as I searched rhe village for elusive quests I was suddenly reminded about the rabbit skin and meat in my bag. I decided to ask the nice tailor woman who fixed my b.u.mflap from before.I walked into her familiar stump, It was littered with bits of fabric in various shades and textures, and I could hear her in the back humming a song to herself as she st.i.tched together pieces of some kind of fabric. I watched as her gnarled fingers moved with surprisingly nimbleness, learning my lesson from the Smith I cleared my throat to get her attention.
she turned her head toward me and smiled at me warmly and asked
"h.e.l.lo young man how are you doing today? I hope those pesky rabbits didnt tear more holes in your clothes." as she spoke her fingers never stopped moving from their work which was pretty impressive to see I have to admit.
"no my clothes are fine this time, I learned my lesson last time" I smiled as I was reminded of the embarra.s.sing scene earlier today when I had my trousers fixed.
"Actually I was wondering if you needed any rabbit skins? I managed to get one earlier and thought you could use them in your work."
"yes I could always use the skins. The soft fur makes great lining for coats and they are easy enough to work with to. may I see it?"
I pulled out the skin and pa.s.sed it to her for inspection.
"hmmm" she said pensively "it"s a little roughed up with a RIP down one side and a hole in the chest so it could be better, but it"s not like its unsalvageable." after a brief pause she then added
"I can give you two copper coins for four skins of this quality, if you can bring be any flawless skins I can pay you two copper for two skin".
"Thank you very much ma"am I"ll be sure to come back then when I collect alot more."
" ma"am? please just call me Gisel, after all it"s nice having a handsome young man such as yourself visit so often, although it is a pity you didnt tear your trousers again I rather enjoyed the show earlier." she laughed in a way that I wasnt sure if she was just kidding, or was actually telling the truth.
not wanting to stay longer than necessary with her roving eyes glued to me I bid her farewell, and went off into the woods, because it was just declared Rabbit Season!
I picked up a stick as I walked and swung it toward every Bush I came across and poked it into every hollow that I thought would hide my quarry. I was finally awarded with a shriek and a fuzzy comet flying toward my head. how ever having fought 3 of them earlier I was some what accustomed to how they fought.
I side stepped the strike the last possible second and with the pommel of my dagger I swung with all my might and clobbered the rabbit in mid air.
I was amazed that I actually hit the rabbit. not to mention that I over half of its dropped in one blow. I watched as it fell to the ground with a dull thud, and saw that over half its HP bar was gone and a star with a small count down timer for three seconds appeared.
The rabbit stood up on wobbly legs and staggered around for a second. Not wanting to let this opportunity slip by I quickly scrambled to the rabbit and struck it one more time with the pommel of my dagger just below the horn.
With the reward of 15 exp i confirmed the rabbit was dead, and began the skinning process. With a steady Hand I took my dagger, and followed the dotted line that the interface helpfully super imposed over the rabbits corpse. in a few minutes I was left with three items.
x1 flawless rabbit skin
x1 rabbit meat (uncooked)
x1 rabbit Horn
the first two items i was familiar with, so i clicked on the rabbit horn and was given an explination on what it was.
Rabbit Horn- a material used in blacksmithing or can be sold for a few coins
I figured I would bring it to Lensa when I get back and see what I can get for it I loaded up my items and got to work hunting more wabbits.... I mean rabbits.
after hunting another 15 rabbits in mostly the same style as the first, my backpack was weighed down with 16 rabbit skins with 6 of them being flawless, I also had enough rabbit meat to stock a restaurant and 6 rabbit horns too.
with my bag loaded with loot I make my way back to the village to sell off my goods, but on the road back I heard a scream from what sounded like a little girl I made my way to where I think I heard the scream and saw a black wolf stalking toward a terrified little elven girl who was backed up with her back to a large boulder, she was clutching some kind of flower in her hand and following the large wolf"s movements with teary eyes calling for help every so often.
Wanting to help the girl I made my way to the wolf"s back and rushed toward the wolf with my daggers in hand hoping to land a surprise attack with the pommel like I"ve done with the rabbits so often today but the world just clamped down on my outstretched wrist in a flash and shook its head swinging me through the air and sending me sailing toward the boulder where the terrified girl was.
I got up with my head spinning and vision doubled, I could hear the girl wimper next to me ask.
"hey mister are you ok"
"yea I"m ok" I lied as I shook my head hoping to restore my vision, and it worked with limited effect "what"s your name girl?"
"I"m Rebeka"
"ok Rebeka look I am going to distract the wolf, and I want you to run as fast as you can to the village dont look back no matter what you hear just run as fast you can ok."
"I cant move mister in too scared"
" you have to do this for me ok rebeka you go back and get help from the village and come back ok, you have a very important job do you think you can do that"
" ok I"ll try mister but you cant die ok!"
"dont worry about me I"m pretty fast and hard to kill just go on the count of 3 ok"
" ok I got it mister on three"
"1 2 3 go!"
