Chapter 3 by rabbitjack rabbitjack

What (or who) emerges from the bushes?

A Fight, nearly finished

The player is up very late. They are nearly done with this section of the map. After finishing this quest, they will be ready to move on. They really should have returned to town a while ago, but anticipation keeps them going. Just a few more boars!

In fact, they are running a modded class. Called the 'Hunter', it lets them gain special abilities from the mobs they kill. The chances of picking one up seems to depend on how rare or common the particular mob is, which is why the last few boars have been disappointments. A quick check of the inventory confirms that they are out of healing potions, and their health is pretty low. Maybe a return trip really is... What was that? Another boar!

This one turns out to be an Elite Boar. Much more likely to proc the Hunter's special ability but a much tougher fight as well. Its a long battle, but they are able to finish it off with a sword thrust through its chest at the same time as its charge carries them through a bush. Their health is dangerously dangerously low, but its **** squeal signals triumph!


So there you are you were, bewailing your gobliny stats and contemplating how to change this, when out of no where a wild-looking human sporting a gigantic fuzzy beard crashes down in front of you, an Elite Boar lying dead on top of him. Shock prevails, with both of you just sort of staring at the other before the reality of the situation sets in.

"Now, wait just a ..." the human begins, only to be interrupted by a hollow 'Bonk!' sound as you bring the cheap stone head of your spear down on him with both hands. "Oww! No, wai..!" he begins again, so you hit him again. He struggles to escape, but the boar is heavy and his sword is wedged deep in its ribs. The leverage is against him, and he succumbs to a rain of blows.

'Ding!' Your green flesh is suffused with a golden glow, indicating that you have leveled up. There is a glitchy-looking movement to the glow, which is troubling until the system announces that you have gained a new class! You've never heard of a 'Hunter' class before. Apparently whoever set it up forgot to take **** into account, and the ability to gain special abilities is also giving you a special ability!

Lets see... you pull up the character sheet to inspect the changes.

Rubbing your over-sized hands together in glee, you take the time for a goblin tradition at times like this. Your gyrations and hops would only charitably be called a victory dance, but you really don't care. After a few moments of celebration, you settle down to figure out how to best take advantage of this unexpected windfall. You must be very cautious, because **** will reset you to a basic goblin.

How will you use your newfound abilities?
