Cataclysm: Innawood "Centinel" | CDDA Ep 49

clad in kite and armor with iron shod quarter staff and hand as thousands of tiny portals tear open around her she has fought this fight before and she will do it again not because she wants to for certainly she doesn't but because she must and so with that let us prepare to fight kia ora legionnaires rikon here and welcome back to cataclysm in a word we are here with hill mabaron we are currently waiting atop our cave for a split second the world is overlaid with a vast empty void no surprises there and as of yet we haven't seen any new creatures appear oh wonderful blood everywhere around us we're awake so we must have been asleep for a moment with a star from what must have been a violent and horrifying daydream her body aches as if the wounds were real and uh yeah we're feeling pain we are certainly feeling those wounds well we might not be seeing any extra dimensional creatures yet but we are seeing crows i know ominous right it may be those crows that ate our crops in the last episode let's see they are flying at the moment one is in the air and one is on the ground so yeah they can fly over our fence we can stop other things well or maybe we can't because a squirrel was in there but yes i think it was probably the crows that came for a munch ah there we go a swarm structure it was always here right it's falling okay so i think it must be pretty close to us right now or not perhaps it was just up on one of the trees or something like that and it's dropped down hard to tell but right now it's actually a little injured and it's further away from where we are currently but i imagine it will probably make its way on over towards us right now i think the safest space for us to stay in is right here right in the center as we wait let's just uh put our safe mode back on oh and it's immediately triggered by the swarm structure so how close are you now you're not getting any closer do we want to go and fight this thing ideally we would do it out here and we can see that the sun has been snuffed out okay well we're not seeing it anymore so let's go put safe mode back on and continue to weight helmet as yet again we experience more nightmares and more pain our pain shot up really high then and there we go okay oh boy so the bad thing about being in pain is that uh it does drop down a few of our skills and the sort of structure has done substance the absence intensifies and now all around us there are what are they are these are these absences i think they are no there's an absence over there i have no idea what's on the ground around us currently unless it is something nope but we can't move we cannot move ha interesting and frightening are we bound somehow nope uh okay this is more than a little concerning we're surrounded by something underneath all of that mess but right now we cannot move i don't like that oh there we go yeah we were held we were suspended in time that is even more concerning yup the absence intensifies an empty space around you it suddenly feels emptier than it should possibly be we can't move while that's happening and now we have memories and there's quite a few of them many of them seem to have just dropped it down and i think the absence is here it is okay now we have these memories close by the shade of a human body reaching towards you like it needs help though it has no eyes you feel as though it's steering through you and so oh boy we can hear a voice speaking out take my hand but where is that voice coming from hard to tell we strike out clobbering in memory as it disappears striking again and again the memories are pushed back away from us as the absence freezes time don't think anything else can get closer to us while that's happening we hear a voice again i don't wanna die okay there we're ready and more blood severe pain now as we strike down yet another memory the absence is close now we strike at it with a critical no less let's see oh we're gonna need to do more than that faking strikes we try again and again to hit it and for an instant we feel the absences hunger upon you i see it doesn't want to be an absence from the south west and below we hear a voice it'll be over quick and another come on come on they can help us people throughout time and space we think not good we hear another voice hello hello as we feel stretched as if part of us was elsewhere we're not solid enough to affect matter and our equipment falls through uh does it because we still have it right now oh no we don't i take that back they tumble to the floor are we still we are still incorporeal i don't know how long that's gonna last for i don't think it can hurt us while we're incorporeal right what are the full effects of that you're not quite fully here okay well we can kind of work with that right yeah it can't affect us oh maybe not it still is affecting us seemingly we feel it's hunger upon us as our feet slip on the blood we try to get a little bit of distance between us and it and then we smell an entirely new smell like nothing we have smelled before we can't quite decide whether it's good or bad memories all around us are disappearing as we're frozen in space helmer halfway through running trapped in a moment in time okay that's fine still in corporeal no okay we have substance so let's run over and get first of all and most importantly our weapon iron shop quarter staff we grabbed it we