I am a 5'5 male, about 130 lbs, have been climbing a bit for perhaps close to two years now, semi consistently, mainly indoor bouldering currently at a v2 - v3 level and approaching the ability to project v4. I am a runner first and foremost and climb for fun around my running schedule. One problem I've had is that my lower body, particularly my glutes, gets very sore the next day after climbs. My hamstrings also cramp up or get tight from time to time, I notice this the most on overhang type problems.
I've had some running injuries related to weak glutes and so I've been trying to strengthen them a lot. For my glutes, I primarily do bulgarian split squats, for which I'm currently around 40-45 lbs and single leg hip thrusts, which I can do about 30-35 lbs right now for 3x5. I probably got a lot stronger over the last 6-9 months doing these exercises and definitely notice certain problems getting easier, as I can now do things like do kind of a half single leg squat to get into the right position, whereas before, it'd feel too difficult on my legs.
I'm not sure exactly what's considered a "good" standard for glute strength. I anecdotally have talked to a lot of friends and none of them have really have ever mentioned this kind of lower body soreness and say they usually just forearm / finger soreness - although 98% of them are not runners, or at least don't seriously run, so maybe they couldn't perceive the next day soreness, as it isn't really affecting them. If I just climbed, and didn't run, I probably wouldn't really notice or care that much myself.
Certainly, the types of problems I do does affect how sore I get, but overall, it's really just the action of pushing my feet on the holds and all the mini / single leg type squat actions I'm doing while climbing which I feel like are fatiguing.
Ideally, I feel like I should get strong enough to a point where my legs won't get sore at all from climbing so I don't have to plan so hard around when my climb sessions are. Right now, if I try to do a quality run the day after a climb, my glutes will be quite sore and tight and it's a challenging exercise to maintain the pace / effort level without them feeling fatigued.

