Go Hunting
You stomach rumbles and you fly up to go and find something to eat, thinking the merchant will not appreciate the appetite of your body.
You fly off and spot a herd of deer grazing on a field, before you get tired. After a quick rest for it to recharge, you soon are in the sky again. One pounce from above and you have your new meal. You quickly eat your fill before you head back.
On your way back you get a ping.
“SKILL ACQUIRED: Sky pounce Lv.1 Do 1% extra damage when attacking from the sky”
You celebrate not only the lack of hunger but the new skill as well. 1% isn’t the most impressive number you’ve ever seen, and you can’t really think of any situation where a boost that small could make a real difference… But you are grateful that it is a number higher than 0%.
As you celebrate, the quest to protect the merchant starts flashing. Alternatively running and flying, you quickly make your way to where you left him. Surrounding him are a bunch of goblins.
Pouncing from the air you take the first one out. Quickly realising the greater threat the goblins swarm you. Your fire breath is able to take some out before it runs out. The merchant helps as well, using his crossbow to take out more of them. By the end of the battle though you are forced to use your claws.
The goblins are driven out, and by the end of the battle you health is down to half. And you are rewarded with another skill.
“SKILL ACQUIRED: Swarm Armor Lv1. When being attacked by more than 10 creatures, incoming damage is reduced by 1%.”
While you are reading that skill it is followed by another skill
“SKILL ACQUIRED: HP Lv1. Your HP is increased by 1%.”
Looking over the sheet you also notice the other skills have a point to assign as well.
Flight: Maneuverability, Speed or Stamina.
Fire Breath: Damage or Stamina.
How are you going to assign the points??
You weigh the options carefully, flying seems to be your most useful skill so far so this is the one that needs the most thought. Maneuverability seems the most obvious, however being flashy in the air doesn’t mean anything if you’re too slow for it to matter. Speed seems like a good choice as well, but without Stamina you’d just wear yourself out. You think it over very carefully.
Taking to the air with an impressive display of your wings you test out your current flying skills in order to locate the area that needs improving.
