Day 62 - 65:
While chopping down some trees, a cute little baby Treeguard attacked. So I KIT him, poorly, and get back to chopping trees. On the 2nd tree, 2 more Treeguards spawn, this time a medium and large one.
Well, now my armor and helmet are wrecked and so I flee to the Beefalo. Treeguards apparently move at different speeds, depending on their size. The big one got there first and dispatched 3 Beefalo in short order. About then the other one showed up and I tried to attack the big guy, figuring the Beefalo got off some good hits and maybe I can tank him down. Uh uh. No dice. I'm down to a sliver of health and start running to another herd of Beefalo. Once they engage the big guy, I swing in and land enough hits to finish him off. Then the other Treeguard shows up and I can't get the Beefalo to engage, so I flee. I run down to the first encounter point and gather up the wool and meat, and a free Beefalo Horn. The Treeguard has not followed me, so I figure the Beefalo finally took him down. Fine with me.
Back to camp. Heal up and replace armor and weapon, start to go on a twig run. when who shows up? Crap. OK, one at a time these guys aren't too bad, and I had health and equipment, so I KIT the bastard and blamo. Then I notice that I never actually gathered any logs in the past 2 days and used up what little supply I had left replacing my Log Suit. So back to camp again to chop trees in my forest. First god damn tree spawns another 2 Treeguards.
Well, now Willow is a bit freaked out. She starts lighting little fires as I'm leading these jerks away from my camp. There go the twigs. There goes the Berry Farm. There goes... one of the Treeguards?! Nice. Kill it with fire! The living logs were all ash, but I got plenty by now. Sheesh.
So after I dispatched that 5th freaking Treeguard, I saved and quit.
After dinner, I played again. I'm a bit wary of my forest now. Seriously. I get an apprehensive feeling when I think of chopping trees. God damn I love this game.
