Noises of hunters getting ready to hunt woke up. I was completely sore. Sleeping outside in the sitting position was not too smart. Getting up took a few minutes of pain, but in the end, I got on my feet.
Yawning I got in line to the device. I needed a good breakfast to have enough energy for hunting. Others were doing just the sa. On top of that, a few people were fixing so of their equipnt, while other mbers of their group took care of preparing the food. It was a very busy morning.
I was ready to go pretty quickly, since I didn't go for at, and just ate so corn, carrots, and apples. Finished it with a bowl of water. It took 11 points off my account. My equipnt was also ready. The only thing I had to do, was leaving my bowl with sobody. I gave it to people watching over the bonfire. They agreed to keep it for if they could use it during the day.
I departed alone, before everyone else. Few people were watching as I was going straight to the gate. Will among them. I saw him cooking at over the fla, and he saw . I still was not sure if I should trust that guy. He was friendly, helpful, and all that, but I kept hesitating.
Walk to the woods helped to get rid of all the rust I acquired over the night. I even jogged for a while. In the forest, I had to be more careful. Since my sight wasn't the best I had to lean on my hearing. I could see things from afar, they just weren't sharp, but instead more blurry, however since I wasn't rushing, and taking my ti, it was not that big of a problem. Whenever I heard sothing, I would crouch down and observe for so kind of movent, and after confirming there weren't any goblins in front of , I would continue deeper.
A few hours later I found my first group. Five green, ugly dudes. Too many for , so I didn't engage and changed my path. I have to admit, that I was lucky in so ways that day. I found the next group very quickly. Three goblins ard with two clubs, and a blade which I found about later, after engaging in a fight. At the start, I was actually hesitant to do so, because the previous group was actually close enough to get lured by the sounds of our battle, but the perspective of getting three crystals was too much for to ignore.
Since they weren't together, the first one got close before the others. I took him out with one clean swing, straight to the head. The rest attacked almost simultaneously. I blocked one attack with the shield, and the other one with my weapon then kicked goblin to the chest, knocking it down. Another block and swing were enough to get rid of the second goblin. The third one couldn't even get back on his feet. I wouldn't let him. Knocked him for the second ti with a kick aid at his stomach, and finished with a blow to the head.
It was a clean and easy fight. Maybe because I was more experienced at that point, or maybe because fear wasn't dulling my movent. I can't tell.
I picked up the stones and was on my way. This ti I didn't want to stay in the forest the whole day. There was no way I would make the sa mistake twice. Especially now, when so assholes were watching my movents.
I road for a few more hours encountering several goblin groups. Most of them were too big for to take out alone, so I just avoided them, and only fought small groups. As I ntioned before, I was lucky that day and managed to cross paths with two more groups of two. It was easy to kill them.
Hungry, and exhausted I made my way back. It was around midday, maybe an hour, or two past. I was nowhere near as tired as the last ti and actually felt good ntally.
I was about to pass the first line of trees when I heard sothing. A conversation. I probably wouldn't pay too much attention to it, if it would be in English, but since I heard Spanish, I took my ti to listen. The voices were unknown to . There were a few groups that preferred Spanish over English, and among them was that one, with which I had an argunt yesterday.
I crouched down for a mont to think while staying hidden. Should I take so asures before going into the city? I figured I should. I marked the tree next to and dug a small hole with help of an oak mace. I put the four crystals in there and kept the remaining two in my pocket. Then I went through the gate.
- Hey! It's our friend! - said Nacho the very mont he saw .
Then he approached , and his friends followed. I stopped and stayed where I was. Not moving even by an inch.
- We believe you owe us for your rudeness yesterday. So how about you share with us so of your crystals? It's only fair.
- How much you want?
He didn't expect a question like that.
- Half.
- Ok.
It went too smoothly, so he was confused. On my side, I just didn't want more problems, and with only two in my pockets It was a loss I could afford. I took out one crystal and threw it to him. He caught it but was not amused.
- What? - I asked while looking him straight in the eyes. - You wanted half.
They were not happy with my behavior and quickly showed it by beating the shit out of . I got knocked down and received a few kicks. To be honest it wasn't that bad. They didn't want to actually hurt , but just show my place. Then they left, but before checked my pockets, just for good asure.
I picked myself up after waiting a bit, while still laying on the ground. Then I went to the city center and approached the device. Nacho stopped and went through my pockets yet again, but he only found one crystal. People watched us both when he was doing it. After, he left, and I turned crystal into points.
I bought so food. Got my bowl back, and ate dinner worth 11 points. Then went to the hideout taking the longest way around ever. I was beaten down, both literally and figuratively.
Day ended with 609 points on my account.
