Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success
I am looking for a team of up to four willing volunteers to join me and enter the Central Cave (lat 39.6, lon 45.9) to retrieve Artefact of the Clever.
Start time around 20:00pm UK time an aiming to met there at around 20:30pm all set and ready to go.
Usual preparations are required and Raptors will fit inside.
Go on then.
Oh yes :thumb:
It is a small cave and i would advise that if you go in there with 4 people to not bring in any dino's. I will pass on this run as i know that cave all to well already.

OK, we'll probably leave the raptors just inside the entrance, like we did for the last cave, with a bed for quick respawns.
im in as well
OK that makes four intrepid explorers and unless there are people who really desperately want to or need to join I think we have a quorum.
Don't worry if you think you have missed out as I am sure that we'll do it again in the very near future.
Good luck. In the very likely event that you'll cop it.... Can I have your spoon collection?

or several :flirty:
So which Artifacts exactly do we still need bros?
So far we have only collected two, the Clever and Hunter.
We need a total of six so have the Skylord, Devourer, Massive and Pack left to get.
I was toying with going for the Massive one next, South-East cave. It'll be a hot one with some jumping practice required beforehand. Not sure if you can build bridges over the chasms.
Let me know when you're planning on doing that one - that'll be a short commute. :)
ill be good for it

Pretty sure you can build inside any cave man, just bring foundations?
The cave where you can find the skylord artifact (2 man max in that cave) i already placed down some thatch stuff to make the jumps easier.
I left it there, you can also decide to remove it afterwards ofcourse, but incase people want to go back and do it again i would advise to leave it there if it doesn't block something important.
OK so are there three people willing to have a go at the South-East cave this Friday?
You'll need Calien Soup, medical brews, stimberries/stimulants,cooked meat and lots of water, I'd guess a couple of water jars or canteens. Plus spares to store in a cupboard at the start as you won't be able to recover anything you lose in the lava.
Apparently a Pteranodon can fit inside and could be useful for plucking people out of the lava if they fall in and Dimos may be good for protection.
20:10pm-ish start meeting at Pens? We can stroll along the beach from there and admire the sunset.
Me please (I may also bring my torchbearer if ok?).
Not sure I know about the soups and brews but will learn up and craft in time. I'll also set up a storage chest just inside our outside the cave.
If you could prepare the way for us Pen that would be most kind, probably best to have a floor, bed and cupboard just inside the cave.
So Pen and torch bearer makes two. Room for one more.
Torchbearer may not come so perhaps two more and either me or torchie will observe.
I forgot that Sulky has put his name on the list so we have Sulks and me, with a possible Pen and Torchie.
Stuck in traffic. May bee a lllitte late. Sorry.
Friday the 25th we will go into one of the hardest caves in game at the moment.
Carno Island!
Specially for this cave run i have build a small base on Carno Island, where our birds can be save and we can respawn and repair if needed.
As Snooks is away for a bit and he normally did the cave runs i am taking over for this one and want a nice organised group for this one as it might be a hard one.
After this one there is only one cave left and that is where Sithy has build his stuff.
So who is up for the run and who is able to make some stuff people will need that will come along.
Am aiming for 5 maybe 6 people to do this one.
We need:
Stacks of Cooked Meat
Stim Berries
Medical Brew
Fria Curry

Carcass?
I'm in.
sorry guys but ill have to give this a miss :sad:
That is another cave done.
First of: No one important died, our pack mule stayed alive :yahoo:
As posted before there was a sort of hospital build in advance for this run, where we could repair, respawn etc. if needed and to keep our birds save while the group was having a laugh in the cave it self.
Was a funny cave run and i want to thank: Oldie, Sneaky and Lib for joining me on this run to get the artifact.
Now it is just one more cave we have to do to be able to summon the big spider, but also with the incomming patch we might have a bigger challenge on our hands but we will have to find that out as there will be new caves and some might change.
Thanks again and up to the next one :devil:
Was great fun and the most tense (for me at least) yet.
Lib was horrified when he tripped and fell in the lobby :D First death in I don't know how long.
Grim died taking one for the team - a cloud of bats so thick even his diamond-encrusted metal iron-man replica suit couldn't handle :D
Sneaky missed a tricky jump on the return to the surface - his stuff plus the artefact lost below :sad:
The pack mule took it all in his stride :flirty:
Thanks for the excellent prep-work, Grim :thumb:
Well out of the blue Sithy and myself went into the last cave.
Well that is by far the hardest cave so far, (the 2 new once are insance ofc).
In the end we did it, we got the artifact!
We both went in, and had no clue where to go. The ground part of the cave was easy for the both of us, but the main thing in the cave is all underwater and that part is insane.
Might be we where only with the two of us but at least we had alot of fun/laughs and some deaths but in the end we got at the end (well Sithy did i died a few meters infront of it)
I lost 2 sets of weapons and gear, Sith lost 1 set, but in the end that was worth it.
As now we both know where to go and what it takes to do that cave run.

Popped over to one of the towers yesterday to check the offering pedestal.........
It's asking for 8 artefacts.

Just checked the wiki, they added the 2 new artifacts aswell to summon the big spider, which aint really fair as those two new caves are a bit out of our league.
Gives you guys a challenge :D
Tomorrow (the 16th) Carno cave will be done again.
At the moment:
Sn00ks
Snokio
joining that havn't done it yet.
Standing by if needed:
Lib
Grim
I restocked the staging area at carno island. So there is stuff to repair armor and weapons and some spare armor, water jars etc.
Turrets are placed on the roof and only need to be turned on when you get there for defense of the birds.
The fridge has no food at the moment so you will need to bring that your self.
