Ray looks around the cave and noticed that there is water in the cave. He walks over to the water and takes a drink.
"This must be connected to the lake." Said Ray.
The water looked to be 3ft deep with a radius of about 10ft. On the walls near the pond, there is shiny green moss growing. Ray uses analysis on the moss.
Moss lichen: able to heal wounds. Used in alchemy.
"I'll be able to make potions out of this moss." Said Ray.
Ray wades through the water and touched the moss. Assimilate 100lbs of moss, Ray concentrates on the moss and the moss starts to assimilate. After a short time, 100lbs of moss is assimilated off of the cave walls.
Ray heads towards the other side of the cave and noticed piles of bones lying about. Ray rummages through the bones finding nothing of value.
"All these bones but nothing more." Said Ray.
Ray decides to assimilate 100lbs of bones. After a few moments, the bones are assimilated.
Ray searches around the cave and notices that there is iron ore and copper ore in this cave. "Hmm. This cave is about a 50ft radius. I assimilated the bear 600 and the moss 100and the bones 100. That's 800lbs, I can assimilate 1400lbs." Said Ray.
Ray thinks for a moment.
"I'll assimilate stone and ore at the back of this cave." Said Ray.
Ray walks towards the back of the cave he can see iron ore and copper ore. Ray touches the wall and visualizes 1400lbs of the cave wall, shapes it like a cube, imagine a large refrigerator. He begins the assimilation process. 10%, 20%,...,100%. Completed. Acquired 1200lbs of stone, 125lbs of copper, 75lbs of iron.
"That's great lots of material for buildings and weapons. Yawn. Man, I'm tired I'll rest for a bit." Said Ray.
Ray transforms into his black bear form and lies down to sleep. He falls asleep almost instantly. After a few hours of sleeping Ray is awakened by the sounds of bats returning to the cave. Ray stretches his bear body and gets up. He looks at the returning bats and sighs, "Thanks for the wake-up call" he chuckles as he says that.
"Man, what should I do next?" Asked Ray.
Ray squats his bear butt down and thinks about his next move. After pondering for a few minutes Ray decides building his fortress should be built first.
"Athena show me the fortress blueprint." Said Ray.
"Affirmative." Said, Athena.
The fortress blueprint appears in Ray's mind.
"It's not very big but it takes a lot of material. Athena show me the basic house blueprint." Said Ray.
"Affirmative." Said, Athena.
The basic house blueprint appears in Ray's mind.
"Can I make the houses smaller?" Asked Ray.
"Yes, you can Ray." Said, Athena.
"Alright! I'm gonna build a small house first. I need to assimilate more wood." Said Ray. Ray transforms back to his Changeling form and heads out to assimilate more wood.
Ray walks around his base and assimilates 1000lbs of wood.
"Alright now I just need a good location." Said Ray.
Ray looks around and decides to build his first house by the entrance of the cave.
System notification: Feat of strength. Gain 5000 XP for each first building you create.
"Sweet so for my first house I create I get 5000 XP?" Asked Ray.
"Affirmative." Said, Athena.
Ray walks towards the cave.
Off to the left of the cave entrance, Ray bends down and place's his hand on the ground. Ray visualizes the house blueprint and adjusts the house size to 800sq feet. "Create!" Ray says out loud. A blue light circles around Ray's hand and moves away from him growing out until it covers 800sq feet In front of Ray. Then a liquid blob appears and starts to take shape of a house. After 8 minutes of forming the blue light disappears and the house is completed.
Congratulations Ray first feat of strength completed. You gain 10000 XP, 10 skill points, 10 attribute points.
Congratulations Ray for building your first house. You gain 5000 XP.
Congratulations Ray, you gained 2 levels.
"Ha, I feel stronger. I need to get back to the cave and explore it more. But first, let's check this house out." Said Ray.
One story house 800sq feet, stone floor, wooden walls, roof shaped like a mushroom, chimney. Inside very simple two rooms, first room living area with simple kitchen has a stone hearth for cooking and single counter approximately 5 feet long and 3 feet tall and some simple cabinets, no running water. The second room is a bedroom it has an opened closet, no bed yet.
"No bed or furniture. Sigh. Oh well, I'll have to create some when I get the chance." Said Ray.
Ray opens the front door and heads back towards the cave. Once inside Ray heads back to the assimilated area of the cave.
"Hmm I've got 1000lbs left of assimilation, I'll continue assimilation from here." Said Ray.
Ray walks up and touches the wall of the cave and visualize the fridge shape again. Assimilate! After a few moments, a big chunk of the wall disappears.
"Congratulations Ray you obtained 900lbs of stone, 75lbs of copper, 25lbs of iron." Said, Athena.
Ray inspects the new wall and notices that there's a gap in the left corner.
"I can't fit through here. Maybe in my lizard form." Thought Ray.
Ray transforms into his purple poison Lizard form. Ray can crawl through the gap. Once he gets through he is astonished by what he sees. A cavern the size of a football field.
"Wow, this place is huge." Said Ray. Wow, this place is huge. The sound echoed back.
Ray stopped and ducked. Ray can hear multiple chattering noises. He hides in the shadows the chattering is getting closer.
"Damn I attracted something." Thought too himself.
He notices 3 reptile creatures walking towards him.
Ray stays quiet and waits for them to pass him by. As they pass by Ray, one of the creatures notices the gap in the wall. The creature that notices the gap says something to the others and he heads into the gap and one follows him in. The third one stays back and keeps guard. Ray waits patiently. The third creature pokes its head into the gap. Ray uses analysis on the creature.
