Name suggestion: Fear
Because they were scary in dungeon and because you never call someone a chicken if they are scared…
If we’re naming the chick right now, I’d like to propose “Woodstock”.
Confirmation that bond thresholds are unlocked by building rooms, as expected. Also that Macadamia has an underground room.
Botanya is really good. Pass her the Magma Shield and her drawback is removed. Pacifist is only a limiter because we have pets now to compete for slots, though to be fair pets can’t benefit from any of the weapons and rings we’ve made. Wand of Mend fits well plus general inventory management and looting (look at that inventory space!) and if nothing else there’s little drawback to action-dash to keep up with speedy characters.
Wait, uh oh. Flytrap is immobile as an enemy, so these might be turrets. Hopefully not though, if it takes a pet slot and can’t be moved then that’s really bad.
Given that the chick has no abilities and can’t attack, we obv need it to grow up a little first.
We know Squirrel can be advanced via cheese, but he had cheese-powered abilities as both an incentive to do so and a hint of what his mechanism is. The chick currently has neither. So is it just going to be “time”? Is it worth us trying to feed it Corn when we take it with us? etc.
Might not have any corn again. Its gonna auto sell/turn into gold.
Baby chick should be called Henna
Thought: We’ve never tried smiffing a ranged weapon ring. Let’s see if we can try that.
We have confirmation that invalid item combinations won’t burn the items, so if the lack of Atk bonus keeps us from making a ring of aggression, then that’s just an action spent.
At discord someone proposed to name the small, golden chicken Nugget.