The Recon Team had traveled 2.2 Mi. So far, they hadn’t encountered a scouting unit from the advancing force. Not even the reading Bla`ol was getting from the satellites showed any movement on their part. Valè had even Comm’d Command Center to see if the satellites were in working order, and what she got was the same info Bla`ol gave her. The advancing force hadn’t moved from its location. Valè didn’t like that at all. Her gut was telling her something was off. The corner of her HUD began to blinker, notifying her that someone was trying to reach her via Comms. Answering her Comms, the tiny image of the Champion appears in the corner of her HUD.
“Did you find something, Champion?”
Valè asked as she signaled to the rest of the Recon Team to stop.
“Junior team leader Valè, I have found a hollowed-out cave-like pathway inside the tree. My…Gift scanned ahead and showed me it would place us about 3/5 a mile above the advancing force. This location would make a perfect sniper nest. I mean, look out to recon from.”
As the Champion gave his report, next to his image appeared several images and 3D images showing Valè the hollowed-out cave. As the images and 3D images changed, something caught Valè’s eyes. Her gaze focused on the image. The image stopped and expanded, showing scrapping marks on the tree bark. The scrapping didn’t look natural. It looked almost as if something had drilled its way into the tree.
“Have you found any signs of tracks or recent movement near the cave?”
Valè voiced her concern. The cave looked too artificial, and she feared an advancing scouting unit had created it.
“No, there are no signs of movement of any kind. What are your orders, Junior team leader Valè?”
The Champion's reply was simple and straight to the point. Still, Valè was concerned about this cave. Something about it seems off.
“Have you found another path that will take us closer to the advancing force?”
Valè asked, hoping there were other pathways. The Champion shook his head and spoke.
“Not unless you want to jump off the edge of this branch and land in the middle of the advancing force or take a thirty-minute detour.”
Valè clicked her tongue. They were pressed for time. Deciding on the fastest route, she went for the cave.
“Wait for us to arrive at your location, Champion. ETA to your location is five minutes.”
The Champion nodded in acknowledgment and cut the Comms. Valè turned to the Recon Team and spoke.
“The Champion has found a path for us. Move it on the double!”
The Recon Team moved with swift grace and stealth, their movement going unnoticed by the creature that grazed on the massive tree. The only animal that noticed their actions was a mid-sized slimy predator who, thanks to the Recon Team, had failed to catch its prey.
The Recon Team reached the massive cave. Their faces behind their helmet were painted with awe and surprise. All of them were thinking, “what or who made it?” Standing above the cave-like entrance, Gabriel turned off his “cloak” and called to the Recon Team.
“It's a clear path, Junior team leader Valè. Just watch your step. It has quite the slope.”
Everyone's gaze turns to the Champion and then back to the cave. Something just didn’t sit right about it. One of the Recon Team, Vijatà, spoke.
“Are you sure it’s safe to go in?”
Vijatà said what everyone was thinking. Gabriel jumped off from the top of the cave and slowly descended in front of the Recon Team. While doing so, he spoke.
“Yes, you just have to watch your step.”
Everyone turns to Valè, waiting for their orders. Valè took in the information she was given and weighed her options. With the bit of time they had left and the need for information, Valè decided to enter the cave.
“I know everyone is not liking the feeling this cave is giving off, but we are pressed for time. We march forward. Champion, please take the lead. Vijatà and V`yx, with me in the middle, be ready with your Gifts. Bla`ol, I want you behind me, ready to deploy a construct and have your sensor watching our backs. Yoremedia and Ùzonal, both of you on our 6. Anything that pins the wrong way on Bla`ol sensors, I want you to delete it from existence.”
Everyone nodded and got into position. While everyone was getting into position, Valè gave Command Center an update on their current path and the massive cave. Like her, those in the Command Center found the cave odd and warned them to proceed with caution. With her update to the Command Center done, Valè joined the formation and glanced at the massive cave entrance before diving in.
Everyone marches towards the Creepy cave. The group walked silently, their steps being the only sound inside the cave and, occasionally, the sound of them stepping in a puddle of a very sticky liquid. As they walked, they scanned for any threat and took in the strange yet eerie world surrounding them. The cave walls were covered by a glowing sticky goo :maxbytes(150000):strip_icc()/optaboutcomcoeusresourcescontent_migrationtreehuggerimages201508_joseph-michael-glowworm-cave-photos-5-ea27eebbaab54a2e8be6e822bbf5fd4d.jpg)that dripped from every corner. At first, they had not encountered the glowing goo. It was only recently that they began to see it. Walking behind everyone, Yoremedia kept her eyes on Gab`riel on and off. On their way here, she had a small glimpse of what was bothering Gab`riel. His rotations inside the Transport that had brought him here had left him with symptoms of claustrophobia. The symptoms were now mild, thanks to the cycle he had spent with Healer of the mind Zè. Still traveling in something the size of a Transport still left Gab`riel irritated and annoyed, making him use a meditation technique that Healer of the mind Zè had taught him.
Yoremedia sighed. The meditation worked, as Gab`riel said, but his body still responded to being confined. She wished she could do more for him, but her paws were tied behind her back alongside her tail. Something moving caught Yoremedia’s eyes. Something she found odd as her HUD or Bla`ol’s hadn’t warned them. Turning her head and rifle, she looked at whatever caught her gaze. Slightly above the group were large pockets of whatever the sticky goo was. Her scanners show that the pockets of goo were made out of sucrose, water, and small amounts of Glucose and fructose. Whatever this goo thing was where sure to be sweet, very sweet. Suddenly, the cave’s floor moved, making everyone jump into a battle formation. The walls of the massive cave began to constrict, bringing the glowing world around them to life. Everyone was on edge except for the Champion and Bla`ol. The Champion’s eyes scanned the walls, ceiling, and floor while Bla`ol’s Mecha’s onboard sensors and scanners did the same.
“Clear! The tree is just breathing!”
Both the Champion and Bla`ol screamed, cutting the tension that filled every one of the Recon Team. Slowly lowering their rifles, everyone let go of the breath they were holding.
“Recon team, we detected elevated heart rates and spikes in your adrenaline levels. What’s going on?”
Comms Officer Unjerstrinia's voice and image came through a level 5 Comms. Her concern was evident on her young Litrigon face.
“The tree gave us a bit of a fright. It turns out trees can breathe.”
Valè said while trying to get her heart rate down. This place just rubs her the wrong way.
Comms Officer Unjerstrinia’s ears twitch for a bit, confused by what she heard, and her bioluminescence also shows a bit of confusion. Still, she places that confusion in the back of her mind. She needed to know if the mission was still viable.
“Acknowledge Recon Team. Is the mission a no-go?”
Valè turns to the people still looking at the tree, scanning it, and asks.
“Champion. Bla`ol. Is it safe to move on?”
Bla`ol looks at his sensor readings and scanners. Everything shown to him was green. The only life signs inside the massive cave were the seven of them. Turning the Mecha’s outer speaker, the male Tiverno spoke.
“Everything looks green. Nothing out of place.”
Valè nodded her head at the reply. Turning her attention back to Comms Officer Unjerstrinia, she spoke.
“We all green here, Command Center. The mission is still a go.”
Comms Officer Unjerstrinia nodded and spoke.
“Understood, Recon Team. We will continue to monitor your progress. Goddesses speed and good luck.”
The Comms ended, and Valè turned to the rest of the Recon Team. She was about to give the order to continue but noticed the Champion still looking at the cave. She was about to say something when the Champion spoke.
“Vijatà move three steps to the right.”
Gabriel spoke. His deep voice echoed in the massive cave, stunning those behind him for a second. It took Vijatà another second to process what she heard. But by the time she did, it was too late.
“What do yo...Ahhhh!” What in the Eight Agony Plains is this icky goo thing!?”
One of the large pockets of goo had burst open, dropping all its content on top of the Tubinestian female. The image of Vijatà covered in glowing sticky goo was too much for the group of mixed children of the Empire. Every single one burst out laughing.
“Hahaha! Look, Sis, your dream became true!”
V`yx screamed, which only made her other litter sisters laugh louder.
“Demon fucker! When I said, I wanted to be bathed by something sticky! I didn’t mean this shit!”
Vijatà said with apparent rage while trying to get the goo of herself. This, in turn, only made the rest of the group laugh even louder. The only one that wasn’t partaking in Vijatà misery was Gabriel. He had just finished scanning the pocket of goo that exploded because of the tree breathing, and he could not believe what he saw. Being disconnected from the net, he had not been given a clear sign of what he had been walking through, even with his passive scans scanning ahead. All he got was what he believed to be natural tree juices. He finally understood what he was seeing when the pocket of goo or blue glowing alien maple syrup completely covered Vijatà. No, he first needs to check his theory out. Countless imitations had fooled many Humans and even his father, but if this turned out to be maple syrup, then one of Humanity's many Edicts would be complete.
“Could this mission get any worse?” Vijatà thought. Not only was she scolded by her older litter sister, but her attempts to get the Champion's attention had also failed. She knew before the crash the Champion would always find it amusing when Team members gave him compliments or straight-up flirted with him. But now, anything she tried or said would only get her a slight smile or complete indifference. Beeping from her HUD added more salt to her already bruised ego. It warned her of the goo going into her rifle and gunking some of the components. She was about to swing her rifle around and see if that got the goo out of it when the Champion grabbed her by the wrist.
“Champion?”
