Another pleasant surprise!

"What? Oh crap!" The rogue suddenly exclaims. She looks around wildly, before turning back to glare at you. "I'll be right back! You better not go anywhere!" Her expression suddenly went blank.

You were dumbfounded and quickly wracked your brain for any information about what just happened. During your many lifetimes, you've occasionally seen heroes who seemed to live another life in another world apart from this one. They usually went back to a town to "log-off" in which they lived another life while time in this world stood still until they returned. But sometimes they found a safe place and had party members protect them while they went "AFK". They seemed to leave their body and go to their other world, and this usually only lasted a few minutes.

It appears that this is what happened here. This was just a field of sheep, and it wasn't very likely that a PK-ing hero would show up in the next few moments - but it was still foolhardy, especially after just being warned by the ranger. For you, though, this was a golden opportunity.

As quickly as you can, you trot over to the rogue and look inside her bag. It was still open from when she threw the level up potion at you. You sift through it, quickly opting for a green vial with a skull and crossbones.

"This looks promising," you think to yourself as you clasp it in you mouth. You take a few steps back and swing your head, throwing the potion at the rogue - just in the nick of time.

"What the?" Her blank expression is replaced by one of confusion, then pain as her skin turns green and bubbly. "Argg!" She screams as she falls to the ground. Then, gritting her teeth and glaring at you in hatred, she pulls out her knife and crawls towards you. You turn and run as fast as you can - which is little more than a slow trot. It is probably the most pathetic chase in the history of this game - with her crawling on the grass and you trotting away at a snail's pace. You would be laughing if you weren't running for your life.

Fortunately the pursuit doesn't last long. With one final bout of cursing, the rogue succumbs to the poisin and vanishes in a burst of pixels.

The fanfare plays again. Level Up! You could get used to this!

Argghh! You screamed, but all that came out was a mediocre bleating. You still have no attack power! But at least you have an attack skill that can do some damage. You look at your primary stats and find that your strength and agility have increased slightly since your last level.

Some monsters seem to grow bigger, or even change classes, when they level. But you seem to look exactly the same as when you were level 1.... and exactly the same as the hundreds of other sheep around you. You guess the developers have more "important things" to develop besides sheep. This could work in your favor actually. Heroes would expect you to be a normal sheep and be totally caught off gaurd when you roll at them!

Suddenly you recall what the ranger said about the rogue dropping loot when she is killed! You turn to where she was and see....
