I feel great shame.
Clearly the rage I directed at this spider, the contempt I felt for it growing fat on biomass behind its cozy web was very misplaced.
This is a level one baby spider monster. It's possible it never managed to consume any biomass at all.
How pitiful.
Your existence is so pitiful!
We won't talk about your end…
I'm sorry young spider!
After my first two blasts of acid the spider was already heavily wounded, without any way to recover the damage caused by my acid, its pitifully small health pool had shrunk to almost nothing.
When I entered the nest to continue the battle it was already on the edge of death, my last shot was enough to defeat it. Being only level one, I'm sure the experience I've gained isn't much, but by consuming it (the taste was as you could imagine), I have gained two more biomass.
Once again, eyes +3 is within my reach!
With my vision finally in a non-life threateningly sucky state I'll be able to concentrate on other aspects of my body.
Maybe then I'll be able to actually fight something.
Wishful thinking! I suck!
I have to find out how I can grow into at least an adult ant. Perhaps I need to achieve more levels? Before that can happen I need to locate a place I can hunt.
