Bandits.

This adventure game was starting rather slowly. K-T had been spawned in what seemed to be an empty part of the forest. After a few minutes of walking around he hadn't found any enemies or npc.

There had been a few of what looked like horned rabbits running around but after looking into it, the class he had picked had no ranged attacks at the start of the game. He pretty much had only three skills so far beyond the normal sword attack.

He could focus while hitting and do some sort of magical power attack that was a lot more destructive than a simple slash. He could bash with his shield in a way that should stun a target. And lastly he could hold his shield to block and generate a bubble of energy that protected him from all sides, but at the cost of not being able to move around. All three skills depleted some stamina gauge, as did running or attacking faster than the sword's normal attack speed. When the gauge was empty he was feeling weak and sluggish, something he would have to keep an eye on in a real fight.

The rabbits were too fast and fled when they saw him, it was hopeless to run after them.

He had a minimap in his menu but it started blank and only added what he already explored, without even a compass so far. Thus he had chosen a direction at random and ended up coming across a road.

He had really hoped to defeat a few enemies before coming across some civilization, in hope of acquiring some equipment that would make him at least look a bit more normally clothed, even a simple belt to hold this stupid tabard in place and stop it from flowing away from his privates with every steps.

Boots would be welcome too, walking on moss and grass barefoot hadn't been so bad, but the road he was seeing was all hard dirt and gravel.

Once again picking a direction at random he walked following the road to wherever it would lead him. He was lost in his thoughts, trying to think how he could explain his predicament to villagers when he'd get to town or if he'll find a way to fix it, when he stumbled into his first encounter.

"Looks like we got ourselves a weird one, boys! Come on rich guy, give us everything you have and you won't be harmed," announced a tall redhead girl, jumping from behind a tree to block the road in front of him.

She was wearing a white tank top laced in front in a feat defying belief to stop her large tits from bursting out of the small piece of fabric. She had black leather pants so tight they looked painted on, giving her a really obvious camel toe. Some knee high boots with heels and a red bandana covering her mouth finished the outfit. And the long pointy dagger in each hand was selling her role as a bandit rather convincingly.

Behind her two burly bare chested bald guys were standing menacingly, trying to reinforce her threat. K-T knew he should be worried about the big clubs they were wielding, but his eyes were focused on what they were wearing. They had black leather pants with some sort of thick reinforced section on the knees, thighs and groin, as well as some sort of harness with straps crossed across their chests and holding some shoulder pads in place. If those were drop items and counted as armor, with the tabard he would look normally clothed.

"I think I'll make you all the same offer," he announced in a bout of bravado.

"Funny guy. Get him!" replied the girl.

Finally he would be able to test the combat.
He rushed forward, a mistake maybe seeing how much stamina it had cost him, and bashed one of brutes, stunning him for a few seconds.

The girl was nimble and running around him while letting him tank the two bandits. After a few hits he was relieved to notice that they had left damage as a health bar system and that he wasn't full of holes and bleeding. Having to focus on the two brutes left him open to her sneak attacks.

He was trading blows and blocking against the club wielding duo, he tried to keep one of them stunned as much as possible. Seeing an opening he finished one with a power attack. He saw the body of the bandit vanish, replaced by a small pouch on the ground and a small cloud of colorful sparks floating above it. They were quickly absorbed into his body as he stepped forward to deal with the second opponent. His health was rather low after being backstabbed so many times and the remaining bandit's club was glowing, indicating that he too was using a power attack.

K-T had no other choice but to use his block skill, negating the hit that would have probably killed him, but his quick counter attack had completely drained his stamina making him fall on one knee. Thankfully he only needed one more laborious, slow strike to dispatch the second brute, but he had a big problem now. There was no way he would be able to fight the fast and agile girl in his condition.

And her next strike arrived as expected, except for the fact that it wasn't her dagger that touched his back this time but the palm of her hand, he heard a whooshing sound and saw a few sparks erupting from him.

"Thanks for the gift, handsome. I'll have to dash now. Toodles!" She told him playfully. He turned around to see her running away, too fast for him to catch her even if he wasn't out of stamina, flowing behind her he noticed a long strip of red and golden fabric held in her hand. Lowering his gaze he realized that his only piece of clothing was missing and getting away from him at alarming speed. His sword and shield being the only items that he had equipped now, leaving him completely naked and, after fighting the beautiful bandit leader, hard as steel.

But there was hope, still. He had killed the two bandits and had yet to loot them. He still had no idea of which kind of loot system this game had. Would he get everything that was equipped on each defeated enemy? Or a chance to get their gear? Or even a truly random loot system where he could get items with pretty much no relationship with the enemy defeated like those games where you can drop a battleaxe from a rat?