Vijatà asks, confused by the Champion’s action. The Champion said nothing. Only the slight glow of his helmet disappearing answered her. Vijatà looks down at the Champion and notices him scanning her paw with his deep, glowing eyes. The Champion's action made everyone stop laughing and pay close attention to what he was doing. This time it was Valè turns to ask.
“Champion, is that goo dangerous?”
The Champion did not answer as his tongue was busy licking Vijatà’s paw. Everyone's jaw would’ve hit the floor if it wasn’t for their helmet holding it in. Vijatà was over the moons. The Champion was licking her paw with feverous lust. Even through her armor, she could feel the Champion’s tongue gliding over her scales. Oh, how it felt. How she wishes she could rip her armor off and feel his tongue between the crevices of her scales. The Champion’s tongue moved away from her palm and began to lick her fingers. This made Vijatà’s legs tremble and sent a chill down her spine to the tip of her tail. It felt like hours. The Champion’s tongue over-stimulated her senses almost to the breaking point, but the Champion stopped before she could reach that oh-so-sweet climax.
“Oh, hell yeah! That is most definitely maple syrup!”
The Champion screamed in his cradle tongue. His voice radiated a joy that burrowed into everyone's core, pulling those stunned by his little act out of their daze.
“Recon Team, what in the name of our Divine Goddesses is going on over there!? And why in the damn Eight Agony Plains is team member Vijata’s vitals showing signs of extreme sexual arousal!?”
Once again, the voice and image of Comms officer Unjerstrinia rang and appeared inside every Recon Team member’s helmet. Still, in a bit of a daze, Valè shook her head, trying to get her bearings. But what she had witnessed had left her in a state of shock.
“Recon Team! Report!”
This time, the voice and image that came through weren’t Comms officer Unjerstrinia but Supreme Commander Yesleta. The authority and power behind Supreme Commander Yesleta’s voice was the sledgehammer that broke Valè out of her shocked state.
“I…well…the Champion…he licked? Something…from team member Vijatà’s paw?”
Valè words were full of confusion and shock. Even as she spoke, it sounded like she could not believe what she was saying. The image of Supreme Commander Yesleta shows her raising her eyebrow. Yesleta knew something was off when she felt Gabriel’s disbelieve, followed by his intense enjoyment. Just what in the damn Eight Agony Plains was he doing?
“Gab`riel, mind telling me what you are doing? We are all dying to know.”
The voice of Yesleta came through the outer speakers of the Recon Team helmets. Her voice echoed in the hollowed-out cave tree. Making the hairs on the back of Gabriel's neck stand on end. Gabriel cursed internally. His need to find out about the maple syrup had made him forget where and with whom he was. Taking a deep breath, he faced everyone and spoke.
“Ah, yes. What is currently covering Vijatà is a substance Humans call maple syrup. This substance was processed from trees called Sugar maples. Sadly many milleni….sorry I mean, thousands of rotations ago, the trees, alongside many flora and fauna from Humanity's cradle home, were…went extinct. Finding something similar to maple syrup has been placed in what my people call the Humans Edicts. These Edicts are very important, to the point that finding one would make all of Humanity move.”
Yesleta saw countless emotions running through Gab`riel’s face through the cameras on the Recon Team helmet. His expression was similar to when someone was rewarded by the Divine Goddesses when that person had achieved something remarkable. On any other occasion, she would be curious and willing to listen to Gabriel explaining these Edicts. Yet here, and now she could not let whatever these Edicts were, take precedence over the mission in paw.
“Champion Gab`riel, whatever these Èjïtcs are, do not outweigh the current mission. I hope I do not need to remind you of what is currently approaching our location.”
Yesleta's voice wasn’t low or harsh. Yet it carried an authority that made Gabriel slightly flinch. Feeling Yesleta’s disappointment through their link didn’t help Gabriel either, but he couldn’t control this. It was part of him; it was in his DNA. Still, Yesleta was right. They have more pressing matters to attempt too, plus he could always find more maple syrup now that he knew what he was looking for.
“No, Supreme Commander. There is no ne……What the fuck!? Everyone move!”
Gabriel screams at the top of his lungs while pulling Vijatà, who was standing next to him, into his arms and jumping into the air. The rest of the Recon Team, too, jump back just in time to see a set of very familiar tentacles. Gabriel flips in the air and lands on the cave ceiling. Cursing, he materialized his helmet and looked at the hideous creature before him. In his moment of lax judgment, Gabriel had not been paying attention to his passive scans, which were screaming at him about a massive worm measuring 70 meters long and 40 meters high approaching them. He only noticed the gigantic worm when his senses screamed at him of the danger below their feet. The worm rose from the massive hole it created. It opens its mouth, revealing countless razor-sharp fangs and tentacles.
“Is that a fucking Agony Demon! How the fuck did we miss that!?”
Vijatà screams while being carried bridal style by Gabriel. Seeing this creature, she, alongside the Recon Team, understood why they all felt odd inside the massive cave. They were walking through an Agony Demon’s nest!
“The tree! The Tree’s Essences was masking it from our HUD and scanners!”
Bla`ol screams, his voice amplified by Mecha’s outer speakers.
“We’ll deal with that later. Light the fucker up!
Valè screamed. Every member of the Recon Team heard her orders. The sounds of their regular rifles coming to life are heard, and what follows soon after are the sounds of rounds going at Mach 15 echoing inside the cave. The Recon Team had begun fighting the monstrous worm.
The rounds pierce the horrendous creature's flesh, making it scream in pain. The beast retaliated using its massive tentacles. The Recon Team members dodge the incoming attack with grace and great dexterity. Yesleta watched the battle that had just ensued and could not believe her eyes. An Agony Demon had escaped their detection and made it home inside the massive tree.
“That's not an Agony Demon! It's a native species of this planet!”
Gabriel's voice came through everyone's Comms. Hearing his outrageous outburst almost made those fighting the beast lose their footing.
“What do you mean it's not an Agony Demon!? Look at it! Sharp razor fangs! Countless tentacles and hideously ugly! That is most definitely An agony Demon!”
Vijatà, who Gabriel was carrying, screamed what everyone was thinking.
“Exactly that. I scanned it. Its genetic makeup matches the beings of this world.”
While Gabriel gave his explanation, he sent his findings to the Command Center. Those that read the information provided by him were surprised. The creature was indeed a native of this planet. Yesleta, with her ability to absorb more data, read the complete data package that Gabriel had sent. The creature was unique, to say the least, and it was a bizarre example of convergent evolution. She sighed. She knew later on that Momola`n would throw a fit over what she was about to order.
“Is it possible the cave is this creature's home, and when everyone entered, it felt threatened. But as it stands, we don’t have the luxury to make the creature flee. Recon Team, you have the green light. Eliminate the threat in front of you.”
Yesleta gave her order, making everyone move into action. Gabriel kicked off from the ceiling. Beams of superheated plasma shot out from his helmet—burning tentacles aimed at the Recon Team. The massive beast roared. It turned its attention to the one that attacked it and spat a foul-colored liquid. Gabriel easily dodged the foul liquid thrown in his direction. The simple-minded creature, annoyed at the tiny being flying around it, began to pay complete attention to it. Which, it turns out, signed its doom. Yoremedia and her team members Ùzonal and Bla'ol fired their rifles and mounted arm cannons. Their rounds rip large meaty chunks off the beast. The beast roared, enraged by the pain it felt losing its flesh, but in its simple-mindedness, it only saw the flying being about its head attacking it.
“Hot bone!”
Bla`ol screams through his Mecha helmet while throwing an aerodynamic cylinder he created with his Gift at Yoremedia. Catching the cylinder, Yoremedia began injecting her Gift into it. The power of Divine light fills the cylinder, and soon it begins to glow.
“Frag out!”
Yoremedia yells out, throwing the cylinder out at incredible speeds. The cylinder flew, cutting a path straight to the creature. The creature's tentacles began trashing around more violently due to Gabriel burning its mouth. A tentacle was about to smash the cylinder into pieces when countless shadows rose from the ground slicing the tentacle into ribbons.
“That was close!”
Ùzonal, the other male member of Yoremedia’s team, screams out with his paw stretched out. Moving his paws in a circular motion, the shadows match it creating a rotational dome around the cylinder. The now shadow missile cut its way deep into the creature, making it release a horrendous scream. Cracks began to form around the shadows covering the cylinder. Soon light began to radiate from it, and then a blinding explosion happened, releasing billions of nanites into the creature. The nanites flew everywhere, attaching themselves to whatever they came into contact with. Soon the power that Yoremedia injected into them reached a boiling point creating countless explosions. Where once used to be flesh was replaced by smoky white bones. A shriek of despair rang inside the cave, almost deafening the Recon Team. The hideous creature thrashed violently, aggravating its wounds and releasing a vile-colored liquid that began to eat away at the floor. Not knowing what the liquid would do, Yoremedia and her team jumped back and continued to fire their rifles and arm cannons.
Valè and her litter sister V`yx ran around firing their rifles while dodging the spit, tentacles, and falling debris the creature was throwing around. As she ran, a glowing light covered V`yx. Thanks to the covering fire her older litter sister Valè provided, V`yx gathered her Essence into her Gift. Extending her paw, she fired a glowing missile of light. The missile crashed into one of the many tentacles, spreading its light throughout the massive beast. The light ran like wildfire on the beast covering it completely, and soon, the gigantic worm began to lose strength. Its violent trashing slowly dies down. V`yx smiled. Her Gift had weakened the disgusting creature, but not completely. It still had some fight left. It smashed two of its tentacles into the ceiling sending large chunks of bark into the floor below. Both Valè and V`yx dodge the incoming debris. They weave with trained perfection, the tentacles, falling debris, and the odd-looking liquid; they dodge it all. But avoiding a chunk of bark the size of a Transport, Valè found herself alone with her back against the cave wall. Tentacles race toward her with the intent to end her. Power rose inside Valè. Her Essence reached its peak and was released with great force. The force tore the tentacles apart and any debris near her. Around her, a blue shield was created, blocking anything that wished to harm her.
