Today RoyalRoadl is lagging a lot especially un the forum unless its just my internet connection. Back to action arc, the title spoils the content in order to psych you up for my cliffhangers. }:)
----------------------------------------
Log-in procedure initiated
Emperor appeared near the outside the repaired wall where he last logged out. He looked around and saw something strange. A drunk man, the one who greeted him at the party, was running towards him.
"Emperor help me I'm getting chased by monsters. There's so many of them." he said(imagine everything he says slurred)
'What is he talking about there's nothing behind him.'
-Calm down, first off why were you in the woods.
"I had to go to the bathroom and I couldn't find my house. So I went into the woods and forgot what I was doing so I started wandering around. I cleared some brush and saw a huge amount of monsters so I turned and ran. They should be right behind me."
-Well there's nothing so either they don't exist or they didn't give chase. As your future lord I shall investigate this matter.
Skill use successful, Eloquent speech leveled up
"Okay then I'll leave it to you, I'm going back to the party."

Automatically accepted due to skill
'I just got a free quest and calmed down a severely drunk man with logic, I love that skill. Though what's with the names, foreign names and generic names mixed together.'
Emperor ambled through the woods assuming that Tom was drunk but wanted to take advantage of the fact the guards were drunk at the party to wander outside the village. He encountered a few sleeping rabbits in a break in the forest.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
'I've got no weapons how should I attack them. They're too small to use Bull Charge against.'
While thinking this Emperor tripped and fell on top of the rabbits.
Critical Hit, new skill created, skill Crush leveled up
As he landed on the rabbits his weight completely crushed the rabbits causing some of them to explode. Lynford got up and started laughing and wiped off some rabbit guts.
'So that's the mature content and ooh a new skill.'
-Show skill Crush
Skill: Crush
Rarity: Very common
Level: 2(12%)
You fell on an enemy and caused some damage, that's it nothing special. Damage determined by weight and level. What did you expect some rare skill to make you feel good about yourself?
'Useful skill against small enemies but why are the skill windows so mean?'
Emperor continued through the underbrush hoping for something like a gathering spot or some more enemies to fight. Eventually he found another clearing with an empty mug near an edge. Emperor approached the mug.
'That's Schmied's mug so that must be where Tom was before he freaked out. I guess I'll pick it up and report back to Tom.'
Emperor dropped the mug right after picking it up
Quest Updated: CLIFFHANGER

Gonna split this up among several chapters since chapter 4 was way too short. Side effect is that chapters may end up shorter. Trying to balance this out.
