Indeed. And wouldn't it be apropos if the scrolls for said enchantments came from the exact same cute little hatsie that started all the trouble in the first place...
True that. But that would be far too great a coincidence wouldn't it? ;)
Loved the story btw. Had a really good laugh from that one.
I've almost been nailed by the squid myself now on three separate occasions during play, despite knowing exactly how they work. First was a couple of days ago, where I thought I'd save some time by harvesting some reeds as the sun was coming up, thinking I was perfectly safe given the area around my base was well lit. Kept checking inland to make sure no mobs were sneaking up on me, and of course wound up hearing the inevitable "thwap!" from behind.
Second occurred yesterday when I was boating around during the day. I pushed things a little late, but made it to the shore just as the sun was going down. As I jumped up the slight embankment towards a hidey hole, once again: "thwap!"
And finally within the last hour, a misstep caused me to fall off a bridge during the day, and I was wearing full iron armor. The few seconds it took me to get it off was probably the most panicked I've experienced in MC, as I sank into the gloom.
In each case, I managed to escape, but man, by all rights I could of easily died each time, and just to say: it's even managing to catch and startle me :)
