The duel in the square seemingly over, Joseph walked towards the appropriate NPC. "Greetings traveler, welcome to Haven. Please walk around, get used to your new body and come back and talk to me when you are ready," she said. Well, he'd already done that. Next step, then. "Ah I see you've figured things out, clearly you know how to handle a weapon? Birth Village needs your help, there is a infestation of Pheasants bordering the city. They may look cute and cuddly, but they are dangerous in pacts. Could you please clear some of them out? Please bring me back 5 pheasant talons. After killing groups of pheasants you will be notified of the loot and rewards, Try not to break the talons in the fight or you will not receive them in the loot!" Hm. He'd already killed one, and he realized that he had a notification. [4 XP, Broken Talon, 2 Gold, Stained Royal Cloak] Intrigued, Joseph selected the cloak. [Equip|Check] Selecting check, a screen opened. [Stained Royal Cloak- [i]A cloak which appears to be taken from a noble. There's a spot or two of blood as well.[/i] {+10% Gold per kill} {-5% Agility}] That could be useful. He selected equip, and he felt a sudden weight. Dang that cloak was heavy, no wonder it reduces agility. Joseph walked back out to the edge of the city, drawing his dagger. Spotting a pheasant, he went up to it. He'd seen these straight out attack other people. That was weird. Checking his HUD, he saw a red mark [-10% Agility]. That wasn't right, since the cloak only reduced it by five percent. Selecting it, it showed him another small pop up. [Stained Royal Cloak {-5%}, Sneak {-5%}] Sneak? He told it to show him what that was, and another menu popped up. Those were getting annoying. [ Sneak {Passive}: Not noticeable by mobs whose level is equal to or lower than user's level, -5% walking speed. {Effect becomes invalid while within 10 meters of another player, or within 5 seconds after killing something.}] Well, he should've known there would be abilities. Standing there, he slit the pheasant's throat. [-5% Agility] the first bit of text said. So the ability only reduced speed at certain times? [Sneak {Passive}: ... {Effect becomes invalid... Within 5 seconds after killing...}] Oh. That would explain the pheasants that had just started running at him. HP[||||---------] another part of his HUD showed. [i]Reacted too slow...[/i] he thought, respawning milliseconds later. Well, that was what he got for not paying attention. [i]Let's try this again,[/i] Joseph thought, running towards the city boundaries.