start to strike trying to hit this thing down and there we go it disappears let's quickly try and get back our equipment on if we can one by one we start to put our equipment back on just piece by piece here and i trust that actually these layers are not working out at all so for the most part they seem to there we go that should work out okay that's better the integrity of space-time is violated you don't say we might be in pain but we don't actually have any injuries right now but we've got a swarm structure right here we strike at it doing a fair amount of damage and from that swarm structure a number of twisting blades emerge now the blades we can strike down without too much trouble well i say that you're cut in ways worse than physical i don't like the sound of that i imagine it's just creating us to have a greater deal of pain so the question is do we keep on striking at these blades or do we try and take down the swarm structure i think we just go for the swarm structure look at all of those attacks as the blades continue to strike [Music] our stats we've got nothing right now but this thing is nearly dead surely we can do something to it and indeed we can as our stamina our life force everything that we are is taken from us there is one twisting blade left okay we can breathe but we can barely lift our own limbs right now our awareness is fine we are fresh but we have zero on everything right now yeah okay winded as well let's try and catch our breath oh an impossible shape yes let's stop okay what are you a twisted shape floating in mid-air its angles don't seem to quite add up it hurts to look at you can see through it not as if it was transparent but as if it isn't quite fully there sure okay we're relying on our weapon more than anything right now there's a few things that we missed out there a tall figure quickly fades in and out of existence leaving us with a vague impression of malice so we know that friend we've experienced them before and of course the impossible shape we can't quite get a clear view of it but it's here in front of us right now and it is already injured we try to strike at it and we are still doing damage even though even though we have next to no strength we've got sentinel oh a hundred monsters killed well that'll do it we are a sentinel okay breathing heavily we need to try and get back our stamina let's put safe mode back on uh the swarm structure is close enough that it's going to be a problem okay for a split second the world is overlaid with a vast alien landscape with building sized plant structures all around us and then at empty and ruined city it was there almost for a moment built to a vastly different scale than those on earth so not home but we are seeing visions of different realities oh boy and that high-pitched squeal and that's new okay smoke everywhere a thick mist yeah through tiny pinpricks in space but it is dissipating as well oh fantastic another swarm structure oh look at that okay well i think we let it come to us or we try to go to it and we just continue to try and strike this thing down because it seems to be doing as it says a different kind of damage to us just like that we have got rid of it but yeah having no strength no dexterity no intelligence no perception nothing that ain't great plus i think these memories are actually gonna be able to hurt us a little bit more so we strike out as quickly as we can towards the mall but we're okay that figure was there again a voice it's so cold we can hear choirs crying a different voice put a doubt we can talk about this and more smoke what a time we're having up here as yup more blood is uh spilt and i don't know if it actually physically is helmer's blood because she's not anemic but you imagine uh if there is that that would not be great the sun is gone again we wait we're actually getting a little bit of our stamina back which is nice and then memories many memories emerge and our quarter staff is nearly broken yeah that thing okay it's been doing great work for us but i don't think it's going to be able to do much more damn oh boy that's a that's a lot of smoke we can't really do anything about that other than just try and find a gap and waiting it there are memories around us i'm trying to see what other creatures there are not seeing many others then again our perception is terrible right now so we might be missing them more blood wonderful right now we are kind of managing and there's one of the watches a giant eye in the sky ah in an impossible shape well i don't want to say goodbye to this staff but this might be the last of what it's able to do as we strike and we make it disappear even just going downstairs and grabbing the cudgel might be the right call but i'm afraid if we go down we're not going to be able to get back up again like if we're gonna fight this is it up here we do have a knife actually you know what let's do that um we're going to activate the spare strap put that back on there okay it might be completely destroyed at this stage we can we can repair it downstairs but yeah for now i think we're just gonna have to take the carving knife out yeah let's activate that we are going to use the holster we're going to draw out that carving knife we're just going to get ready if anything comes towards us we're going to start trying to stab with a handmade knife that's this is fine totally fine smoke ancient cities you