 Not a creature is stirring except for my mouse.

portal 37,,202 deep underground.  Nether 27,,31.  in the middle of a fortress!!

wow.

My skills are panic, flee, and fight.  Not "throw the gold to the angry piglin that got in your tunnel".

bastion at -379,,-100.  I got a nice haul of gold blocks under here, ran back to retrieve them after dying, tried 5 times, finally made it, got my tools, but every gold block was gone!  Thieving piglins!  Now I need to find another bastion to make this run work.  Dang.

Collected enough supplies to look for another bastion.  Died with them out there somewhere.

This world had so much potential!
