"So, follow us to my home."
The boar thing says "Alright. I just hope you dont try to butcher me like those narroow minded clan members."
"Why would your clan members try to butcher you?"
"Eh, its just a clan tradition to make sure no clan secrets escape." The boar says
"By the way, what is your name?"
"It's Bula, And I'm an orc." She said
"Do all orcs have the same type of name?"
"No. Sadly, Bula means "weak" in orcish." Bula said sadly. "But I dont really care what they think of me!"
We continue walking, and it starts to get dark.
"We'd better get home soon, There are a few species of predators that hunt at night, And I'd bet they are stronger than your construct there" Bula says
"Don't worry, It's only a bit further."
We continue walking, and we end up at the cave entrance.
"In here" I say
The Bow construct points its bow at Bula
"Stand down" I commanded
The guard construct lowers its bow and goes back to guarding.
"What was that thing on its arm? It doesent look like anything I have ever seen before." Bula asks confused
"Ah, that. Its a bow."
"Bow? Whats that?" Bula asks
"How do you not know what a bow is?"
"Anyways, A bow uses the elastic energy of a string to launch an arrow which is a wooden pole with a sharp end to pierce creatures."
Bula stares dumbfounded and says "What? I didn't...... Just what?"
"Ugh. A bow is a weapon that throws sharp sticks fast."
'It seems that this world is severely underdeveloped, or bula was sheltered.'
"Oh, ok." bula replies.
'Hey, ISAP, is there a way to upgrade already created constructs?'
[Yes, to upgrade a construct, open the construct creation screen and press the "upgrade" tab at the top]
'Oh, "thanks" ISAP.'