know good times just a regular day here at the dawn of time an impossible shape okay well here we go then so okay we can get okay strikes with the carving knife in is it damaged not yet that's good we can work with that there's a swarm structure falling down somewhere which means that it's just kind of spawned nearby all the colors have inverted for a moment we keep on awaking from these daydreams and the way i kind of see hillmer right now is that she's just in a in a state you know capable still when it comes to fighting but just in the strange dreamlike state of mind not really controlling her body just running on survival mode we see another overlay tiny featureless circular room as we hear those distant squeals again and more smoke always more smoke the moment is feeling thick it's not over yet and those swarm structures are still close one's in our field now we can't have that we're definitely gonna try and take care of it it's just a question of whether or not we go down now well i guess that answers it no we're gonna take care of this swarm structure first that could actually be the same one for all we know oh boy a good strike okay the twisting blades they are attacking us and i think really what they are doing to us right now is just weakening us more and more slowly but surely bring us down to the state where yeah everything is zero we are over incumbent because we have no strength whatsoever right now let's see is it still down there okay it is well we can't have that can we let's take care of this one first we need to make sure that we're actually striking the right thing the swarm structure in the center and for whatever reason they don't seem to be able to do much more to us than just what they've been doing oh boy stamina is not good though let's see climb down oh boy yep should have known that was going to happen okay we're slammed against the charcoal kiln so the reason why i jumped down on top of this is because we wouldn't be falling as far however it was still enough to damage us yeah with no strength nothing i should have expected as much oh boy the impossible shape gets in quite a few attacks there we get enough on it and what is that what okay okay there is something strange over there and i don't know what it is yet but as soon as we can see again we're gonna investigate what is that alien grass okay an area of something that almost looks like grass the blades are serrated and move on their own well that's new and it's next to our bloody farm along with an absence okay great wonderful let's start striking at us gotta hope that we can get something in here i don't think it's gonna it's just pain and a shifting mass okay a small shifting mass floating in mid-air i think we have seen that before we'll strike it down the absence we just do not seem to be able to hit until we do okay let's keep at it ah of course of course all right well we know that the absence is capable of doing that we can't really run right now though we just have to wait until oh we are corporeal again already let's grab what we need to picking back up the carving knife let's continue to strike at the absence until we get lucky another good strike okay lots of misses in between and how do you strike nothing somehow we do let's get everything back on helmet okay yet again let's go and swap them round what a time another impossible shape fine then that was enough there oh make it disappear for a moment i think that'll do it come on now i don't really want to get blood all over our field we might not have much of a choice we still have that swarm structure we've lost sight of for a moment and oh the grass is gone so it's not a permanent fixture that's good to know at least okay you're up to the north east huh are we going to be able to just kind of slog over towards it maybe we have lots of these other things coming at us along the way and i don't want to go too far because while we have been able to handle these things so far there is a chance that there might be things that come out that we cannot handle oh great frozen in time yet again by an absence and uh yeah there is a chance that it could strip us of our equipment yet again and sure enough it does but i think because we are so slow right now we're so weakened that we don't actually stay incorporeal for all that long yup there we go already we should be able to grab that and just get back to stabbing this thing yet again it gets us we drop that carving knife to the ground ah this is getting worse well we got it back and strike down the impossible shape we've got that alien grasp yet again wonderful let's keep on striking it take the absence out of existence there we go and let's get everything back okay still two swarm structures i think they need to go two impossible shapes first we stab at them taking down the shape as blood is spilled if we are getting anemic from this i'd be very concerned and honestly i i don't know if we'll be able to tell how much longer is the storm gonna rage on for and can i get this swarm's attention where are you i can't see anymore but now there is alien grass between us and home it's not great and the sun's out of course it is let's just wait then gather our stamina and just hope this thing is going to pass the moment is not over yes not by a long shot seemingly okay where is this thing down to the south so to the south we will go the sun's out now okay it's doing something