Hunting Lessons - Aurochs

This time, a herd of Aurochs appeared. Like Mouflon, they can't break through walls or fences.
They attack as a herd, so use ranged weapons to hunt them.
If you feel lucky, you can try the "Pull Hair" command for a chance of Aurochs Hair. Note that the herd may attack you if you do this.
You can feed them Four-Leaf Clovers to obtain wild Milk. Don't forget to bring a Bucket.
Note that these animals do not flee, even if severely wounded.
Prepare ample storage space beforehand, as Aurochs provide a lot of meat and materials.

Farewell, Nettle

Despite the danger, I decide to retrieve Nettle's body from the murder scene.
The least I can do is prepare a decent burial.
I start Plowing the ground so I can properly build on it.
Paved ground is made using Stones.
The two other bodies are likely his other characters.
I plant a small garden with some seeds I found nearby.
This fence should help prevent wild animals from wandering in.
Wonder if Nettle is still playing? Did he create a new character?
Perhaps we will meet again, in this world or the next...

Runestone Roundup

White dots on your map indicate unknown players. There is no easy way to distinguish friend from foe until you add them to your Kin List.
Take caution when exploring new areas. Watch your map closely for wild animals and players.
You can find the oddest messages on Runestones. This one is referencing an old internet meme.
Often, it is wiser to flee than to lose your characters fighting. You can replace items, but you can't easily recover from Death.
