(slightly dramatized but most of the stuff is close to what happened i am a new player to HnH that came here from Salem)
This is the diary of the wanderings and exploration of the great cartographer Amish the Explorer. This diary contains the findings and day to day life of a cartographer of the highest caliber.
Day 1
Wow this place is amazing i spawned in a beautiful broad leaf forest. Unfortunately the wildlife does not seem friendly... within 10 minutes of finding an apple tree and deciding to take a short break to eat lunch i was assaulted by a GIANT WILD BOAR! i swear it was at least 6 feet tall and weighed 300 lbs. but as i was saying i was eating lunch and suddenly i heard snorting from a bush so i decided to investigate by throwing an apple core at the bush. This was a terrible idea because suddenly a 8ft tall 500 lbs boar came charging out! luckily as a witty and capable woodsman i knew what to do... run like a little girl screaming for a river. luckily i made it just seconds before the 10ft tall 800lbs boar could catch me and dived into the water. After a while it became bored with snorting at me and wandered off. I then continued my wandering and mapping, studying the plants and animals around me. i was able to map a significant portion of this forest but i found myself spending an inordinate amount of time studying this pine cone cow i made, seriously its a pine cone that looks like a cow this thing is amazing.
Day 2
Today i was getting really hungry but luckily i found an Ant hill. I know if someone finds this diary they might be a little more squeamish then I, but any good outdoors man realizes that ants are not only delicious but nutritious. The problem is getting around the guard ants, once again as a witty and capable outdoors man i know the solution.
Step 1 approach the Hill and hit it with a stick
Step 2 when guard ants attack you run like a little girl for a river and dive in
Step 3 for some reason ants around here then become confused and just wander around
Step 3 get your self some delicious ants
I was amazingly lucky not only did i find a few Ant larva but also a queen and a soldier! i promptly took both of them and studied them for a few hours (i still can't quiet figure out why it took me a few hours to study an ant but i always apply myself completely to a task!) I swore after just sleeping on the ground last night i would create some shelter for tonight. So i spent the rest of the evening creating a Leanto and a spruce bed. Luckily i had found a coniferous forest right next to the broad leaf forest and was able to make a nice little temporary home with a Leanto, bed, and a fence. This place will act as my headquarters while i map out the rest of the area.
Day 3
Dear Christ i heard the scariest sound ever today. I decided my diet of ants and apples need a little meat to supplement it. I had started mapping the coniferous forest today and while moving around i saw it, a wee lil rabbit and i had to have it. I started to sneak towards it with a rock in hand then snapped a twig i froze hoping not to spook it, but strangely it completely ignored me. Then i realized it this rabbit had no fear of humans, so i dropped the rock and just walked over and picked it up. It looked up at me with innocent bunny eyes and i snapped its neck, it seriously sounded like someone dropped an anvil on a turtle. But it was my tastiest dinner to date, and i found a wish bone which i intently studied for a few hours.
Day 4
I MADE A BOAT!
