Whilst traveling today, I was once again beset by a bandit who noticed my coin purse and demanded that I share my wealth. I was fairly confident that I could take him, so I responded to his demand with an insult, and the fight was on. There were no witnesses around to judge me, so I held nothing back, unleashing the full fury of some flaming-sword techniques I had recently picked up. In the end nothing was left of the bandit but a pile of smoldering ashes.
A few moments later I was approached by another stranger, who praised my strength and offered me an elixir which he promised would amplify my strength even further! This seemed like an obvious trap, but the man had a reputation for being Honorable. So against my better judgement I accepted the elixir and downed it in a single gulp. The 'Honorable' stranger laughed in my face as I was immediately afflicted with 100 stacks of poison! The man revealed that he was a close friend of the bandit I had just murdered, and this was his revenge!
This new opponent was not particularly strong, but I was still injured from the previous fight, and now badly poisoned as well; fighting in this state seemed ominous at best, so I quickly turned and triple-jumped onto a nearby cliff, where I could only hope I would not be followed. I rapidly searched my bags for consumables, a found just enough anti-poison paste to remove most of my toxins, and some tasty soup I had prepared which would rapidly recover my lost vigor. I got back into fighting form just in time to chase down the would-be avenger, and teach him a lesson. Burning to a crisp was too good for this dishonorable rogue, so I stripped him of his kung-fu, stripped him of his clothes, and left him on an island in the middle of a freezing lake.
Another wanderer noticed my strength and approached me. Fortunately this time he did not come offering suspicious packages. Instead, he offered to tell me the location of a place with powerful beasts, whom I could challenge to further my skills. I went to the place he described, but I had only just begun to explore when I found myself completely frozen solid! I had explored cold areas before, but apparently this area was some kind of next-level cold!
Changing into my warmest clothing thawed me out just barely enough to move, though I was still in danger of freezing to death if I remained here much longer. As if I needed further encouragement, at that very moment a massive frosty dragon appeared before me, with more power than I could even begin to gauge! I turned and made all possible haste to safer and warmer climates. I will clearly need to prepare more before I return to this challenge.
