3 Settling the Score

A few hours goes by the two brothers have been hard at work on the training yard. "Hey Kale I've realized something."

In between blocking a sword strike coming at his head and kicking at his foes legs, "What's that Logan?"

"Have you unlocked or seen any skills being used, I'm starting to think there are none."

After hearing this Kale stepped out of the training yard in deep thought. "You know what you might be right let's investigate." They both headed towards the same gate again to talk to the helpful guard they had met earlier. They smiled when they saw the familiar face of the old guard standing watch. "Hey again sir, mind if we ask you a few questions?"

"Oh it's you two again, ask away by the ways name Barlow."

Kale looked at his brother and asked the most important thing he could think of. "So how do we get better at fighting?"

Barlow laughed and pulled out his sword and simply stated, "You learn how to fight, there's a few skills that a master swordsman or archer could teach you, but mostly it's just your talent versus the enemies talent."

Logan immediately thought about magic, "Hoe does one get better at magic."

Barlow merely shrugged, "Not many people know magic young sir so I do not know to be frank."

Upon this revelation Kale looked at his brother and they both nodded in unison, "Switch?"

They sat out once again this time Logan held the sword tho he ditched the shield. Kale pulled the string a bit on his bow and said, "I was never good at martial arts I was hoping this would give me a chance to experience but I have gone bow hunting a lot growing up."

Logan's build just made sense for him to use a sword he was physically bigger than Kale tho not big he was fit. They set out once again to the goblin camp this time they decided to take this serious. They made a plan about 200 yards out and were moving to their spots. This time they weren't going to try sneaky traps they simply were going to draw them out with a well placed shot in a sentry back and take them in open field.

They were standing on top of a small hill when Kale motioned "Get ready Logan I've got a target." Kale stood motionless took a deep breath and pulled back aiming for center mass of the goblin sentry.

'TWANG'

The arrow whistles through the air driving deep I into the shoulder of the sentry 40 yards away in the wood line. A low growl followed by quick movement was all they heard before the goblins began their sprint towards the two brothers. At this point Kale was unleashing arrows as fast as he could each sticking into a goblin bringing 4 of them down before they got in close enough for Logan to begin.

Logan began by breathing in deeply then lunged forward, swirling around the back of the closest an arrow appeared in its chest as he sliced across the gut of another spilling blood in an arc all over him. He blocked an approaching strike and let out a kick to its stomach sending it flying back as another arrow slammed into the side of its neck. The final two goblins began to run but Kale quickly put an arrow into ones ankle and another in the spine of the other killing it instantly. Logan walked up and quickly stabbed the injured on in the neck, "yeah, this should work."

They quickly looted the goblins receiving a whopping: 7 bronze coins.

They decided to check out the camp they came from upon entering they heard a growl coming from inside noticing one goblin remained tho he was a bit bigger and held a giant broadsword.

Kale quickly planted three arrows into the ground next to him and grabbed one readying it for the fight. Logan gripped his sword and began his approach he was waiting on a move from this goblin who was doing the same thing. As Logan got within arms length Kale let loose the arrow at the left knee of the goblin who instinctively dodged it only to be met by the sword of Logan who chopped at his right shoulder grazing him slightly. Another arrow followed this time at the chest of the goblin who blocked it only to be kicked in the knee by Logan causing him to fall. This was when the third arrow slammed into his neck and Logan stabbed into his chest killing the creature.

System notification: you have leveled up you have gained two ability points.

They both let out a sigh of relief having finally completed their quest leveling up and understanding a little more the adventure they're in for. They looted the Goblin finding nothing noteworthy outside of a decent iron dagger that Logan stuck in his belt just Incase. They head back to town and turned the quest in receiving 23 bronze coins.

"I suppose we should level up now let's check these abilities out." Kale stood there for a moment and said wait, "How do I open my stats?"

Barlow chuckled as they walked up, "Did you level up guys?"

They both nodded scratching their head embarrassed.

Barlow let out a loud laugh, "It's actually rather simple just think about opening your abilities they should pop right up."

They both did as told
