He took one step back, running away would be certain ****. That thing was sure to have agility in the 50's or higher, maybe even 70 since it was an {Apex} variant.

Every step back took more than a dozen seconds, but that was fine. It seemed that the black tooth was savoring the meal and would take a while before it finished, though it did pause every time his foot hit the ground.

But he couldn't risk staying any longer, he needed to get away.

He became even more cautious, every step taking more than a half a minute. For his life, he had to bring out the full extent of his patient nature.

[Your skill [Stealth] has reached level 14]

It leveled up again, giving him to confidence to slightly decrease the amount of time spent per step.

Then a dozen steps later...

[Your skill [Stealth] has reached level 15]

The sun went under the horizon, and the source of his endless panic just laid down after taking a casual glance around, slightly stopping in his direction before continuing with its life. The food was just waiting there for it to awake for another meal.

Hours later, he finally got far enough away for him to semi-confidently sneak away back to home base.

[Your skill [Stealth] has reached level 16]

[You have used your small goblin mind to achieve a legendary feat, avoiding the gaze of a far, far, far stronger foe open to killing you the moment you entered its sights, Wis +1]
