so I joined in to Vintage Story just at 1.20 came about, and as I want to do with a new obsession I was devouring quite a bit of information about the game. I have myself practically set to peaceful when it comes to hostiles since I'm notoriously bad at fighting. so I got used to shooing drifters off my property with a good smack like they were more of an annoyance than anything. I'd looked up and familiarized myself with the different enemies I could come across.
well imagine my surprise then as I come out of my house, round the farm towards to pigs to have something LONG AND LANKY just standing in the dark of 4am like some sort of misshapen Slenderman. Actual scream of terror, the thing was as tall as one of my trees. I shot an arrow off in the dark, but since I forgot a light the damn thing was gone before I could get a closer look. I felt insane as I went over the wiki, tried to describe what it was to see if anyone else had seen it. did I have an encounter with some sort of game cryptid no one has mentioned? it was too far to have it's name pop up for me, what on earth was this terrifying creature in the dark?
friends, it was a Shiver that was in its standing upright position. I have never felt so much fear in my peaceful run as not being able to identify a creature properly. they still give me the heebie jeebies. that scene is probably stamped into my Seraphs nightmares.
