This was a bad idea this was a bad idea this was a bad idea.
Holly runs as fast as she can but the demon's faster. She has no idea where Lightning's gotten to; maybe he found a tree to climb. She on the other hand has been diverted into a treeless hill and she's careening down a slope, trying very hard not to trip.
And the demon's gaining on her.
She's never seen anything like it and neither has Crystal; maybe Book knows what it is but Book's asleep. It's mostly mouth - it looks like a cross between a floorlength mirror of a mouth and a snake to propel the mouth along.
And Holly's not fast enough.
The mouth catches her.
But it doesn't hurt.
Where are we?

Yoink! Little metal cubes.
Interestingly enough the metal's vein is very cubic. And there are very clear borders between it and the dirt.

Holly collects as much as she easily can and then turns her wooden sword into the metal with one of its bits.
It is a much better sword now! Goodness, look at that.
"Now that you have some ore, you will need to turn it into a bar in order to make items with it. This requires a furnace!"
"You can create a furnace out of torches, wood, and stone. Make sure you are standing near a work bench."
"You should do some mining to find metal ore. You can craft very useful things with it."
"Some amazing things can be found deep underground!"
They find stone pretty quickly! Just have to keep going down.

Okay. And no skeletons. Good, good.
She has torches, she has wood, she has stone, she has a workbench to go stand near. Aaaand...?

Furnace! She can now make a furnace.

Grand. She makes a furnace. Can she do things with her remaining metal blocks now...?
Yep! She can smelt those into - tin bars, apparently.
Nope.
Exciting adventures in digging.
Is she paying attention to time while this digging occurs?

Why would she do that? When she gets tired she drowses bunnies, when she gets hungry she goes and gets food. Otherwise, meh.
That might not have been the best idea. Because there is a cycle of day and night going on here.
She hears the sound of dead things before she sees them.

What? The sun is gone again? Is this fucking place on some kind of sun rationing?
Holly hefts the metal sword and fights her way back to their house.

It's not fun, there are a lot of them, and they have flying eyeball creature friends, too. But she has a sharp metal sword, and none of them are very fast, so she makes it safely back to the house.