“Vijatà, get down here now while I have my Gift up! We need to put this thing down now!”
Valè screamed into her Comms, carrying her voice to her other litter sister. Vijatà was having the time of her life. The Champion had licked her fingers and paw clean off, which almost made her come, and now she was being carried by him while flying around. It felt off being at the mercy of the Champion, but she wouldn’t lie. It was thrilling to no end. What's more, in the position she found herself in, her paws could grab onto the undersuit of the Champion. The suit had a similar texture to her armor, making it easy to feel what was underneath.
“Vijatà, get down here now while I have my Gift up! We need to put this thing down now!”
Valè annoyed, and pissed-off voice rang next to her ears, destroying Vijatà's joyful and wonderful moment. Vijatà sighed. It was time to get back at what she was good at, and that was killing ugly Demon fuckers. Hopefully, once she was done and the Devine Goddesses allowed it, the Champion would return to cleaning her again. With her goal in mind, Vijatà taps the Champion’s shoulder. The Champion stops firing plasma beams from his helmet and turns his attention to Vijatà.
“I got to go. Thanks for the cleaning, Champion! Once this is done, can we continue where we left off? I still hav….”
“Vijatà! Get your fucking tail down here, Now!”
Valè’s voice booms into Vijatà’s Comms, making the young Tubinestian woman jump. Annoyed, Vijatà looked over her shoulder and saw the battle below. Her litter sister V`yx had weakened the creature with her Gift, but it wasn’t enough to bring it down. Turning to the Champion, she winks, which the Champion could see as her helmet wasn’t tinted yet. Running her fingers down the Champion’s helmet, Vijatà spoke.
“See you later, Champion.”
Pushing herself off the Champion, Vijatà fell to the battle below. With unparallel skill, Vijatà twisted her body, dodging the creature’s tentacles. A tentacle was getting dangerously close to her. Extending her arms, Vijatà pushed herself away from the beast and flipped in the air, catapulting her high above the creature’s head. As she flew over the creature's head, Vijatà grabbed her rifle and began to rain supersonic rounds down onto the beast. The rounds pierce the creature’s skull, destroying a section of its skull. The beast started flailing its tentacles violently over its head, forcing Vijatà to change her landing trajectory. Landing on the creature’s back, Vijatà almost lost her footing as the back of the creature was covered by some type of slippery substance. Bearly maintaining her balance, Vijatà was able to slide down the creature’s back and land next to her older litter sister.
“You took your damn sweet time! Link up with V`yx so we can bring this thing down now!”
Valè said through gritted teeth, as keeping her Gift up against the constant onslaught of attack from the creature’s tentacles was draining her Essence rapidly. Not missing a beat, Vijatà looked at her HUD, searching for her litter sister V`yx IFF. The HUD painted her nearby, running toward her Vijatà scream.
“To the Goddess of War, we pray!”
“Mighty Catteyutiria, we call forth your wrath!”
In the distance, V`yx voice booms.
“Bring down those that stand in our way!”
Vijatà continued to scream as she got closer to her litter sister.
“Shatter their will to fight with your ever-growing might!”
V`yx voice sounded closer to Vijatà now. V`yx and Vijatà were only a few feet away from each other. Putting their rifles away, they ran toward each other with their fists held high.
“Let the sound of your War drums ring! Catteyutiria’s Smite!”
Both Tubinestian women scream while their fists collide. A large amount of Essences was released by each clash. The ringing of their fists echoed across the massive cave, and the large amount of Essences covered the gigantic worm. The worm began to lose strength. Its tentacles which it once used to rend the cave ceiling and floor apart, were now strewed on the cave’s floor motionless.
“Bring it down! Before the debuff runs out!”
Valè screams to every member of the Recon Team. V`yx and Vijatà grabbed their rifles and fired at the massive worm. Valè, now with some breathing room, joins her younger litter sisters leaving the cave’s wall behind. Yoremedia and her team focused fired onto the gaping hole they created, tearing every organ exposed.
Gabriel had stopped firing his plasma beams when Vijatà and V`yx had used their Gifts in a combo or k'i'ik'el kechmekatl. He had read about it while studying **“**MagIc~.” It was an ability of those from the same family, alongside similar Gifts, could perform. Giving a prayer to the Goddess they had an affinity to, just like Vijatà and V`yx had prayed to Catteyutiria, would amplify their Gifts, creating a more potent reaction and boosting their Gifts. Seeing the k'i'ik'el kechmekatl was interesting yet bizarre, like everything that dealt with “mAgIc~” still, seeing it in person and reading it about were two different things. The application and deployment of these unique abilities would change the playing field of any battle, just like what was happening in front of him.
Everyone was fighting the ugly as-sin worm…or, to be more precise. They were curb-stomping it to death. Dodging a round, Gabriel took notice of something. The Recon Team was fighting the creature in front of them as if it was an Agony Demon which was bad. At the beginning of the fight, he had been cautious in using his abilities. As throwing balls of plasma or using the Spear of Terra replica would’ve destroyed the cave…something the Recon Team was doing by themselves already. Sure, they were cautious with their shots, but this creature wasn’t built like an Agony Demon. Rounds flew through the beast, tearing flesh and destroying whatever was on the other side. He needed to finish this fight before they brought the cave down.
“Everyone pull back!”
He screamed. The voice of the Champion came through everyone’s Comms. No one bothered to second-guess what they heard. Every member of the Recon Team jumped back with amazing speed. Helmets began to tint as an extremely bright light engulfed the cave. A massive ball of plasma sat above the Champion. With one swift motion, he throws it at the beast below. The ball of plasma flew toward the creature, who was still under the effect of V`yx and Vijatà's strange ability. The eyeless monstrosity could not see what was approaching it. It could only feel the scorching heat for less than a second before turning into ash. The massive ball of plasma flew past the gigantic worm, leaving nothing behind, not even ash. Seeing the beast turn to nothing, the Recon Team began to relax but still maintain vigilance.
“Recon Team report.”
The voice and image of Supreme Commander Yesleta came through. Vale turned her gaze to the corner of her helmet. There she saw her Supreme Commander, as always displaying power and dignity worthy of her position. Raising her tail for a salute, Valè spoke.
“Supreme Commander, the immediate threat has been neutralized. Team members V`yx and Vijatà have used a significant portion of their Essence, but nothing an Erol fruit can’t fix.”
Yesleta nodded her head. She had seen the battle play out thanks to the cameras on the Recon Team helmets. In less than two minutes, the massive creature had been brought down, and no one had suffered any significant damage. Satisfied with the result of the battle, she spoke.
“Regroup and continue with your current heading. We will continue to monitor you. Lastly, Champion Gab`riel, I hope another “event” doesn’t occur. Supreme Commander Yesleta out.”
Gabriel flinched at Yesleta's last parting words. He had been listening to the conversation in case of any new orders, yet all he got was a chewing. A chewing that would continue once he got back if what he was getting through their link was true, which always was…maybe if he took some maple syrup to Yesleta, the chewing wouldn’t be as ba…
“Hey, where is all this coming from? Champion Gab`riel, what did you call this thing? Matlè cirit?”
The voice of Vijatà derailed Gabriel’s train of thought. Turning his attention toward the young woman, he saw her eating Erol fruit that replenishes their Essences and an ankle-deep stream of blue glowing maple syrup running down the cave’s floor.
“I think it's matle cirit, and can you just sit and eat your Erol? We need to get our Essence back, or did you forget we have a battalion of unknowns approaching us.”
Gabriel turned his gaze to the one that had spoken. Sitting around a boulder-sized bark was Yoremedia, her Team members Ùzonal and Bla`ol, Valè, and the one he was sure had spoken V`yx. Everyone had taken their helmets off and were waiting for V`yx and Vijatà to finish their fruit. Seeing everyone taking a breather, Gabriel decided to continue to “examine” the maple syrup. After all, he needed to be 100% certain it was maple syrup. Flying toward a wall, Gabriel scanned it for anything that would affect the flavor. Finding nothing, he began to sample the maple syrup. His tastebuds when into euphoria all the sweet things Gabriel had tasted up to this point could not compare to this type of sweetness. A ping from his passive scan notifies Gabriel something is happening to the hole the worm came out from. Flying to the massive hole, he began to scan the interior of it and noticed the odd-looking liquid the worm had used was rapidly deteriorating. Landing on the edge of the hole, Gabriel detected several fault areas. Something he didn’t like, as the smallest amount of force would shatter the bark and flood this cave with a sea of maple syrup. Opening the Recon Team’s Comms, he spoke.
“Junior team leader Valè, we should begin to depart. I have finished scanning the hole where the creature appeared, and it shows significant damage done to it. The possibility of breaking and flooding this cave with maple syrup is high.”
Information pops up from Valè’s forearms' 3D display. The leader of the Recon Team reads the data and wrinkles her brow; she doesn’t like what she is reading.
“Ya’ll heard the Champion. Let’s move.”
Everyone nodded, and their helmets began to close around their head. Gabriel began to walk toward the group to get into position when his passive scan showed a familiar scan. The scans were the same as the ones when the tree was about to breathe…

