Exhaustion made for the best sleep medicine usually. She may have thought briefly about why the system hadn't yet to say anything, or perhaps she was just so focused on getting to a good place to rest she didn't really pay any attention. She was too focused on making sure they didn't get jumped by anything else. Before she finally drifted off though, she made two goals to reach tomorrow. Investigate those magic crystals to see if it was possible she could use magic...and gain more allies. As much as she'd like to say she trusted her so called friends, it was always good to have a plan B. It should be possible for her to sway the more feral lizards, under her side with a little persuasion. If not through simple charisma, intimidation should suffice. Besides, if they had numbers - they could more easily take out those damnable goblins. The next morning, she woke feeling oddly refreshed. The lizard stretched, shaking the grogginess out of her head before taking a quick sniff of the air to make sure nothing was amiss. Smelling nothing, she allowed herself to lay back down and allowed herself to be pleasantly surprised - she had leveled up again. Level three this time. At least that hardship last night paid off well - she now had 10 skill points to spend on any skills currently listed. As well, with a little message that said 'HP, MP, and Stamina' fully restored. So...could she do spells just as Wisps could? Curious. She was interested in trying after her brief encounter with one the other day. Good...that would make this slightly easier.

[/quote] Stretching again, and taking a good, long look at the skills she decided it was time to put some points into one. Couldn't have them all pile up, even if she'd prefer using them on skills she wasn't interested in using herself. She had picked up a few interesting ones she'd like to try later, but for now she wanted a bit more offensive power for what she was going to be trying to do today. Assuming each point represented a .1 on the chart...She'd dump [i][b][u]six points into Venom Shot[/u][/b][/i], and [u][i][b]four final points into Alchemy[/b][/i][/u]. Having a new trick up her sleeve would be good for what she was going to be trying to do today. Another interesting tidbit was about the backpack and the 'throat pouch'...she wasn't even aware she had one of those. Curious - perhaps she could store food or other items there? Stock up and eat it later, or store useful items like crystals or some other things. It'd help...well, a thought for later. Her tentative ally was approaching, holding some foul smelling meat from the goblins yesterday. Huhmph. [color=598527]"...if I wasn't an ugly lizard face, I'd never eat this."[/color] She sighed, gratefully accepting the gesture, glancing to her sword in hand. made from fresh goblin guts it seemed. Teeth, bone...wood...all manner of grizzly weaponry. It looked vaguely like something she had seen abck on earth. Something about an ancient Aztec sword or something. Well, whatever. [color=598527]"Fancy sword there."[/color] She mused, wolfing down the meat offered. [color=598527]"As much as I'd like to help with material gathering, My time I think would be better spent doing something else..."[/color] She glanced to the crystals. The glow seemed to have noticeably increased over the night. Good to know they probably grew relatively swiftly. [color=598527]"I have a tentative plan for killing the Goblin Leaders myself."[/color] She continued. [color=598527]"It will...perhaps work, or not. I cannot say at the moment. I'm not your average Lizard, and I doubt your the average Goblin with how you carry yourself."[/color] She'd be giving a happy little smirk, if her lizard mouth was capable of it. [color=598527]"Once I see where this plan of mine goes, I'll see about finding my friends from yesterday. They'd be delighted to meet you, I'm sure."[/color] Ash began walking, turning only briefly to finish her thought. [color=598527]"If you want, of course...but anyways, getting started early is a good idea. Try not to hurt yourself - I can only do so much with my alchemy should you become injured. If possible, bring back some of those green plants by the pond - but not too many. We don't want to exhaust our resources before we can find a way to replenish them."[/color] Without waiting for a response, Ash scurried away from their little safe haven, doing her best to remain alert and avoid detection by other creatures. Her goals? Were finding some crystals. There was certainly to be some, so long as nothing interrupted her while she was out.
