Chapter 5
"The hell happened to you?" Jack
Johanna recounted everything from her discussion with the god to now, which honestly was mostly a bunch of running.
"So you have evolution?" jack
"Yeah, how'd you know?" Johanna
"Ghost here descends from Gods" jack
"Aah" Johanna
"Any way do you want me to cook that for you?" jack
As Johanna hands the orc meat over I lights a fire with magic.
"How did you..."
"Magic"
After cooking the last of the orc I start asking Johanna about her skills and telling her about my exploits in the time we were separated.
Due to her overwhelming positive emotions targeted at you, you have tamed Johanna
"What the fuck!" jack and Johanna
Title obtained: godling tamer
"Umm I'm sorry I didn't do it intentionally" jack
"No its fine... better this way actually" Johanna
"Sorry what was that last part" jack
"No-nothing" Johanna
"You're still level one right?" jack
"Yeah why?" Johanna
"Do you want to change that?" jack
"Yes!" Johanna
so jack went on to tell Johanna about a plan to take out the entire group of hobgoblins involving my assassination, Johanna’s speed, and ghost's natural armor. After going through the details jack hands Johanna his dagger.
"I really wish I would have picked up the other daggers." jack
“Don't worry about it just snap their neck" Johanna

"Before we do this I want to experiment with something" jack

"What?" Johanna
"The effect of the stats" jack
"That’ll be good to know" Johanna
I set up a target with the remainder of the wood in this sub-cave and pile up some fist sized stones. After throwing a couple I add points to strength, which allows me to throw them harder. After throwing a few more I add a couple points to agility, which allows me to throw them faster. Dex allows me to throw the stones more accurately and vision allows me to see to see the details better as well as expanding my range of vision, oddly enough. I have no idea what the others do as I didn't experiment with them. In all I added 10 to strength, 15 to agi, 10 to dex, and 5 to vision. I also put all of ghost’s skill points towards natural defense. I explained the effects to Johanna and we head out.
"There are 10 hobgoblin scouts, 7 warriors, 4 bowmen. And one leader." jack
"Alright I go in creating chaos and running around so they can’t hit me and killing any I can while you go in invisible and assassinating hobgoblins by snapping their neck and ghost attracts hits." Johanna
"Exactly, I’ll start by assassinating the leader to cause confusion among the ranks" jack
"Sounds good to me" Johanna
As we head in I cast invisibility on myself, and ghost growls intimidating.
Ghost obtains skill: intimidate
I can’t even see Johanna as she runs cutting hobgoblins left and right. I stealth over to the hobgoblin leader and use assassinate while snapping his neck.

I quickly finish him off with kick to the chest. All the hobgoblins suddenly stop and stare at their dead leader, when three scouts die they come back to their senses. Although it’s too, late in three minutes they are all dead and the kill count is as follows

Me: 1 hobgoblin leader, 2 warrior
Johanna: 4 bowmen, 3 warriors, 6 scouts
Ghost: 2 warriors, 4 scouts.
As the hobgoblins tried to change targets off of ghost he would jump in their way and use
3 hobgoblins killed themselves on her fur and she didn't even get hurt.

Cardinal of Sin
They say sin comes at a horrible price. Or...perhaps I'm misremembering the saying. Regardless, I'm usually inclined to agree with the aforementioned statement. When one is held hostage by their own carnal instincts; never being able to fully control their primitive impulses...Well, let's just say, it would destroy a lesser man. That, I know. I died because of my lack of self-control, after all. I must admit, though. I didn't expect to change this belief of mine after meeting my end, but here I am. Breathing. In a world I don't belong; a world of magic. Here I am, whisked into another reality with the power to sin. To conquer.
