Chapter 6
After we finish dealing with the hobgoblins we head back to our base. Ghost looks the same as always, only bigger, a lot bigger about 2.5 times as big. When I checked his stats this is what it looked like this
<table><tbody>tr]<td colspan=''4''>ghost</td>[/tr]<tr><td colspan=''4''>Gender: f</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>level: 5</td><td colspan=''2''>EXP: 10%</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''4''>Titles: divine ancestry, jack''s slave</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>Hp: 500/500</td><td colspan=''2''>Hp recovery: .005/s</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>mp: 200/200</td><td colspan=''2''>Mp recovery: .01/s</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>stamina 700/700</td><td colspan=''2''>Stamina recovery: .1/s</td></tr><tr><td width="25%">STR: 22</td><td width="25%">Agi: 24</td><td width="25%">Dex: 21</td><td width="25%">Vit: 15</td></tr><tr><td width="25%">int: 4</td><td width="25%">Wis: 5</td><td width="25%">luc: 3</td><td width="25%">nat.def. 35(30)</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''4''>Skills</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''4''>iron skin, iron fur, limited telepathy (jack), animal instincts, evolution 2, dominate beast</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''4''>skill points available: 60</td></tr></tbody></table>
All his stats, excluding int, Wis, and luc, increased and a leadership stat were added. Similarly Johanna’s looked like this
<table><tbody>tr]<td colspan=''4''>[b]johanna</td>[/tr]<tr><td colspan=''4''>Gender: f</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>level: 1</td><td colspan=''2''>EXP: 80%</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''4''>Titles: orphan, freerunner, the reborn</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>Hp: 500/500</td><td colspan=''2''>Hp recovery: .001/s</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>mp: 450/450</td><td colspan=''2''>Mp recovery: .002/s</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>stamina 600/600</td><td colspan=''2''>Stamina recovery: 2/s</td></tr><tr><td width="25%">STR: 10</td><td width="25%">Agi: 25(50)</td><td width="25%">Dex: 15(10)</td><td width="25%">Vit: 10</td></tr><tr><td width="25%">int: 9</td><td width="25%">Wis: 10</td><td width="25%">luc: 3</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''4''>Skills</td></tr><tr>[td4 running mastery, monster instincts, evolution 2, monster language [/td4]</tr><tr><td colspan=''4''>skill points available: 50</td></tr></tbody></table>

''I’m going to have to exploit that latter''
I start to put stats into nat.def. By the time I put 15 stat points into it I got a system message, or rather several system messages.
<table><tbody><tr><td>ghost''s skill <iron fur> ranked up to steel fur</td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><tbody><tr><td>ghost''s skill <iron skin> ranked up to steel skin</td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><tbody><tr><td>prerequisite for <magic steel skin> 1 of 2 unlocked, prerequisites remaining: int 50</td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><tbody><tr><td>prerequisite for <magic steel fur> 1 of 2 unlocked, prerequisites remaining: Wis 50</td></tr></tbody></table>
"Prerequisite?" jack
"What is it?" Johanna
"The system just showed me something interesting. Have you had a prerequisite unlock yet?" jack
"No, what did you do for that to happen?" Johanna
"I raised one of ghost''s stats to 50" jack
"Hmm"
<table><tbody><tr><td>your pet/slave Johanna has obtained the skill
</tr></tbody></table>
"Perfect running huh" Johanna
"Hmm. try raising your dex to 50" jack
"I don’t have quite enough stat points to raise it all the way to 50 but I’ll do so" Johanna
"For now ill raise ghost''s int to 50"
<table><tbody><tr><td>Your pet/slave ghost has obtained the skill magic iron skin</td></tr></tbody></table>

I put the rest of the points into dex and I take out the executioner’s short sword.
''Observe <executioners short sword>''
<table><tbody><tr><td>executioner’s short sword
this short sword is made of a shiny black material with a rather cruel looking design.
+5 STR, +5agi +5dex +25% chance for a successful execution/assassination</td></tr></tbody></table>
"I guess I’m becoming an assassin type character" jack
"What’s that?" Johanna
"An executioner’s short sword. It increases assassination success chance" jack
"It suits you" Johanna
<table><tbody><tr><td>your pet/slave ghost has obtained the skill language comprehension (lesser) </td></tr></tbody></table>
"..."
"Is something wrong?" Johanna
"''ghost has obtained the skill language comprehension (lesser)'' is what the system just told me" jack
"..."
"..."
<table><tbody><tr><td>Your pet/slave ghost has obtained the skill language comprehension (mid) </td></tr></tbody></table>
"Well alright what do you say about going to get some orc" jack
"Is that what that heavenly meat was?" Johanna
"It really tastes good" jack
<table><tbody><tr><td>Your pet/slave ghost has obtained the skill language comprehension (greater) </td></tr></tbody></table>
Ghost sniffs the air and gestures with her tail to follow her. After following her for 5 minutes we come across a group of 5 orcs. All of them are lv 15. I use telepathy to communicate to Johanna and ghost.
''Alright let’s do this the same way we dealt with the hobgoblins'' jack
''Perfect'' Johanna
''Yes master'' ghost
''You can talk?'' jack
''No sadly I don’t have the proper structure to speak. But I can communicate to you through telepathy''
As I stare in curiosity
"What took you two so long I’ve already killed them all?"
Johanna who could not hear ghost''s telepathy went ahead and completely overwhelmed the orcs.
<table><tbody><tr><td>Your pet/slave ghost has obtained the skill language comprehension (perfect) </td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><tbody><tr><td>Your pet/slave ghost''s skill <limited telepathy (jack)> ranked up to telepathy</td></tr></tbody></table>
''Hello sister'' ghost
"Sister?" Johanna
''You are one of master''s slaves so you are my sister'' ghost
"Oh I see" Johanna
''Well there is another reason but that will come to light latter'' ghost
"Oh, I see.” Johanna
"What’s that about" jack
*laughs*"you''ll find out soon enough" Johanna
''Master I’m hungry let’s take these orcs back to base to cook the bacon'' ghost
