[center][h1][color=chocolate]Edward Marsh[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] [color=chocolate]'Nice. Thank you, System.'[/color] Ed thought as he began to assess which of the options they had of visiting was the most beneficial to them now and in the future. Ed quickly put off the village, as they were trying to move away from it as of now. There was also the South. It had signs that there was water there, but also the smell of something dusty that caused him to reflexively sneeze. Splattering the tall grass in front of his face with saliva and snot. [color=chocolate]"Eugh...gross."[/color] Ed cringed as he chose to ignore the snot and spit covered grass and keep moving. The scent to the East was far stronger than the one from the dusty South. Cautiously, he peered out of the grass to look at the East but saw no signs of any body of water. But the smell was still the strongest among all of the other directions had. Meaning to suggest that the body of water was still a good distance away but was big enough to actually have this strong a scent. If anything, the East was one of their best bets of finding a stable source of water but it looked like that they were still a ways off it. [color=chocolate]"Guess its going to be quite a walk before we see any water we can safely use."[/color] The young ratman commented as they continued Eastward. Eventually they discovered a dirt road, but by the looks of things it wasn't used that recently. [color=chocolate]"Well, ain't that interesting. Seems like there are travelers heading Eastward too...but it looks like they had a day or two head start compared to us. Normally, I'd be glad to see something like this but, due to our current circumstances, following this road might spell some trouble for us later on."[/color] Following this road to the East and eventually the large body of water was undoubtedly risky, but the high change that they can find a stable source of drinkable water was too big of an opportunity to pass up. [color=chocolate]"But I suppose it's a better chance of us finding water when compared to the South."[/color] [hider=Stats] LVL: 6 HP: [color=Yellow]Hurt[/color] SP: [color=red]Tried[/color] MP: [color=darkred]Very Low[/color] Effect/s: PECKISH, THIRSTY [b]SKILLS:[/b] Unspent Skill Points: [color=red]0[/color] Current Skills: Monster Analysis (1.25) Overwork (1.3) Dynamic Eye I (1.1) Rabid Fit I (1.9) Smash I (1.3) Beast Sense II (2.75) [color=green](ACTIVE)[/color] Alert I (1.15) [color=yellow](PASSIVE)[/color] Harder I (1.0) [color=yellow](PASSIVE)[/color] Faster I (1.05) [color=yellow](PASSIVE)[/color] Stronger I (1.65) [color=yellow](PASSIVE)[/color] Muffle II (2.275) [color=yellow](PASSIVE)[/color] Dexterous I (1.1) [color=yellow](PASSIVE)[/color] Use Light Equipment (--) [color=yellow](PASSIVE)[/color] __________________________________ SKILL PROGRESS: Material Analysis (0.5) Magic Analysis (0.9) Warcry (0.7) Tremor Sense (0.05) Mental Resistance (0.9) Telepathy (0.1) Mana Shape (0.7) Focus (0.8) Shield (0.5) Mana Shell (0.4) Soil Manipulation (0.7) Crafting (0.6) First Aid (0.1) Meditate (0.4) People Sense (0.3) Plant Analysis (0.2) Swift Swimmer (0.4) Charm (0.025) Repel (0.025) Stealth Kill (0.3) Blunt Resistance (0.1) Prehensile Tail (0.5) Mana Strike (0.6) Minor Heal (0.05) Iron Gullet (0.4) Taming (0.1) Suppress Presence (0.5) Use Medium Equipment (0.4) Inspire (0.2) Point Strike (0.3) Strengthen (0.3) Pierce Resistance (0.2) Double Skill (0.1) Deception (0.2) Lucid Dream (0.2) [b]Inventory:[/b] - Vine Belt (Shoddy Quality) x 1 [color=green][b][Equipped][/b][/color] [list][*]Bundle of Sticks x 1 [*] Flame touched crystals x 2[/list] - Grass Mat (Unknown Quality) x 1 [color=green][b][Equipped][/b][/color] [list][*] Healing Herbs x 1 [*] Nullven Cone x 1 [*] Flint and Striker x 1 [*] Tainted Crystal x 1 [*] Great Club (Unknown Quality) x 1 [/list]- Short Cudgel (Unknown Quality) x 1 [color=green][b][Equipped][/b][/color] - Assorted Insect Parts and Meat x 1 [b][With Asteria][/b] [/hider] [hider=Action Summary] -Thanks the System and sneezes when he sniffs the air from the South. -Discovered the scent to the East but realizes that its still quite a ways to go before they reach water. -Admits that its good to discover the road, but also risky due to the higher likelihood of encountering people. -Also can't deny the greater chance of them finding a stable water source to the East, so decides to keep going.
