Letters V Part 1

Mutai, after much consideration, decided to try something.

"Player Help? Help? Admin? AI?"

Command Player Help recognized. Please state your quiry.

"Can my next five levels be reserved for Vitality and then can you disbale stat distribuition."

Processing request. Confirmation required. Would you like to devote your distribuited stats from level 6 to 10 on Vitality and then disable stat distribuition? Y/N.

"Yes"

Mutai had spent a solid hour thinking about this and decided that he would listen to the advice of his fellow cult members. Maybe he would have done something differently if he was a normal adventurer, but whether he realized it or not he very much acted like an inhabitant of Astera while playing it.

As for his choice to boost Vitality. Mutai had realized that, logically, the only stat he had no real idea on how to naturally increase was vitality. HP was not something that made sense to him, especially considering that outside of Astera stats would no longer be visable. 

Thus, he decided to boost it was much as possible, assuming it would be a difficult stat to raise. Also, he had a boon that doubled his gain from it.

Request confirmed. The DevLords have taken notice of you.

+1 Wisdom

".....Thats really creepy."

After this, Mutai preceeded on his standard day as a courier.

*******

Approximately four hours from Eyclin, the town south of Orangones, Mutai stopped to read his last letter.

To Mayor Harlequin,The courier I'm sending you is finishing up his first lap. I've gotten some really good feedback from the other mayor's in the Cardinal Towns. 

If you want to send back some important mail, feel free to do so.From P.Bear

To KateIf its not too much of a problem, could you head into Orangones this month? Daniel Gigious has decided to host a AWA meeting this month, wanted to hear from you. The meeting will be where it always is.From Jimmy

To BarbasWheat prices are increasing, some recent disapearances in the countryside have got a couple nobles warmongering. Expect some iron demand increase and maybe some conscription.From the Merchant Guild

To Mr. and Mrs. Langton,The night is neigh. Our operatives in Orangones are ready to take the city. 

However, we will ony move after we have heard news of suspicios actvity in Eyclin. In order to accomplish this and increase our success, kill the courier on his way out of town.

This will cause then to move a contingent out of the city. Do not fail us.

+1 Reseal

Reseal has gained a property.

ResealActive(LVL4)An evil skill, for evil people. Allows you to open and reseal people's mail.Ordinary Mail : 20 Mana

Priority Mail: 40 Mana

+1 Stamina

+1 Steady Breathing

Mutai's worst fear had come true. When he had taken the reseal skill, it was exacty to prepare for the unfortunate reality that soeone would try to kill him at some point. So, this final letter was very much expected. 

The problem was that this letter was not just about attacking him. Mutai had come across something that had indications of mass slaughter. He was in a position where he couldn't just stand by. After all, despite his normal actions, he was still an "immortal" adventurer he also knew about one of the major truths about Astera. Thus as long as his opponent were stage 1, he was not in any way afraid of them. 

Because, if they are only Stage 1, he could still make strategies base on what he considers the normal human limits. Well, there were quite a number of reasons he would get involved in this incident, but what was important is that he had limited time to solve this situation.

The courier's office actually had a rule that if a mesanger does not return within certain time frames, based on the distance of travel, thne a contingent of armed soldiers would be send to find out what delayed the courier. For the two day trip to Eyclin, it was two weeks. Thus, Mutai gave himself a week and a half to sort this situation out. 

He decided the first step, would be to diverge from the direct route to town, in order to increase his level from 5 to 10.

Working on that weird centering at the end. Also, going back to make sure everything saws Mayor instead of Chief. And the item windows.
