I marched down through the graveyard, dealing with the skeletons there with relative ease (such a difference from the first time I faced them!) and headed into the Catacombs. It was
very dark and I nearly fell into the abyss but was warded off by these purpley floating skulls - have I loaded up Doom by mistake? I thought, no! The skulls promptly exploded sending me to my doom. Best to avoid them, I guess.
Reborn, I ventured back into the Catacombs, more carefully this time, drawing out the skulls and letting them harmlessly detonate away from me, but the skeletons were again bothersome. It seemed that they kept regenerating over and over despite tasting the bitter sting of my steel more than enough times to keep them down. Is something in the darkness keeping them "alive", some sort of Arch-vile... am I
sure I'm not playing Doom?
I gave up on the Catacombs and instead headed back to the Depths where I promptly fell down the same hole that ended my last playthrough

Killed a bunch of frog-looking creatures that were busy burping out onion breath, not much challenge there.
Had a little explore without venturing too deeply and will be heading back there this evening, brimming with hubris
