Virgil turned, startled by what sounded like maybe a pride of lions roaring in the distance. “Glad I’m not there,” he said under his breath. For most of the day, Virgil traveled through the forest. He did end up fighting a couple more groups of imps, which were easily taken care of, especially now that Virgil had new spells. During the mid-afternoon, after defeating the second group of tiny little demons, Virgil noticed that Splinter had reached level nine by looking at his Party tab on his interface in his vision. Grief apparently had access to the Party tab as well, as he took notice of the rat’s level up. The level disparity made sense based on the information he learned earlier. Splinter contributed to a majority of the damage, therefore she gained more experience than Virgil.

“Hey lad, yer girl Splinter here almost be a level ten.”

“That’s good. Is there anything special about getting to level ten or something?”

“Good grief! You be right about that, lad. Here in Imeria, ya get a boost to one of yer stats by ten once every ten levels. So the fact that Splinter be almost there is huge!” the skull said emphatically.

After just personally getting a boost to one of his stats by ten, Virgil had to agree with Grief. Getting both Splinter and himself to level ten became more of a priority. He was about to ask the skull more questions when an uncomfortable sensation overcame him. The dark elf’s hair on the back of his neck stood up. He knew it was his Danger Sense kicking in. They were not alone.

Quickly, Virgil activated his Detect Hostile Intent subskill. He spread his awareness out ten meters in all directions. There were two beings that his skill detected. One was behind him up in a nearby tree, the other was in a bush ahead of him. From the positions of the hostiles, Virgil understood what was happening. They were being hunted. It was a classic pattern displayed by a variety of pack species back on Earth. One predator would funnel the prey towards a particular direction, another would lie in wait ready to ambush. He didn’t know who was hunting them, but he was pretty sure they were unaware that he knew they were there.

Splinter picked up on Virgil’s unease and gripped on tighter to his leather pauldron, looking around. “There are two others out there. One is above and behind us, and likely trying to push us toward another up ahead in a bush. I need you to keep an eye behind me and let me know if you see anything.” Virgil mentally communicated to Grief.

“Ya got it, lad.” the skull mentally replied.

The Healer Druid gripped his staff, quickly turned around, and cast Nature Bolt. A small bolt of green Nature Magic was launched from his staff at the location where Detect Hostile Intent had located the being. Virgil heard an ‘oof’ from the spot and an arrow suddenly shot out from the tree.
