in further detail about making the dam and what that meant.
At first, there was a lot of pushback because we didn’t have the workforce as every goblin was working on making supplies for the war effort. But I dissuaded their worries quickly by showing that we had a huge workforce correctly just training. The dam will be a simple one just a lot of...

I was woken up by someone trying to sneak into my tent. I let him come a bit closer before I threw a rock at him but slowly so as not to hurt him. The frightened yell was quite funny, and I congratulated him on making it this far into the camp without being noticed.
Before going to dinner yesterday I gave the infiltrators orders to try to sneak into the encampment but also gave notice to the guards that it was happening. So, I’m quite surprised someone actually made it so deep in.

My planning was interrupted by the chief as he extended his hand toward me. I took it and we shook on the deal that we made, it felt important.
They wanted to leave because they needed to go back as quick as possible, but I quickly explained that I needed their help as I can’t carry everything by myself. I will need to give every goblin here some things to carry back.
They accept quickly enough so I brought them back to the bridge and started to bring out my stock of arrows and ...

The second floor was still cave-like, but it was on the edge of becoming something man-made. After the trap came the first room. The mobs were still rabbits but now they were twice the size of regular rabbits and the first room started with four of them.
Two were with horns and two were with plates. I had switched back to my shield and javelin but now contemplated making the switch back to the bow again.
The problem was I could practice my bow outside, but it was a lot harder to f...

The chief’s tent, my tent was full of goblins. The human's plan worked quite well, and we were able to keep the southern encampment from trying to expand any further thanks to the incredible efforts of the scouts and warriors, but our ambitions undid their hard work.
The idea to get new female goblins from the other tribes and encampment was a brilliant idea yet we should have heeded the warnings of the human.
We were able to get a lot of female...

“Hi there, little guy. Let’s go and set you up a nice home for you.”
I took it into the main house where I gathered some string, fabric and a few wood pieces, using those to make a nest. When placing it inside the nest I had a quick flash of it always having my back.
“How about Goose little one? Your name will be Goose.”
Opening up my stats again I looked at the new section that now listed Goose as a bonded animal.

For that, we started by making a version of it from wood but for that, we needed to steam the wood pieces so we can bend them into the correct shape.
During that time, I fill them in on what I learned from the adventurers and my thoughts on it and why I wanted some time alone to think about them.<...

A few hours later I let them take a break as I serviced the scythes. Thanks to today's sun the cut grass can be turned in a few hours so it can dry from the other side as well.
During the downtime, they will be building hay drying racks. I showed them where to get the right types of dry logs and how to build them into a triangular prism shape that has three supports on its sides. Those keep the hay off the ground so the wind can keep drying the hay.