The first paragraph of the poem and additional clues provides the path to the general area of the first clue here. Details Follow.
------------------------------------
Forrest said start at the beginning and 'Begin it' is the first line of the second paragraph. Begin it where warm waters halt sounds like a specific location so you need to know the general area first. You use the first paragraph of the poem along with other available clues to identify the general area where 'warm waters halt' is located. Hints are available in other parts of the poem but use the first paragraph as the primary directional content.
Let's start with the initial well-known clues Forrest provided: In the mountains north of Santa Fe NM, treasure is above 5,000 feet above sea level and below 10,200 feet, at least 8.25 miles north of Santa Fe, 66,000 links north of Santa Fe. Note that 66,000 links is 8.25 miles.
When solving the poem there are a few tricks:

• Convert the letters in the poem to their alpha-numeric equivalent. 'A' is the 1st letter (1) of the alphabet while E is the 5th letter (5). When the letter's conversion is greater than 9 (2 digits) then use both digits if the letter is a capital (ie. Y = 25) and only the last digit if the letter is lower case (ie. y=5). This applies predominantly to the first letter in the word but in some cases you need to apply it to all the letters.
• The shape of the first letter in the word may be a visual hint to the path to that spot. This is primarily true for the first word in a line.
• Some lines have directional clues and those are predominantly in the last letters in a word (ie. 'in'=N=north & 'there'=e=East)

