Torrent panted as she stared down at the remains of the plant that had tried to end her life.  And the ashes, the scorched remains, the cooked plant-meat-stuff, and she felt a sense of overwhelming triumph blossom within her.  Lifting her head slightly, she snorted before thinking on her skills.

And first and foremost among those, thanks to the new level she'd gained through that, she put [b]five points into Dual Cast[/b] before she considered one of the new skills in her list.  Guidance.  It was alluring in a way, mysterious like Spell Cancel had been.  With a moment of hesitation, she dropped her final [b]five points into Guidance[/b] before turning her attention back to the 'loot' in front of her.

These could be helpful.  Food, and the vines could maybe be useful for something if they couldn't be eaten?

While she thought it over she used [b]Monster Analysis I, Magic Analysis I, Material Analysis I, and Plant Analysis I[/b] on the remains of the plant in hopes of learning more about the creature in case she needed to fight another one in the near future.  Anything she learned she could also tell the others, improving their collective strength.

Another thought struck her, then, as she considered her options.

She had no mana.  Which was, from what the skills said, how she used her fire abilities and some of the other ones.  What was it that the others had said?  Meditation was supposed to help with that, wasn't it?  Wasn't that why she'd learned it in the first place?

With a careful glance around her, she used [b]Mediation I[/b] for a few minutes to try and regain some mana.  Her thoughts drifted back to the fire enveloping her, the heat permeating through her, and of the dancing shadows back when she was practicing in their little safe place before the Goblins appeared.

Feeling like she might be pushing her luck, Torrent turned back to the loot and made a snap decision.  There was this thing in her throat that she never used before, and now was the time to do it.

Scooping up all five items, she stored them in her pouch and started back off towards base camp.
