Was racing towards my tamed lox and was happy to see them being rendered unharmed and unmolested. So happy in fact that completely missed pair of squitos. Slowed down to walk as my stamina pool was being emptied. Only noticed them by the buzz a fraction of a sec before they come in from behind. Get stung twice.

Eating 1st biome foods. Wearing some sporting garments as armor. Weapon and shield are top notch. Sudden rush of ♥♥♥♥ to the brain, try to outrun them, they follow, stamina is gone.
Do quick 180 and parry the first, stagger-meter rises. Second one punches through block. Dead.

Lessons, again, are;
1) do not run stamina pool to nothing
2) vigilance to enemies is paramount
3) only eat and dress as for a walk in the meadows IF you are actually there
4) less panicking, more swinging
Had I remembered any one of these, I would had been fine.

Just love how this game teaches us to be a true Viking