Another trick when using numbers that are found as clues is to use the outer numbers together then the inner number(s) and that was the first thing I noticed with Forrest's clues. 8.25 = 285 and Hwy 285 runs north out of Santa Fe. Head north on 285.
The first paragraph of the poem:
As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
And hint of riches new and old.
The first line clearly shows north and east since the last 4 words end with NE,N&E. This fits head north on 285 and the last word 'there'=285. I also noticed that 3 of the 4 lines starts with an 'A'. That could indicate go up and down and the first pass on 285 north out of Santa Fe is Poncha Pass. The A's also hint to the largest town heading to Poncha Pass on 285 (Alamosa). The town once you go over Poncha Pass is Poncha Springs which fits warm waters halt. The word 'hint' is followed by word #21 'of'=5/6 = 215/6 and it is 216 miles from Santa Fe to Poncha Springs CO (check it on google maps). We are now at Poncha Springs.
The 2 rhyming words (bold & old) end 24 (ld=24) each preceded by a o which looks like a 0 (zero) = 240 miles. The first paragraph also contains 25 words and the 24th word is 'and' which is the first word in two of the lines. 240 miles north on 285 from Santa Fe is Buena Vista Colorado exactly (check on Google maps). The poem contains 'marvel gaze' which can mean good views (Buena Vista). The predominant distance line in the poem (Not far,..walk) sums 24 and contains 24's.
Buena Vista is a hint, as you enter Buena Vista, but before getting to the town area you turn right on Hwy 24 (24 again) which fits the overall north east hint. Also, there is an airport is at the intersection of 285 & 24. Turn right on 24, cross the Arkansas river, for a total of 240 miles and you are close to warm waters halt.
240 miles from Santa Fe north on 285 then east on 24 ends here.
​
-------------------------
Note that there are additional clues which help with this path.. This is the abridged version for Reddit. I will eventually type up the full version as this is the most important clue. Get this wrong and your warm waters halt is wrong therefore every spot following is wrong.

