I followed the track the predator had left until a few meters into the forest. After that, they just disapeared, like there where no traces ever. I looked at my surrounding with the skill Tracking still aktive.
And There! A few meters away, on a pretty big tree, were a few marks, like somthing had hung there and had run the tree up. I went and Inspected the tree and I could see that the animal ran to the next tree and when I was right, from there to the next one. I think that I one of the ways the predator prevented other animals or predators to follow it.
So I followed the claw-marks on the trees by jumping from tree to tree. Because I had to make some acrobatic movments for that I got the skill for it:
Acrobatic (Level 1)
I managed to get the skill to level 4 when I went down to the ground for a break. I got some serious gaines in my Attributes for my tree-jumping there:
+ 2 Stamina
+ 1 Strenght
+ 3 Constitution
+ 4 Dexterity
The big constitution gain... well lets just say that it wasn''t so easy at the beginning and I had some... meetings with wooden things...
Well, but now I was sitting and meditating to calm my mind. After that I went and tried something. Because of the few games I had played in my youth, I tried to get as much skills as I could before the confrontation with the animal I was searching. The first thing I did was shooting with my blaster at a old trunk I had found. At firs I shooted it from 10 meters until I could hit the center at every shoot. At there I already got the skill but I didn''t wanted to stop because I wante da few more Levels into it:Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
Blaster Mastery ( Level 5)
After that, I went to a dead looking tree and attacked with my dagger, but that just got me one level, because even after half a hour, there where no new results. I belive there is just so much I can do without a trainer or fighting real oponents. After that I searched for animals that I needed for the next skill. After I found one of this deer-things, I tried ti sneak apon it. And really, I got the skill I looked the for:
Skill gained: Stealth (Level 1)
Perfect! I needed that skill. With that skill it is going to be much easier to land a early and mabey, devasting strike. And as i did gain all this skills and levels I looked at everything with my Observe to level it up also and holy moly did that skill got level:
Observe (Level 15)
I also got a nice bonus for gettin the skill to level 10:
<You get to see the Health,Stamina and Force of yout target>
