It's constantly happening, all the time! Katie the Emolga is mostly excited, but she does share the worry that I might get too big for this tunnel. The two Snivies are...almost showing contempt, maybe? I suppose having a bigger reach means I'm more efficient at crowd control than they are, now...
Posts by Ellie the Lilligant! (~7' 0" tall?)
Three days *sounds* right, but for all I know my growth could start speeding up again out of nowhere! Or slow down, I haven't ruled that out yet.
I might want it to slow down if my head starts getting close to the ceiling...but let's not think about unlikely future problems.
This section is still easy for the most part, though! We seem to be cooperating well enough to not step on each other's toes. I know when to fall back and let the Snivies deal with a rock golem, for one. Still don't have enough power to cleanly slice through them...
Not all monsters are the same in difficulty! Just about everything in the first section of the dungeon went down easy, but it feels like this one is where it starts proper. The ground started being paved, for one, which means they're probably going to start setting up traps soon...
There's only two more wall changes listed on the map, and we've definitely spent more than six hours in this dungeon...
Plenty of other stuff listed, though! It'd be dreadfully boring wall changes were the *only* noteworthy feature...
So who knows how long this adventure is going to take now? The enemies haven't been too hard to beat, at least...having a giant sword certainly helps a good chunk.
I don't think the map's to scale? We reached the first landmark (different stone walls) in the first two hours, but the second one's spaced just as far away on the map and we still haven't got to it yet.
It's not even really a straight line, the tunnel's been curving left slightly for a while...

Just gotta eyeball my size using the heights of my fellow adventurers, for the time being. Right now I think I'm about seven or so feet tall.
Speaking of not knowing precise measurements, I re-checked the map last night and tried to measure our progress... (๐งต)
Right, about that! I've already whiffed enough swings to know that this blade still can't easily cut through rock yet. Made a few dents, though!
I left my tape measure at home, too, because I was expecting this to be a one-day adventure...
Still, plenty of clearance above my head in the tunnel right now! Surely they couldn't have gotten the map *that* wrong, right?

Soooo...turns out there was one thing that I forgot to pack!
Rations. This tunnel is, uh, longer than the map made it out to be. I guess it being a straight line means that there's no sense of scale, huh?
Good thing this dungeon has its own foodstuffs scattered about, though! (๐งต)
[ Next update might take a while...I, uh, need to read up a bit more on adventuring ๐ ]

Iiiiitttt's time for adventure! I can't wait to see what my party makes of my increased size! With a big Lilligant like me, I'm sure nothing but success awaits us!

Ah, tomorrow's going to be the start of a great adventure! I've stocked up on my potions, miscellaneous items, shopped around for a few things especially useful in straight corridors (like a lightning in a bottle!), loosened my belt again...
...wonder if I'm missing anything else?
I get the feeling it's mostly rumours right now...most people haven't seen me more than once ever since I started growing, after all! But I doubt it'll be long before more people start connecting the dots...
She might have already found out and is plotting her revenge right now...but I hope not. That'd be rather petty of her...
I mean, even when I went to deliver some mail, one of the workers pointed to me and whispered to another worker there...it was something about 'not being a myth'...
I suppose it's only a matter of time before I get proper coverage in the news, huh?

I do think I'm starting to get bigger than most humans now, exciting...
I'm already starting to draw a bit of attention, even at this size! Luckily Tally hasn't shown back up yet...but I have to imagine she'd learn the news one way or another, right?
At least I know putting that on my title was a good idea!
Oh, you have visualizations? That's exciting! I wonder if you're tracking anything else about me...
The dungeon hasn't been adventured in just yet. Soon, though! Everyone in the party seems pretty excited.
A tent would work, but then I'd be worried about outgrowing that too, haha...
I still see the occasional human or two walking down these paths! There's even a forge that's run by a human!
It's pretty uncommon to see them in general, though...

Six feet exactly! I hear that's an important milestone for humans. Not many around here these days, though.
There used to be a lot more humans in this town, actually; its part of why so many buildings (like this house!) were designed for them. Wonder what happened...
I would be worried about dulling my sword by swinging it so much at the walls, but it *is* self mending...
Experimentation with the Growth move is certainly on the table, but I'm not sure if anyone in the party actually knows it. It'd definitely be a bad idea to use *in* the tunnel, at any rate.
Unless my growth really picks up in the next few days, I should be fine? It's not *that* small of a tunnel...
Gosh, a lot of pokemon seem to keep trying to use Growth to permanently grow. I don't think that'd work unless you found a way to super-charge the move, or something like that...
We also took a moment to go over the adventuring plans!
The dungeon's pretty straightforward - in fact, exceedingly so. It's a straight line to the end!
Fingers crossed I can still fit inside the tunnel by the time adventuring day rolls around, haha...
Katie's pretty excited to have someone who's as unique as me on our team! It's not every day you have someone who's constantly growing with no clear end in sight.
She mentioned the two Snivies are really jealous, though. How silly of them...
It must be related to the self-mending properties of the sword, I think.
The meetup itself went rather well. I learned she's really good at juggling! I only know enough to do the basic three balls...
Oh, and her name's Katie. That's definitely important to mention.

Interesting news! When I showed up at the Emolga's front door, she remarked upon how my sword got bigger. I hadn't even noticed until now! But in hindsight, it never did feel any different to hold...
Belt's not growing though. Had to loosen it a bit. (๐งต)
I'm not sure where I can find a spare brick wall that anyone will let me destroy...
In a sense, the upcoming adventure is going to be a test of my strength, isn't it? But it wouldn't hurt to get some extra practice in the meantime!
