POBee 107.1 - Go Bee-yond! Make the Impossible Possible!
Belissar was just admiring the bees working for a bit when suddenly he jumped.
A challenger has been fully blessed.
Gained 20 DP.
He rushed his Tower sight down to the second floor. There, he found Muuraqi kneeling before the Shrine of Bees, as wide-eyed as he was. And there, just like that, a third karnuq had been blessed. Belissar smiled.
At this point, he was extremely happy with his choice to trust the karnuq. They had significantly expanded his plant and mushroom options as they shared their resources. They had helped him build a fireproof beehouse out of stone he would have struggled to gather, much less process and transport. And, certainly not least of all, Chief Rohsuak had handled a purification that gave his bee army trouble.
Maybe it wasn’t so bad having some people around after all.
Putting that aside, however, Belissar did need to consider his defenses, and what he could do to improve them. After double checking what he had, he moved the new Gravilion flower patch to just in front of a Pit Trap by the Flower Meadow entrance. The descriptions said they could randomly make things heavier, so he figured that would make it harder for a shade to jump across a pit, or climb out of it once it fell down. That or it would make them lighter and help them soar across it, but Belissar hoped it would be the helpful option.
Beyond that…Belissar wasn’t sure. He couldn’t imagine the options he had at present working against another turtle shade. Some thorny roses didn’t seem like they would bother a shade that could resist full-speed dive stings by the soldier bees. Though, there was no guarantee the Hunger would try another turtle shade.
There was one option, though. A side effect of Chief Rohsuak setting the Flower Meadow on fire was confirmation that the fire breaks he made actually worked. So didn’t that mean that they could intentionally set the Flower Meadow on fire without putting the Bee Barracks at risk? That’d certainly be on option to take down a shade…assuming the next shade was still vulnerable to fire.
