Day 5: From the Highest Mountain to the Lowest Depths

Following the success of the vertical passage from Einheim to the underground fortress, I decided that I should do the same thing from the top of the mountain that my home sat beneath. Up I climbed with very little interference. When climbing, a shovel is essential. It is much easier to create a man made dirt staircase than to try to find a natural path to the summit. Once I got to the top, I got to the edge, which was almost directly above Einheim's entrance. I had planted a tree in front of my home, so now there was a lush span of green beneath me. I counted a few spaces back and dug down just as I had before. My intention was to connect Einheim to the mountain top. Apparently I overestimated the distance, as I wound up in the underground chamber. It was interesting to have a single beam of light shine so deep underground.

I continued to customize this underground fortress. I'm quite proud of this little world I've created far beneath the surface. Occasionally, one can hear the howling of zombies and the clacking of skeleton bones. I try to either hunt down these terrors or seal off the corridors I sense them coming from if I'm too frightened to engage.
