A horrible day for Nightmares: Day 112.5...
Well poopshin.
I laid my head down to rest once we got to Home-Tree, deciding to take a break from accompanying Sif on her demolition spree. I closed my eyes as she set off to grab a Fishie...
And opened them to her returning with one. Then she went to Dalek, and finally managed to get a good Cascade configuration. And then she cooked some more of those Bass, to stock up for when she needs a full belly.
The morning came, and she went to grab Nathan yet another Fish. It took a while to get caught, which was odd... Oh well. That part isn't as important.
It was afterwards, when she took out the Javelins and the Buffs, that I realized that I was in a dream, and hadn't gotten away with a good night's sleep. Sighing in resignation, I watched as Sif double checked her gear, Molten Armour her suit of choice as she hopped down to the MCT, and rode off to the Ice Hut.
She made a little tunnel to help get too and from the Hut easier, and set her cell to the bed there. That was new. she then checked her Potions one more time... And realized she forgot the most important, Healing.
A quick stopover at Home-Tree to fix that, and it was off to the Dungeon we went. It is much faster to use the Minecart Empress to get to travel, then going on foot in the Hot Place. Down the Shaft, and off to the Edge.
Wait.
That can't be right.
It was the same as always, which is to be expected. Recurring nightmare, and whatnot. But I just realized... Sif hadn't ever reached the spot where the Shaft let out, except in my nightmares. Yet, when she finished the Shaft... It was the same. How?
With that freaky thought in mind, back to *it*. Same throwing of a dolly, same appearance of *it*. Sif ran, drank her Buffs, and began throwing. That part went the same as last time, at least.
The different point was at the BAMs. Before, she would jump down at Home-Tree, and try and run to it left or right. This time, she fell down at the Icy Hut, and had a shorter run, meaning more Javelins to it's face. Second BAM, un-set the Bed, and off to the Jungle using the Mincart Express, to land a bit in front of *it*. Sneaky!
This turned an uphill battle into a close struggle. On the third BAM, *it* was screaming and roaring in rage, hurtling along as tiny chunks kept falling off. She hurtled along in the Minecart, and checked her Map... And she shook her head with a sigh, and the dream ended.
I blinked, and I was back at Home-Tree. Sif was pocketing her reward for her morning Fish delivery, and went to grab the Javelins again. Strange, the dreams, the nightmares, usually start back up from when I nod off. It's nothing, I'm sure.
Prepped up again, Sif went with the Fossil Armour instead. Less durable, but helps her throw them Javelins better. Prep the Ice Hut, down the Dungeon Shaft, Same ol' scenery. Then the unearthly scream as *it* is summoned by the burning Dolly.
BAMed at almost the exact same spots as before. Ice Shaft, Jungle Shaft, too late. *It* had less chunks remaining each time though, which was good... Hmm.
Apparently my dreams thought so too, because ROUND 3. Huh. One round the first night, two the second night, and three this time... I really hope this isn't a pattern.
She started with Fossil Armour this time, and swapped to Molten after the first BAM. She also had to switch straight to the Middle shaft for the first BAM, as *it* got so far ahead... Still same result though.
We are now on the Minecart Express after the third BAM, trying desperately to finish it off if we can catch up. We won't. Sigh... Time to wake up, I guess.
