Chapter 8

What does the morning bring?
Bad news, and planning for the future.
You stretch out your air currents as you wake yourself up, floating outside to enjoy the final moments of sunrise. A few more piles of mushy berries mixed with the occasional nut sit on your ledge, and you pick up anything that looks remotely appealing and then get rid of the rest. Feeling a little peckish given your lack of food yesterday you eat some of the berries you collected yourself.
Turning to the progress bar, still tauntingly far from completion despite how much work you've already put in, you subconsciously search for a reason to put it off a little longer, and settle on checking your character sheet. Who knows, you may have levelled up over night.
Unfortunately, you aren't that lucky, and the main page of your sheet remains unchanged. Absentmindedly, you flick through the other two tabs, noting how low you are on berries and considering going for another foraging session instead of bashing away at the wall for a second day. However, its the fame tab that really gives you pause. You'd gone to sleep last night with only 6 remaining - now, it was closer to 56.

...you just wanted a place to sleep for the night. Do the gods just really want you to be tired for some reason? Its the only explanation you can think of for your current spate of bad luck. Not only are you going to have to spend 3 more days at a minimum mindlessly hitting a wall, you're going to have to be constantly watching your back for adventurers looking, apparently, to capture you. And given your activity since the update, it doesn't take a wizard to know who set the quest - and what they might do in **** if they get their hands on you.
At least you'll be able to get a new level in Elemental Liegelord, you think bitterly, and have even more pigeons to deliver you food! How wonderful. When you scroll down to buy the new level, however, something far more interesting catches your eye - several new options have appeared, one of which is available!
Fame: 56
Elemental Liegelord 1/10 - 20
Summon Minion 0/5 (Liegelord Level x 5) - Expand
Evolve Self (Must be Lvl 10) - 400
Selecting 'Summon Minion' takes you to a new menu.
Summon Minion (0/5)
Summons an elemental of varying form to work for you. This elemental cannot leave your claimed land unless you elect it as one of your champions, and will respawn at dawn every morning if it died the previous day. A higher Elemental Liegelord level will allow you to summon a greater variety of more powerful elementals.
Select Minion
Worker (Earth Mite) - 50
Now that was promising. Earth elementals were natural builders and architects. While a mite wouldn't be able to wield a hammer, you feel confident that its innate masonry skills would make it a far better builder than you could ever be. Summoning it would use up almost all of your fame, but if adventurers were on their way then having an extra set of hands around could prove vital.
Does the Earth Mite live up to your expectations?
