Bandits... and a tracker blip among them!

No longer than 10 minutes have passed since arriving. All seemed quiet on the road to wherever this path may be taking me. The forest around me seemed endless, much like the RPGs of days past. It gave me quite the feeling of nostalgia from when I first started out those games. Wondering alone in the forest, with nothing more than starter gear to protect myself against anything that might jump out at me. Slut Hunt did not seem like the type of game for players to worry about such trouble, but then again, just about any fantasy trope could jump out at me at any moment. That was a bit of hindsight when choosing this genre to begin with. My veteran fantasy game instincts kicked in when I realized this, and I was now in full gamer alert.

Another 10 minutes passed. There was a blip on my tracker, and a sound in the bushes up ahead, underneath a large tree with giant roots. Instinctively, I drew my dagger and buckler, getting ready for a fight. True enough, it was as I had suspected. From the foliage, 3 people emerged. 2 of them were male, looking menacing, both wearing leather armor and wielding wooden clubs. The one in the middle was female, a red skinned woman in something that showed a lot of skin, wielding a large, heavy axe that she slumped on her shoulders. Her leather bikini hugged tightly to her strong, fit and shapely form, loincloth tails decorated with feathers and beads, squashing a pair of C cupped breasts in formation of a cleavage that jiggled with every step. She stood at 5'8", clearly in her early 30s, with messy auburn hair tied into a ponytail and strangely fascinating violet eyes. The tattoo of a snake was plastered on her right cheek, one that coiled up to her upper right eyebrow. She looked down at me with a confidence that could put even the most stalwart of medieval knights to shame, the slight smirk on her pretty lips marking a condescending nature.

Her voice came out harsh and bitchy, obviously the leader of the bandits, "Spill your gold, or we spill your guts on the floor."

All the while, my tracker was now blipping like crazy. For a second there, I thought it was something else nearby, until I realized it was this unruly hottie that was the cause. My first mark was a bandit leader! How interesting. With a quick prompt, my HUD flashed her stats after a quick scan:

=============
Bandit Leader
=============
Stamina: 1305
Horniness: 2052
Skill: 1273
Performance: 1504

• Fighting specialty

Quite low on the scale but the Horniness stat caught my attention. She might be a good first addition to my inventory. I had to do something about her minions first though. Guess it was not as easy as I thought it would be, though an encounter like this would be trivial at best with my experience in VR fantasy gaming. Even with starter gear, it should be cinch to take them out and claim my prize. There could be alternatives, as any situation would call. The game was designed to adapt to the player's preferences after all.
