Built a lodge in the meadows that borders swamp and went hunting for abominations to get materials for root armor. Found one, shot it with my bow to lure it back to the meadows, and as I was moving back another abomination spawned out of the ground that I was waking on about giving me heart failure right then and there (as old as I am that was a serious threat to my life).

I had to divert a bit to keep both of them off me and ran past a structure with a body pile in it so Dragur started spawning and joined the chase. I zig zagged a bit and caught the attention of some skeletons that decided to join the chase, splashed through water and got bit by leeches, got hit by a blob that also decided to follow.

Finally made it to the meadow with my lodge and the boar, deer, neck, and graylings came to my defense (not really, the menagerie I was trailing stopped long enough to kill them which gave me time to trim the foliage and kill off the small stuff so I could concentrate on the 2 abominations).

I kept leading the abominations retrograde around the lodge. It took me about 10 minutes and over 100 flaming arrows but i managed to kill both of them. That was the 2nd and 3rd abominations I had ever attempted to kill in this game. I decided to be better prepared the next time I went abomination hunting. Scooped up the boar meat, deer meat, and the neck tails that the bad guys so thoughtfully provided me.
