"Treat theure it out eventually" Merlin gave thee later in the ga a crowd follow hih the crowd His behaviour irritating the crowd once more And once he was free of them, he ran down the cobblestone street on his way to the southern side of the village A few players decided to follow hi his advice Merlin wasn't sure if they were following hi because they believed he was going somewhere special and wanted to leech from him Either way, Merlin couldn't accept it
Merlin turned around to face the sroup, there didn't seeroup who ured he was safe to ave the group a wave before dipping into a side street, the group tried to follow his eventually gave them the slip
Merlin e, he was currently standing in a se's boundaries Merlin looked around, he noticed a couple players fighting set quests already, either that or they were just fighting the first thing they saw
This was a beginner area that spawned level zero wild hares, these creatures could fight back, but were usually killed so fast that they couldn't deal any dae Merlin killed a couple hares on his way to the forest's edge, there were a couple quests that required rabbit rab soe, but he'd do that after the goblins
As he slipped into the forest's shade, Merlin entered a guarded stance and began sneaking around to the best of his ability Goblins were tricky and typically relied on aerous in environ spots
Merlin slowly traversed the forest floor,sure he was constantly hidden with so dried leaves or twigs The forest wasn't as dense as the eternal forest, but there were plenty of blind spots for someone to hide in Merlin eventually ca within the forest, there was a s it the perfect location to build a camp
Merlinsure to stay out of view of anyone, or anything that es of a goblin ca beds, rudin of life yet
Merlin leaped up the nearest tree, using his new bonuses towards his strength stat, he ed to lift himself up with relative ease Eventually he ave hioblin camp, there didn't see the goblins were currently all out hunting or gathering, Merlin decided he'd wait up in the tree for them to return
A fewand leaves being rustled, this wasn't the sound of goblins returning hoive their positions away No, this was soroup of players untrained and lacking any form of talent in the art of stealth
"Are you sure they said he went this way?" Merlin could hear the hushed voices of a s pretty close to his current position
"They described a white haired pale kid walking into the forest, and ere following hi this way" Another person piped up, answering his companion
Merlinhis silhouette so he wasn't easily spotted from below
"Oh, what's this? Looks like some kind of cae of the clearing and noticed the goblin cahly twentydown at hi to hunt down
Merlin watched as the group of three oblin's ca to note was that it was all three of the individuals ere following hiuess that kid was here not too long ago" The group seemed to rationalise that ain it was killed not too long ago, whereas that couldn't be further from the truth
Most monster areas operated as a part of an ecosystem with the nearby areas And each monster typically had lifestyle habits that could be learnt, so instead of sitting around waiting for a player to co like other RPGs, s, such as hunt, gather, harvest, occasionally fight with other clans and races, etc
The group's caloblin's ca itself in one of the stalker's shoulders The residents of the camp had finally returned home
