I grabbed my pick and carefully collected the bits and as I grabbed the last little bit a small amount of sand fell through the ceiling of the grotto. I could tell this wasn't the safest place to be digging. I turned around and began to dig into the sides of the grotto a bit hoping to find some iron. After a short while my pickaxe shattered to pieces. I looked into my bag and realize that in my rush I had forgotten to bring wood of any sort. Feeling slightly discouraged by this I turned around and looked out the mouth of the grotto. All I could see where the stars and the ocean. I drew my sword and began to wait for daylight, occasionally nodding off.
At the first sign of daylight I ran as quickly as I could out of the small cramped grotto and swam as fast as I could into the ocean, not sure of what creatures would be waiting outside for me. As I suspected there was a zombie just outside waiting for me. I swam a little further from the shore as I noticed another tall black figure there too. The tall black figure didn't seem to notice me, but the zombie sure did.
Being a fish I figured that battling this zombie in the ocean wouldn't be two hard of a problem for me. Sure enough I didn't have a problem out maneuvering him on water. After he was slain I turned to see the glorious sun rising once again. I decided to play it safe and stay in the water. I took a dive or tow and just enjoyed swimming in the ocean for once. It wasn't long before I found myself back at my camp.
Thankfully the lights I left seemed to work, however there were a few jungle cats hanging around the area. I decided to quickly get to work on my shelter so I could get some decent sleep tonight. I was only a few bit of stone away from what I wanted so I went back to the grotto after I made a new pickaxe and collected some more stone. However the eerie black figure was still there. I decided not to bother him remember what happened last time and carefully tiptoed around him.
As I dug deeper down into the grotto I began to hear moaning coming from somewhere nearby. Not wanting to push my luck, I grabbed the stone I had collected and headed back to camp once more. When I returned I set some sand in the furnace to melt into glass and finished laying the foundation for my new home. After the foundation was finished, I took some of the wood I had salvaged from my old hideout and made some pillars to support the structure. It was at this time I noticed night was coming once more.
I ran back to my chest and grabbed a bed and a door and quickly began finishing the walls of my home. I didn't have time to put in the windows and finish the roof entirely. I threw out my bed and slammed the door shut just as I heard skeletons walking around outside.
The noises they were making kept me from sleeping. Trying to find where they were, I decided to open a few holes in the walls and place the windows in. As I opened the first hole a skeleton peered in and shot me. At least I knew now where he was.
I stood there, frightened, and unsure of what to do. After a moment I stood by the window, keeping an eye on the skeleton as he stared in at me. I opened another small hole in the wall and slowly inched toward it. The skeleton crept towards the opening with me. As soon as I could reach him I thrust my sword through the opening and stabbed him. He jumped back just as I stabbed him a second time. I backed away from the hole as he approached my window once more. I tried a second time to hit him with the same trick, but he seemed to have learned and managed to shoot me twice before I was able to attack.
It seemed as if he learned his lesson the first time. I ran quickly to my front door hoping he'd follow me. Sure enough he did. I swung the door open flailing my sword wildly. As my sword struck him he fell releasing one more arrow into my chest. I took a moment to catch my breath, and then went to sleep for the night.
As I awoke I heard the same strange noises that black figure from before had made. As I could only see a small portion of the outside area, I decided to finish the windows of my shelter from the inside. After I got all the windows in I cautiously checked outside to see if I could see anything walking around that might attempt to injure me. I didn't see any immediate threats so I stepped outside and did a quick survey. The only potential threat was a large spider in the nearby brush, but he didn't seem at all interested in me.
I spent the entire day building up a roof for my home and finished it the next morning. After that I moved my furnace and work table inside and then drug in that heavy chest as well. After I had moved everything I had a snack and built myself another furnace. Finally, a home fit for a fish!
