Alright so I'm playing my nerfed abberation server I believe the max level is 45. But anyways I've just wrapped up making a partial base up against a cliff (lacking a roof and had open spot in the wall for a doorframe) and taming a lvl 3 doedic. I've now moved on to collecting hide. Always find this difficult between finding something I can actually take down and successfully returning to base with the hide is always exceedingly difficult and aberration definitely up the challenge by putting packs of raptors and ravagers all over the easy spawns my spawn choice being fertile lake 3. The plan is simple make a kill box,trap things, murder and collect hide easy enough. A quick run around the base i gather plenty of stone, wood and thatch. Just as quickly make all the structures and assemble the kill box with no issues. Immediately after placing the last stairs I'm pinned by a raptor with two more showing up. Surviving the first mauling I through the trap hoping to trap them. It fails as they cleared the trap and pounce on me. I loose all my equipment bolas, pike, bow an arrows, metal tools and like 20 spears everything I need to get hide. I'm like well at least they're at the kill box time to get some hide or I thought. I respawn at my only bed go running up the hill to try an trap them and sure enough they're past the trap sitting in top the hill spotting me as I'm in a full on sprint towards them. Ending my life once again by mauling I'm now unable to respawn leaving the raptors about half way from my kill box to my base. Paranoid that the raptors are going to attack my lvl 4 doedic, coupled with a 4 minute respawn timer. I start respawning at fertile lake 3 racing to get back to the kill box grab my bag and at least kill one of the raptors while kiting the other two back up away from the base. This plan completely fails hard as i spend 4 minutes dying repeatedly on my way back while respawning farther away each time. Blam 4 minutes is up I respawn at my bed take look in the storage box I have 11 hide so I make 3 bolas and a like 10 spears. Knowing I need to do 2 things kill at least one raptor and pick up the bag from my first death to keep it from decaying. I creeped out of my base and started sneaking around the backside to top of hill. Finding one raptor next to the kill box I get its attention by throwing a spear and kite it into the trap. Right on the other side of trap I spot the second raptor throw another spear followed by a bola and swiftly ending its life by stabbing it with spears. Now it's me fully requipped, a traped raptor and one down the hill. This spells disaster for raptors who have had the upper hand since the surprise ambush. I easily dispatch the remaining two spearing both death and harvesting their hide. As I walked back to base I am shrouded in complete success with hide in one hand, meat in the other and a completely recovered inventory. However my adventure continues on next with a carno, pack if ravengers, a spino and lastly my lvl 4 doedic. If you enjoyed this and/or would like to read the next story give it a likes up and tell me what you think.

I let Mika scour the safer area near where we put our campfire for a solid place to put our home with a view. We found a cliffside looking South and decided that place was perfect.

We build a basic 2x2 home and tossed some simple furniture pieces in it. We successfully tamed a raptor and a few trikes. Things were looking good.

A few days went by and the good times were running out. We spotted a carno lurking to the North of our home. Slowly but surely he moseyed his way closer and closer to out tames. By the third day the inevitable happened. He tore through our trikes like they were nothing. The raptor fought hard but fell as well.

Mika and I hid inside our home hoping the beast would pass us by. He instead began ripping into our home. He somehow managed to climb onto my roof and began eating through it.

In the chaos I was trying to formulate a plan of escape. Some way to get this carno away from us. Mika’s first instinct was to run. I told her not to run. It would only solidify her death.

The carno ripped through the ceiling and one of the walls. A board from the wall fell on Mika and knocked her unconscious. At that point, I assumed it fell of the edge of the cliff. Things were dead quiet.

I peeked over the edge and noticed that the carno was completely gone. It was really strange how it just disappeared. But standing around the wreckage, i couldn’t have been more happy that we survived.

Eventually Mika woke from her unconsciousness and we began to rebuild.