to us from a distance we're gonna have to climb over this fence ah can't do that with a carving knife huh all right oh we actually have to wield our carving knife with both hands right now that's how weak we are yeah we are not going to be able to climb this thing so let's just try and go around then that'll have to do for now okay there it is he was trying to teleport to us before but it couldn't uh we're okay oh boy that's it i think that's it no portals the world is steady okay hot damn so while we only got mildly physically damaged from that i mean it was us climbing off the roof that did it i think we have other effects that we might need to worry about in the long term for one we've got blood everywhere which isn't super nice how is everyone doing here hmm well i hope let's check in on the hatchlings okay uh yeah there's there are quite a few of them uh-huh and many of them are um not not our friends yet uh we need to swap positions thank you okay so severe pain let's just go and drink some of not the ammonia no we should ah there we go blue bark tea so the shelf life on this is indefinite it will make us a little bit sick from what we know so far but that will help just kind of diminish that pain that is that is the hope here also i think we can probably get away with taking off some of our armor as well so let's just go start dropping off actually you know all of our armor really that'll have to do for now and i cannot remember whether or not we were working on boots downstairs but i imagine we probably were oh look at that we're tired i think we should probably sleep yeah we've earned it um i don't think we're going to bandage anything right now i think we're just going to keep this carving knife in our hand we've got no stats at all i just gotta hope that when we wake up everything will be alright okay things are slowly returning ah you awaken from a nightmare this wasn't the end of the world all those innocents you've murdered we're feeling it we're feeling it and we actually ah interesting saw something that hurts to remember so obviously that's from the portal storm but we also had a vivid nightmare a nightmare that yeah we've been killing innocence this whole time and that it isn't the end of the world well some of our stats are recovering it is slow going but they're kind of there our strength is just nothing i imagine that helmet is just withered right now slowly her body is returning to her but most of it has been whisked off into some additional or side on dimension to our own weird stuff weird weird stuff and we're still tired i think we just awoke because it was a nightmare so we are just going to have smoked meat for now to keep it nice and simple um we're still in severe pain so we could have some willow bark tea to help with that so let's do that that's gonna make us sick whether or not we can hold down water we should be able to so let's just start to drink okay and i think we're just gonna go straight back to sleep yeah okay our strength is returning everything else seems to be coming back to us that's good the pain is starting to diminish okay we're back where we were and everything else is starting to recover yet again be awake from another nightmare forced to watch as your loved ones are being executed yeah well helmet did lose loved ones to the migos she didn't see it all happened but she certainly heard it we're still tired but we have some of our ability back ah we can breathe let's eat we need to try and keep up our strength as much as we can we're slated still and we're just in mild pain for the time being okay i'm gonna stick my head downstairs and just see where we're at 18 on the boots so they are certainly going to need a little bit more time and speaking of time what is the time of day we can't actually tell inside but i think if we pop our head out we should be able to get something of an idea is our blood still all over the field oh it is it is the dead of night right now so we could probably get away with sleeping some more i feel like you've earned a helmet we need to repair the staff that's going to be a priority for us we need to try and finish off those boots as well ah okay still tired helmet awakes from a nightmare about being eaten alive by something terrible yeah this this is uh this is sticking with us i love it i love it i i do enjoy that it is a different consequence to just taking damage this is a different kind of damage that we need to deal with now and we're dealing with it slowly but surely we are going to get ourself back to health i think that's enough water for now that should probably do it and there is light downstairs so we can look at working on those boots let's just chuck on our backpack for now 105 items in their backpack that seems excessive oh it's uh it's seeds and whatnot the bone flute as well good good you know what i think before we work on the stuff downstairs i would like to try and see if we can repair our staff so we're going to activate this candle here to get a little bit of light and we should have a blacksmith repair kit yeah we do okay so we wanted to try and repair the quarter staff so we need scrap metal to be able to do that okay so if we just hit nine to disassemble we're going to disassemble one of the chunks of steel there we go okay just the one for now that'll do it we're getting warm yeah we are we're not really wearing much else if anything i guess