Warning- super geeky conversation to follow.
There’s a TON of stuff you can do in Valheim.. like build your own little fortress, grow gardens, make armor, keep pigs.. fun stuff. Some of it isn’t exactly optional- the only weapons and armor you get are the ones you make. And keeping livestock definitely helps build up resources to help make all that possible.
This is why we spent a few hours this week herding boars into our pen in the fortress.. and then doing it again after trolls and dwarves attacked and destroyed the pen and the pigs in it. The bastards.
To be fair (to be faaaaaaaaaair), sometimes the pigs get out of their pen and wander around the compound on their own. We’ve made a rule that escapees are the first to be slaughtered. Seemed fair to us.
Rick’s been working on the Mead Hall… the troll attacks have continued, and it’s kind of where some of our favorite stuff is, so he wanted to expand and build on rock instead of wood. Makes sense to me, so I’ve been kind of puttering around and trying to stay out of his way.
I was exiting the gate and saw this-
For just a moment, it looked like a boar head trophy mounted on the outside wall.
Me- What the fuck…?
Rick- What?
Me- Oh, it’s a rock.. it looked like you’d hung a boar trophy head outside the walls and I couldn’t figure out why.
Rick- It’s a warning to the other pigs… escape and YOU DIE! Keep them lil bastards in line.
This is so unRicklike that I snortlaughed.. and came to share.
What would I do without this man?
