Skill: 4

Stamina: 3

Ferocity: 8

Luck: 8

So this book is a little different as a start off as a child, hence those low scores. Unfortunately that stamina score is terrible – it could be a maximum of 12, and I am not going to last long!

The story starts with some foreign mercenaries rounding up all the women to use as slaves and my father is cut down trying to prevent this. He dies in my arms and I am tasked with avenging the village. I gather some friends and head to the magistrates.

I decide not to travel down the road and instead take to the rice paddies where I encounter a Giant Mudworm. There is an error here in the book – the author has confirmed the skill score should be 6, not 12! Still, with a skill of 6 and stamina of 6 this beast is more than a match for me and it eats me for breakfast. Game Over.
