Chapter 4

What do you do?

The Only Thing You Can Do, Try Again

You climb out from your den, shaking the dirt off and pulling a root out of your tail. The other skunks emerge from their holes and begin wandering amlisly in the area. You sit next to the dirt path, ment to look as if made by footprints and wagon wheels with loose dust for when players use it. The path is a bit lower then the rest of the forest and a thick line of trees guard the sides. Behind your stump is the same large quartz gemstone covered on the top with moss and persistant grass with a few tiny ones around the base. Scratch marks are across the side from players who think they can mine the quartz. Although they can mine some, the ones in this area are just for decoration.

Just ahead of five other skunks, they storm forward, a group of four players on their way. The first is a tall, muscular Orc in leather pants and a strap going across his right shoulder with a iron guard connected on both ends to his waist. He has a black mohawk and charges in with a warhammer in his hands, currently crushing the first skunk. The clear picture of a barbarian.

The first behind him is a young, female elf ranger. She has thin blond hair with her ears just poking out. She stands in tan leather with green fabrics over her shoulders and hanging from her waist. On her back is a quiver of arrows with a short wooden bow in her right hand. She looks ahead and begins to aim for one of the skunks farther back as she lets her arrow loose, striking the one in the far back. She's very thin and her chest is nearly even a C cup.

The next is a male human fighter decked out in strong steel armor. The chest piece is colored red and the shoulder guards are black as night, the rest is colored in the same way with red being the base and black for detail. On his back is a long metal greatsword glowing with a light purple energy. He has brown hair and watches as the first two fight the skunks. He must be a pro. He looks a bit familiar to, maybe he's been through here before.

The last person pulling up the rear is a small, beardless orange haired dwarf in small wizard cloths and wearing a pair of round glasses. He wears a dark blue witch's hat curved down at the top and a dark blue coat over thin white robs. In his left hand is a staff made from a tree root for casting spells and channeling his mana. He is beaten and, with bruses and parts of his clothing burned with a tiny flame on the top of his hat. He limps forward with the help of his staff and seems to be trying to get the other player's attention while stopping for a moment to adjust his glasses and continues.

You move behind your stump from their view and check your stats real quick to recap your abilities.

Skunk

Lvl: 1

Hp: 5/5

Mana: 3/3

Melee Attack: 2

Ranged Attack: 1

Special Attack: 4

Weakness: Non-Magical Weapons

Special Abilities:

Weak Skunk Spray: Spray your enemy with a foul stench that will cause 1 point of poison damage per second for 3 seconds.

Ok, so not the best stats for fighting people like these but, you just need a plan. Who could you attack first though? The dwarven wizard is the weakest, looking as if he has taken quite a bit of damage before coming here. The fighter human is definitely a pro so he won't be a good choice as first pickings. The ranger elf might be skilled with her bow, but she doesn't look like she has any weapons for close combat, not even a dagger. The orc barbarian would probably not be a good choice either, too strong and maybe crazy for a noob, and he's enjoying crushing your other skunks a little too much.

Who do you want to attack first?
