Chapter #4Bandit Encampment by: Unknown You’ve been sent to wipe out a bandit encampment that has been harassing players along the roads between cities. While you’re not a very violent person by nature, you were perfectly ready to slay these bandits without mercy. The reason for this is simple; they’re NPCs. NPCs are artificial intelligences dotted around Kinkquest to make the game more interesting. While you were completely adverse to killing other players, NPCs weren’t real people, so you didn’t feel guilty about doing anything you wanted to them. Especially considering the fact that more and more of them seem to be spawning in with every passing day…
You and your squire travel under the cover of the Wild Woods canopy, until you see the smoke of the bandit’s bonfire nearby. “Alright, don’t want to get any closer than this. Wouldn’t want you in harm’s way, would we sugar?” You smile to Lucas as the two of you hop off of mounts and gaze at the bandit encampment down the hill from you. Suddenly, Lucas gasps as you lift the human up by his robes, using your incredible height to hoist him up onto a nearby tree branch. “You just climb up there and see if you can get a good view of them, okay?” Lucas had high intelligence and several skills related to analysis, so you always let him scout things out before you made your move.
“Yes, mistress,” he replied obediently, climbing the rest of his way up the tree until he had a clear line of sight with the encampment. Once he was high enough, he pulled out a pair of fancy binoculars, and became scouting the encampment out. “There seems to be about five bandits.

“Excellent! So they’re weak, then!” You smile up at him. “Do you see any ways I could sneak in?”
“Hmm…” He pauses for a long while, trying to come up with a good strategy. "If you want to get rid of the regular bandits first, you can sneak in through that gap in the wall there. Then again, if you want to dispatch the chieftain first, you can climb on top of that shack and sneak in through the hatch on the roof.”
You nod, considering it for a few seconds. “Alright, thanks, sugar. You just stay up there, okay? I’ll be back in a jiffy.” Without any combat stats whatsoever, Lucas was completely defenseless on his own, but fortunately most humans and monsters wouldn’t be able to reach him while he’s high up in the tree. You unsheathe your sword and shield as you sneak up to the bandit encampment, heading for...