Season 28 is the perfect time to mess around with not so meta builds, and I love to play around with interesting, but underused items and skills. My goal is to make at least 1 build per class, so there's something for everyone to enjoy.
DISCLAIMER: THESE ARE MEME BUILDS! I try to make them somewhat T16 viable, but most aren't anywhere near as strong as the A and S tier builds we all love to play. These builds aren't for pushing (though you are welcome to try), but they offer a fun and unique playstyle for those who are looking for something different.

Arreat's Wail Barbarian

https://maxroll.gg/d3/d3planne367835525
This one took some time to make. Between their sets, LoD builds and support setup, almost all of the barbs skills are already represented in one way or another, making it really hard to create something that feels unique. Besides, the few skills that don't get used by any sets hardly have any legendary synergies, or just none at all (looking at you, Revenge). Nevertheless, I came up with something very special. Terrible, but special

The build

Ever heard of Arreats Wail? Can't blame you if you didn't. But what if I asked you to name the most useless Wrath of the Berserker rune? You know, the one that just does some negligible damage. That's Arreats Wail, and that's what this build is all about. We're going to spam our 120 second ultimate, killing everything by transforming over and over again. Sounds fun? It kind of is.

Noteworthy Items

Immortal King's 6 Set: the 4 set bonus allows us to reset our WotB by spending Fury, while the 6 set gives a generic 4000% damage bonus.
Ninety Savages 2 Set: Often used in support setups, this doubles the effectiveness of our shouts, and lets us deal double damage against stunned enemies. This alone boost our damage buff to 8000%, add in 2 offensive shouts and you're actually able to kill stuff in T16
Morticks Brace: we're not just using the worst rune on WotB. We want (and kind of need) all of them
Endless walk set: since Squirts is impossible to keep up with this build, and we're standing mostly still while dealing damage, this is a great way to increase both our offense and defense.
Fury of the Ancients + Tasker and Theo: these 2 items gives us almost endless Fury passively. Which we need to reset our main damaging skill.
In-Geom (cubed): Cooldown! This build needs it. The more the better!

Skills

• Wrath of the Berserker: the all in 1 package. Press it, you get stronger, tankier and stuff dies! Happy times!
  
• Call of the Ancients - Together as one: these bad boys make us more tanky, and with the help of our gloves and shoulder generate fury very quickly. They last forever, so set and forget!
  
• Ground Stomp - Wrenching Smash: this triggers our Band of Might and our 90 Savages 2 Set bonus. And it pulls in enemies so they're in range for your Arreats Wail.
  
• Threatening Shout - Falter: 25% more damage to affected enemies, which then gets doubled to 50% through our 2 set bonus.
  
• Battle Rage - Marauder's Rage: 6% crit and 30% more damage. Bloodshed can also work here if you prefer.
  

Lastly is our Fury dump skill. The most effective ones are Boulder Toss and SS:Rumble, but you could opt for something more fun like Rage Flip, so you can pull more mobs while resetting your WotB. Using the latter will make the build a lot more spammy, though, so pick whatever you prefer.

Passives

Boon of Bul-Kathos: obviously. Can't pass up on 30 seconds Cooldown reduction.
Ruthless + Rampage: more damage
Last slot is open. Animosity/unforgiving for more Fury gain or Brawler for more damage.

Legendary Gems

Gogok for cooldown, trapped and powerful for more damage

Gameplay

Pray that you get an empowered shrine effect. It helps tremendously (channeling is also hilarious). Make sure WotB, Battle Rage and Ancients are always up, find an elite pack, use Falter and Ground Stomp to multiply their damage intake and alternate between spamming WotB and your Fury dump skill. Once you got In-Geom up, keep hunting elites or look for high density.

So a lot of people like north Lake Tahoe for the small town vibes, beaches, the lake, activities, etc, but if you really want to visit Tahoe you’re probably better off going to South Lake (the “city” up here if you can even call it that” or Colorado or some other ski destination.

• The people here love the small town vibes and I like it too, a lot of people know each other and people are generally chill. But part of being a smaller population means people wanting to keep it small and fighting change. Despite our economy relying on tourism, nobody ever bothered to make roads with more than one lane or do anything to fix the roads to prevent traffic congestion. Who wants to spend their vacation stuck in traffic for hours to drive through a small distance? I know a lot of locals want to keep the town small but it’s getting to the point where a 10 minute commute to work is over an hour.
  
• The ski resorts don’t have the basic amount of parking for the thousands of people who visit every day. People have to park in random places stretching for miles and walk or take buses to the resort. And there are barely any buses, or if there is one bus it’s full.
  
• NO Uber cars because the population isn’t big enough to have a single Uber driver. Check the Uber app and there are none. Occasionally one, but they don’t use the app often.
  