we'll just have to live with that make sure that we stay hydrated while we're doing this but yes blacksmith repair kit and let's repair that quarter staff please okay so we won't say until reinforced because uh actually our success chance ain't great but the damage chance is still zero so we should be able to do this without damaging it so we'll say until a success there we go that's a little bit better so yet again we're just gonna keep on working on it and that's it okay fantastic it's actually back to full health ah quarter staff you have done us well very happy about that so now let's pop downstairs we can probably extinguish the candle and just finish working on the boots that we have down below okay got to about 37 not too bad we'll pop up have some dinner and then have another good sleep hopefully this time no nightmares well not getting rid of our tiredness i think that's going to be with us for a decent while but healthy living seems to have some rewards nice hello in saying that we also awaken in a cold sweat relieved that we weren't being eaten alive by evil twinkies a twinkie it's been a long time helmer it's been a long time craving twinkies that's fair that's fair i'm surprised she can still remember what they taste like but you know for now it's smoked meat and water it's not the same it certainly is not i would love to be able to bake you a cake hilmer but we're not quite a cake stage yet let's head back downstairs and keep on working well we've been playing our bone flute all day we're at 78 on these boots and yet again we have another opportunity to rest the sun has set and so we're gonna make the most of that to try and see if we can have a good night's sleep whether or not that's gonna be possible well we'll see how hilma feels in the morning no the answer is no her body is doing good but her mind not so much she awakens from a nightmare about the cataclysm not having happened and being stuck in an office job probably back at the rescue headquarters just waiting for a call out another life helmet maybe there's another universe out there and what she is still doing just that for now though it's gonna be the same as yesterday and the day before that she's gonna eat and then head down into a dark damp cave continue working on some boots and finally the boots are done a full set of tightness armor not bad humor not bad that armor will indeed keep you safe that's one step done and she's been healing this whole time as well her head is nearly fully recovered from the fall on top of here and you know seen as a bit of time has actually passed we might be able to go and check on the situation outside other than the blood oh boy there's next to nothing left we've still got some crops in the ground but most of them have been eaten and i imagine it's by bloody crows could be the aphids there are still aphids in the region but we have seen a fair few crows around here as well disappointing incredibly disappointing the farm life is not so easy out here as a tillman now we might be able to build things like scarecrows i haven't actually had a look yet doesn't seem like it so i'm not quite sure what the answer is going to be for us when it comes to that whether or not we could keep some animals up here and whether or not those animals might spook some of the other creatures that would come down here i can't be certain but we'd also have to make sure that those animals aren't going to trample the crops so they can't be anything too big maybe there is a solution out there maybe i just don't know what that is yet for now for helmer let's just um inspect this mill there is actually some more capacity in here well okay let's get that filled and get milling oh okay it's taking the flour good let's go put the rest of these cooked acorns in there and get to work excellent 600 flour oh boy well looks like we could nearly grab all of it looks like there's a bit here that we should probably bring inside you know what let's chuck some smoked meat in there we need to put a little bit more charcoal in too though that should do it we could grab it from all the way over there excellent ah not quite enough 88 is what we need so let's just do 50 for now turn it into dehydrated meat there you go everything else let's just gather it on up let's keep those seeds out here for now everything else is coming with us you know what let's try and do a little bit of organizing and see if this still works out okay for us seemingly yeah the only thing that's still here is just the blunderbuss and i'm okay with that staying there for the time being well i'm sure that that encounter atop the cave went differently than many of you were expecting it certainly did for me i have to say but i'm glad that hilma is feeling okay that uh for the most part she's all right but there's still a lot of blood up here that's her blood that's real it's tangible this is something that has actually happened here and that's why i think hilma can't shake it that's why these memories these nightmares are still plaguing her she's tired she's exhausted but she's continuing on as must we all and so for that reason i hope you'll be joining me in the next episode and a reminder once again this episode is the last episode of cataclysm the last episode of helmer here on this channel the next episode of helmer this friday's episode is going to be on the new channel and if for some reason you've missed
