Eltk leaves Wētā Workshop with a miniature Smaug, then heads into the countryside for something rather more hobbit-sized. In "Exploring New Zealand with Stimpee", the self-described massive Lord of the Rings fan visits Hobbiton with her partner, stepping inside a furnished hobbit hole before tea at The Green Dragon Inn and a second-breakfast feast.

There were no new uploads this week, but that June trip is drawing the most daily views of the channel's active videos. It is also close to 300,000 views overall, making this excursion away from the keyboard one of Eltk's most-watched regular uploads. "Well, I can honestly say this has been the coolest trip ever," she says near the end.

The gaming archive has its own activity. "I Quit Rust and Now I am Addicted to Runescape" follows her progression from newcomer to difficult bosses, with skill milestones, collection logging and an Ironman announcement along the way. October's "Experiencing My First RUNEFEST!" brings those gaming friendships into the real world, following the journey from Australia to England.

The subscriber total held steady at 147,000 over the week, and daily viewing is running well below its usual level. Nearby gaming channels have been busier: ThatGuyFromCollege and UrbanLoon both added subscribers while daily views ran above their usual levels. For Eltk, the most active corner of the archive is a holiday with animatronics, hobbit gardens and a very small dragon to take home.