• And if you don’t have a car (the public transportation system sucks), you have to take the bus. There is one bus on the schedule for every hour that gets cancelled half the time during snow. And it snows 6 months out of the year. It only goes through the Main Street (HWY 89) and you’ll have to take another bus to Truckee (aka the way to get to Palisades Tahoe Resort, the only reason most people are here).
  
• If you rent an AirBnb, make sure the ownemanager actually removes the snow from your front door. It can get high enough to where you can’t go outside without shoveling, and if you don’t live here you likely don’t have snow removal tools.
  
• I don’t expect most small places to have a good transportation system, but what bothers me is how Placer County lures tourists in by making getting around here seem much easier than it really is on their website. They describe having a car as a hassle and say taking the bus is easier. LOL WHAT.
  
• The most embarrassing part is the amount of people I see on the Main Street and around the resorts standing on the side of the road with their thumbs up because they need rides. These people probably were misled by our website/marketing and came here without a car thinking they could take Uber and take public transportation. They had no idea that they’d be standing on the side of the road waiting/walking for hours. Most of them probably don’t want to get picked up by strangers but have no choice. I have never seen this many people needing rides in any other city. I usually see 0 or at most 1 in tourist destinations.
  
• And to add to the last point, NO SIDEWALKS on a lot of streets. You have to walk on the side of the road when the streets are already narrow from the snow. And a lot of people slide when they are inexperienced driving in the snow. Despite the area being smaller, it’s still spread out enough to where walking isn’t an option. And even if you wanted to walk for 1-2 hours in the snow, the snow plows won’t plow the sidewalks/bike path (bike paths are basically sidewalks here) for weeks. And I’m not blaming them for it, we have the most snow out of any area in Tahoe and the plow guys are always busy.
  
• We have a unique program called TART Connect, which is a shuttle service that is free and you can do from your phone. Basically it’s a cheap version of Uber. But there are only 1-2 shuttles in the whole area, and you can end up waiting 60-90 minutes for a ride. A lot of times it gets cancelled for the rest of the day during snow, or the shuttles get stuck and end up cancelling. The website advertises it as an easy way to get around but it’s not really. That’s why it’s free.
  
• The restaurant I work at has a 90 minute wait when we’re busy, usually all the restaurants here are packed when people visit. But the high wait times come from a lack of options, I like our food but I personally wouldn’t wait that long for any food. I like a lot of the food around here but it isn’t as good compared to other tourist destinations, and the prices are marked up due to rent/cost of shipping, not the actual food.
  

But if you’re planning on coming here anyway, at least bring snow boots, a car, and make sure the car is good in the snow. If you want to ski, make sure it isn’t going to be on a day when you have to get to the resort hours before it opens and still end up parking a mile away. If you’re staying a a resort and don’t have a car, DON’T LEAVE THE RESORT premises in a bus or shuttle because chances are you’ll have no way of making it back (unless you’re going to the airport).
And no, I don’t hate tourists. Our economy relies on them. If your city has tourists, that means your city has a reason for people to visit. If your city has no tourists, it means nobody wants to go there.

Guest host this week, check the comments for who to look for!
What is this thing? Read the FAQ at the bottom of this post for most of the bread and butter for this, aside from a difference in host (now a short white gal with brown hair, top of the post will have a description of what clothes I have on).
Real talk: I know that DC is not an inexpensive place to live, but tipping is not where you can just tighten the purse strings. If you're drinking out, tipping is part of the cost you need to plan and account for going forward.
WHERE?
Continental Pool Lounge
1911 Fort Myer Drive @ the corner of Lee Hwy &, N Moore St, Arlington, VA
Happy hour deals: $2 off drafts, wine, and can drinks; $5 rail drinks. 5-8pm
Convenient to the Blue/Orange/Silver lines at Rosslyn!
WEATHER?
indoors location, looking rainy
WHAT?
We are an informal meetup group gathering at bars around the District. All we want is to socialize after a long week and make new friends. All are welcome - whether you’re an old school Washingtonian, a recent transplant, or (gasp) not a Redditor, this group is for you! Read the FAQ for more info.
WHO?
We’ll be there starting at 6:00pm. I will let you know where we are in the bar and who to look for. Keep in mind that we may move around, so check the top of the post for updates. I’ll keep making updates until around 8:00.
A SPECIAL NOTE:
This happy hour is meant for people to gather and feel comfortable interacting with folk, both new and old. You can, and will, be asked forcefully to not return if you are being a massive dick or an active creep! Please let the host or guest host know if you feel uncomfortable or in danger from any participant, whether it's to the level where you want someone to be on the lookout to bail you out of a conversation if they approach you again or if you think they shouldn't be allowed to return.
Respect people's personal space always, as well as a no when it's given to you. And don't be a stereotypical Redditor when it comes to talking to women in particular--this is not a place to pick up a date.
Yes, measuring how big of a dick or a creep one is being may be a subjective thing, and similarly, yes, I do not care about that! Consider not making people uncomfortable if you are worried about this note.

I book I read 2-6 years ago was a fantasy magic academy with a female protagonist. It is a series with more than 4 books, but I don’t know the exact length. The protagonist is good with animals and the creatures. There is a menagerie for mythical creatures in the academy. Set in modern times
I think book 3 or 4: Someone inhales a fungus at a motel and it is usually deadly in minutes, but someone else kills the fungus with their magic

Looking for hotels that don't allow pets. So far, looks like Marriot has been my best choice. My ideal hotel won't be low-end (Motel 6 type hotels) but not wildly expensive. I want to start traveling on my own this year but the thought of having to deal with someone dragging around some misbehaved beast or leaving them to bark themselves to death in a room while the owners do vacation stuff is not my idea of fun.
