This is part of a solo journaling RPG exercise that takes my gameplay from my Archaeologist’s Guide to Minecraft series on YouTube and writes about the experience from the perspective of my character in the game. If you’d like to see the gameplay, too, check out the link to the episode at the end of the post!
Day 2
Well, the night passed and no monsters came into my little hiding spot here, so that’s good! There are almost certainly monsters outside – I heard them in the night, though I suppose some might have burned in the sunlight. I’m not super sure why they do that, but I’m definitely also not going to question it.
I need sleep. I didn’t sleep all night because monsters, so I need a bed. A village would be cool, too, but even just some sheep for some wool would be nice!
Surprisingly there were no monsters outside my little hovel, and my goodness… I hadn’t seen the view in my panic to make a safe place to spend the night and this is just… it’s gorgeous. If I don’t find a village, I might just come back here. I could wake up to this view pretty happily, I think.
Sheep are in scarce supply. I came across a polar bear, which was a touch alarming! We don’t have polar bears in the wild where I’m from, and I’ve heard they can be dangerous. I’ll keep my distance, but this one seems okay with me (though I wouldn’t want to get closer).
I’ve also found some rabbits on the hillside, but I can’t make a bed out of their hides. They’re cute, though! It’s nice to see them here – I don’t remember rabbits in our hills back home.
I’ve finally found a sheep on top of a hill after searching nearly all day, but there’s only one, and I need more wool to make a bed! I feel badly just taking the one sheep, though I suppose it’s no different than if I found them in a group. I’d much rather find a village, to be honest, but needs must. Sorry sheep. Hopefully I can find more soon.
There’s a beehive on top of this hill, too, which might be useful in the future – I’d like to set up a small greenhouse for flowers and honey, so I’ll keep it in mind as we go.
More sheep! Seems like the rest of the herd were just down at the bottom of the hill. It’s a good thing, too, since it’s starting to get dark. Sorry sheep, but again, needs must.
I don’t like sleeping out in the open, but it works in a pinch! Don’t ask why the monsters don’t attack people in beds, even out in the open. I don’t really understand it either.
Day 3
I didn’t find a village, and I don’t like sleeping out in the open, so I think I’m going to head back to that hillside where I spent my first night. I think I can turn that into a nice little base of operations for myself as I figure out a bit more about this place (and hopefully how/why I ended up here).
It didn’t take the entire day to get back, since I could make a bit of a beeline, but it still took most the day. I think I’ll just sleep for now and maybe get started on building a better shelter in the morning.
