Chapter 16
Kali returned home, and she noticed a mountain of logs inside the cave, and some new tusks when she stored her feathers, she kept the fruits inside the basket then brought it to the camp at the end of the cave, she planted it next to the bed then looked at Nina who was making water for the Bath, it was still not filled, she is not even close, since she can make just a couple of liters a sec.
"Hi, Nina, I am back!" Kali chuckled at Nina when she saw her jump again. She walked to Nina, to see how much she still needs to fill it, "Wow, you can make a lot more water now "Kali praised Nina, making Nina smile, then turn to Kali and saw she also was injured a little, but some Drops of Healing got those fixed.
" of course, since it is level 5 now, it got another increase of how much water it can create at the same time." Nina explained then showed the skill.
| (Uncommon) Create Water Level 5 (Active) |
|---|
| Create Fresh Water. 1 Mana= 5 Liter 10 Mana= 50 Liter |
"you have increased it by a lot I see"Kali said, while seeing the increase, since it as just 1 liter before."yeah it makes it go way faster"Nina explained. Since she can now make 50 liters a second, it will be literally 50 times faster than before, and it will only get faster when she leveled it up more.
"So, I see Annika is busy"Kali said, since she saw the Logs.
"Haha, yeah she has been getting logs for hours now." Nina laughed then explained that Annika wanted to make the cave more homely, since we are planning on staying a while.
"I am going to create my arrows,"Kali explained then walked away to her corner workshop. She made arrows for about 10 minutes till Annika came back from another log run, then saw that Kali was back.
"Kali, you are back, I could use your help with something if you have the time,"Annika said.
"What do you need help with?" Kali asked, so Annika explained she needed some tools to make boards of these logs and needed other tools."i can make most with Bone, but Nails need to be of Metal, Bone is not good with that"Kali explained, since Annika asked for those too, but needs to think of something else"let's eat and ask Nina, maybe she knows something"Kali suggested, with Annika agreeing.
Both girls walked to the camp and already saw Nina on the bed meditating, but when they got close she stopped,"so my girls are back I see"Nina said with a smile, making her girls chuckle. Then they sat down on the bed and Kali emptied the basket with fruit on the bed." Nina, can you [Appraise] those for us?" Kali asked then explained how she got them.
| Appraisal Successful! |
|---|
| Fruit of Lesser Life (Ripe) A fruit filled with the power of Life, and can be eaten safely when ripe. Only 2 work per living being. Increases Vitality by 10 |
"ok, we got 5 of them,"Kali said then put two in front of Annika and two in front of Nina, and one for herself."now before you yell at me, let me explain my reason for this, Nina is a mage, the extra Health will really help her survive, and Annika has a body that increased it by 10% extra, so she could also use more, and I am specialized in speed, I don't really need it, it would help you two more than me." Kali explained with a very reasonable argument.
" I agree" Annika agreed first, and after that Nina also agreed, all the girls took them immediately since they were also hungry, and they did not know how long they would stay ripe.
When the girls ate the fruits they involuntarily let out a moan, since it was tasty, but also causes a wave of warmth to go through their bodies.
"Wow, that was amazing,"Nina moaned and Annika and Kali agreed, then they discussed what to do for nails,"why not make some kind of glue instead"Nana suggested.
"That would be too weak" Annika said.
"No, it won't"Kali interrupted Annika,"there is a recipe in [Forest Crafting] that uses some herbs, and tree sap to create a long-lasting glue, it said it can last for 50 years at the least" Kali explained further, that some herbs are hard to find and the tree sap she saw but had no use for so did not get it.
"Next thing I want to mention is after we out level something by 10 levels we gain way less exp, I killed 7 goblins while returning to base and gained only 100 exp in total, before I gained as much from each one,"Annika explained,"it does change our plan with the Goblin camp, since only their leaders can give Kali and I exp now, so I want Nina to focus on killing the lower leveled ones." Annika explained further. After that all the girls said their plans for the evening.
"I am going to make those tools for you, Annika, and then make some arrows to practice archery with,"Kali explained her plan for the rest of the night.
"Filling the bath for me, I am looking forward to a hot bath,"Nina said.
"I am going to start on the logs till I get the tools, then start making a floor, I want to make this cave our base for in the future." Annika told the girls her future plan.
The girls kissed each other, then separated to do their own work.
Kali first started on some tools, she made a hammer out of wood and a piece of stone, she found stone with a good surface area to use as a hammer head, so that one was easy. Since she can not make a saw out of bone, since it would be too thin, she instead made an axe with a sharp edge to use to chop things, Annika should be more than strong enough to cut wood with it. Also, a Chisel would work, she can even make it out of bone, but to get the shape right will take a while, after that she made a wood shaver to make the wood smooth. Then brought them to Annika.
Now that the tools are done, Kali started to work on some arrows, the shaft is made of wood of course, and the fletching is made of the crow feathers, but the tip is made of bone, stone would work too, but bone is better, and she knew how to make the arrow heads with it, then made the quiver.
After she was done making 124 arrows, she started practicing with her new bow, that she made yesterday. For a target she used a log with the cut at her side, so she can use the rings as an indicator of how she is doing, then started shooting. Her first shot fired was close to the middle but after that she shot all arrows in a row, only stopping to get rid of the arrows in the log when there were too many of them, but only 73 of 124 were hitting the log the other ones missed it. But she did gain something.
| (Common) Archery Level 1 [Passive] |
|---|
| Increases Skill with shooting arrows with a bow. Increases Damage with Bows by 2% Increases Accuracy with Bows by 5% |
Now that she gained the skill she also gained some basic info about archery, making it easier to do, so she started picking up the arrows, sadly some broke, but she was expecting that, she had 106 left, so she shot those at the target but this time with the knowledge of the skill she hit way more and is getting better extremely fast, she kept shooting, getting the arrows, throwing away the broken ones, then again, again, again, and again till she did not have any arrows left they all broke, and she looked at the skill to see how much she gained, since she was too focused to check her notifications.
| (Common)Archery Level 4 (Passive) |
|---|
| increases Skill with shooting arrows with a bow. Increases Damage with Bows by 8% Increases Accuracy with Bows by 20% |
"How?" Kali whispered when she saw the skill again, she had this with [Short Blades] Too, it would level up very fast when she trained them, but her Class skills take a lot longer,'Maybe I should ask if Nina would know why?' Kali asked herself. But she decided to first make more arrow for tomorrow.
While Kali was busy at making tools, Annika was cutting logs in rough plank shape, it took long enough that Kali was done with her tools before she had enough planks, but she needed to make some wooden beams first to make the floor straight, so she did that first, using the axe to make them in the rough shape of some wooden beams, then looked at the floor to see how to make it all horizontal.
Her Skill [Construction] told her what to do so she started making the floor, it started at the entrance since that is the highest point of the floor, it took a long time, but she had a basic floor at the first 5 meters of the entrance going towards the back cave, but before going to bed she wanted to make it more secure, so she made a heavy log door, it was made of 10 logs and needed her full strength to move, if anyone can move that they have a problem, but for now it is a good secure door.
Annika decided to go to bed, she walked to the back of the cave and already saw Kali and Nina asleep, so she joined them.
