Chapter 6 by Ganti Ganti

What else did you find?

Useful bits and bobs, and a corpse

Honestly, given the rookie mistakes he made, you were expecting little to nothing in the way of supplies. Maybe some copper coins- which wouldn't be bad, you could always hopefully trade with other Monsters and maybe the occasional Human that didn't try and kill you. You weren't expecting the three least healing potions, the light chain, or the halfing corpse. You really, really weren't expecting the corpse.

"Soul, Sand and Shadow, what was with that man?" You inquire of the general vicinity. "Three healing potions he neglected to use. And why would he be carrying around a corpse?" Come to think of it, don't paladins' get a self-heal at level three? How did you survive that fight? Did he just get so caught up in chasing victory he neglected to use any of his healing? You could believe that, given the other rookie mistakes he made, but still. Why the corpse?

"Wait, wait. He had a corpse in his inventory?" Lyrissa sounds as baffled as you feel, and in response you shrug, before dropping it out of the loot selection on the ground between you. Huh. Looked like it had been a town guard before hand. And was nicely intact, too. If you HAD to create a Walking Corpse, this wouldn't be a bad one to use.

"Yeah, I am most certainly not going to claim to understand that." You shrug again. "Rangers can use chain, right? Because he apparently had light chain on him. No weapons other then the one he used..." Active equipment didn't drop from players, and only did for Monsters when your level dropped below the minimum needed to use it.

"Yeah, we can. I wonder why he never mentioned having that, it'd have been an upgrade over my current armor."

You shrug yet again in response. The more you learn about Ser Jhondoe the more questions you have. You suppose he could just have packrat tendencies on top of newbie syndrome, but that doesn't really explain the corpse. "He's not even HERE anymore and he's giving me a headache..." You rub your temples, and send her the chain. From what you'd overheard, before your messy **** that one time, one of the more interesting features of Shards of Arkus was that as long as all parties were non-hostile Monsters and Humans could send each other items. It offered some interesting depth of role-playing the veteran explained, though you think the newbie was too interested in beating you to **** with your severed arms to listen.

"Oh, thank you. It'll be nice to have something better then- EEEP!" You spin around and look at Lyrissa, expecting trouble given the abrupt shift in tone. You don't want to loose the closest person you've had to a friend in months to an attack.

...Well. You now know a handful of things. First, she's not being attacked. Second, neither one of you can actually combust from the **** of a blush. Third, she has tits. Not breasts, or even boobs. Those were tits. Gorgeous, likely incredibly soft tits. Also, she was probably going to kill you for putting her in that poor excuse for armor, given how much skin it showed. Even if it was an accident.

So how are you going to survive this?
