Trith having just spent the day walking around the town of beginnings noticed a man asking players for boar hides. He walked over to the man and asked, "Hello there sir, looking for someone to get you some boar hides?" The man replied, "Yes young man, I am hoping for 5, could you help me out?" Trith who had no experience with the combat system decided it was about time he learned. So he nodded, "Yes sure, I'll do what I can. It's only five..." The NPC smiled widely and gave Trith the directions to the Great Plains. Taking the information he made his way out of the main gate in the direction of the Great Plains. In the distance he could see a few players out and about as well as NPC's farming the land. The plains actually looked a little darker than the rest of the town, with rougher looking weather in the distance. A bit grimm. As he walked in that direction about five minutes had passed, he still saw the town within running distance, but it was farther than he planned to walk. As he slowed his walk, he decided to turn back towards the town and backtracked. As he did so a Boar spawn in front of him.
Trith hadn't battled any wild animals since the first day and that was months ago, so he felt a little out of his element. This however was a good way to get back into it, knowing there were more dangerous things out there other than boars. "Oops.. How do I use these controls again... Like this...?" As he said it he threw his sword out in front of himself towards the boars face but stopped short in front of it by like a foot. The boar didn't waste time laughing at him, which Trith didn't expect it would. With in seconds he was tossed to the ground with a slash from one of it's tusks. It barely made a dent in his overall health, but he wasn't going to sit there getting gored by it either, standing up he narrowly missed another attack from the dashing boar before he jumped to the side. "Okay lets try this again!" He shouted at the boar. Then he with his arm above his head swung it down at the boar, only about a 25% of his health dropped, it was obviously not very effective. Trying to dodge another attack from the boar he was hit again by it but this time also took another swing at it remembering that the first time he didn't take a lot of damage from it's gore attack, so he swung hard at it, again only doing about the same damage.
Knowing that it was at about 50% of its health, Trith considered his options, he wasn't hurt bad, rather he was barely scratched even from both attacks, but his attacks were barely scratching the Boar. This was giving him ideas for future battles, but for right now he had to focus. Preparing for a dodge, the Boar came at him and this time he was able to jump out of the way just in time and still about to take a swing. Now the Boar's health looks to be only about 25%, so he tried the same stance again, but this time when the boar came at him and he jumped out of the way the boar changed directions and hit him hard in the legs, leaving him spinning on the ground. Looking over at this boar Trith prepared his stand for a full hit again and stood his ground. The boar came running straight at him, he stood firm and the tusk sliced into him, but his long sword also sliced through it. He hit his knee and caught his breath, but the boar on the other side of his backside exploded into particles and the battle with that boar was over.
Trith picked himself up, dusted himself off and checked his health, it wasn't great but it wasn't terrible either. He had some hits in him yet before he needed to use a health potion. He looked around for the loot if any. Then he decided to wonder around in this area looking for anymore boars, he wasn't interested in any problems with others or accidently walking into a pack of boars, just a few here and there, so he kept close to the road and in safe running distance of the town. He had heard of people in the game who killed other players for sport, that scared him, but he hoped that wouldn't come up. As he continued along he noticed an apple tree, so he climbed it. Grabbing an apple he sat on the branch and began to eat it waiting for what the world would bring. Just then a Boar spawn below the branch. "Oh sure... Of course you'd spawn in a place where I can get attacked if I come down..."
