While hiding in the bushes Lucas watched the bandits. He could see the cave entrance with the wooden gate and door and the rickety wooden tower next to it. Thankfully he wasn't spotted.
He watched the bandits and spotted about half a dozen. He wasn't sure if it was different people or the same. Spending the next two hours watching he estimated there would be at least 15 people in this camp.
While he waited he would scroll through the list of skills. He found two he really liked; [Trapper Lv1] and [Sneak Attack lv1]. The only problem was how expensive they were. [Trapper Lv1] was 30k points and [Sneak Attack Lv 1] was 50k points!
He could spend the points, but these skills are very situational. He'd rather make a team with people who have these skills to cover him.
Going back to his list of skills he decided to find a skill that suits him now.
[Multi-Casting lv 1: able to cast multiple spells at the same time. Each additional spell costs double the amount of mana]
Deciding to bite the bullet he spent the 60k skill points for [Multi-Casting Lv 1], leaving him with 50k left. Thankfully he decided to save that original 100k extra. He figured this skill would do better since he has so much extra mana thanks to his [Bursting Mana Lv 1] skill.
He snuck back into the woods and decided to make a plan. Many plans. He's played enough Labyrinths and Wyverns to know no plan always goes correctly.
He encircled the bandit camp and created his own magical traps. He would use his Arrays and create their runes into the very bark of each tree he decided to trap. He spend little more then half his mana casting these spells. Their affect would either be to incapacitate an enemy or completely kill them.
With his plan set he decided to move.

Two guards sat on the watch tower. Both were dozing off.
One leaned over smacking the other across the face.
"Oi! What the f*ck was that about?!" The bandit who was slapped yelled! He had a large red mark on the side of his face.
"Hahahaha" the other chuckled. "Yous were dozing off block head. Keeps them eyes peeled. Captain wants us all ready for tonight."
The other licked his lips while holding his cheek.
"I's can't wait to get a taste of that noble b*tch. Boths of them looked good."
The other had to adjust himself. He got too excited while thinking about the two noble woman.
"It's a shames we get out turn last. I always hate sloppy seconds."
As the two bandits talked they heard bushes moving and saw a man creep out of the woods. He had a large bag on and nice studded leather armor, no weapons.
"Looks Timmy. We's gots ourselves an 'ero."
"Want me to go warn the others? It's just us out here."
"Nah. I thinks we should have some fun and take his loot for ourselves. He's gots no weapons doofus."
The two bandits smiles at one another as they climbed down from the watch tower.
_________________________________________
Lucas crept his way out of the woods trying to pretend to be sneaking around.
'Thankfully I waited till everyone was inside the camp leaving these two bandits in the watch tower. Hopefully they are both idiots and don't warn their friends.'
He watched as the bandits noticed him. He stood still pretending to be spooked by them.
The two bandits slowly climbed the latter down while bickering at one another. As soon as they both hit the ground they pulled out their daggers and started walking towards him.
'These guys are idiots'
Both the bandits and Lucas thought at the same time.
Pretending to be scared Lucas started to slowly back away.
"Aww are you lost little lamb?" One of the bandits asked.
"It's okays. We aren't gonna hurt you."
"Much that is" Timmy said with an evil grin.
"Sorry fellas. I'm a traveler. Didn't mean to interrupt your party" Lucas said while turning around and running from them.
"Get him!" They both yelled and gave chase.
Lucas ran fast. Not too fast to let the men loose track of him, but fast enough to give them the hope of catching him.
As the men gave chase they passed one of his Arrays and activated it.
By their feet the Array started to glow a dark green hue before activated. Once active roots from the tree rose up from the ground tripping the first bandit.
The second one jumped over him laughing.
"Hahaha Lenny! Looks like Ole' Timmy gets the kill this time!"
As Timmy looked back he saw the bag the man had on behind a tree.
'This guy must be stupider then his mother. I can see his bag.'
Timmy crept up to the tree with his dagger in hand and stabbed the wearer of the bag.
Nothing.
He felt nothing. His dagger hit air.
Circling back around to see the bag. It was tied to the tree with no one wearing it.
"Where'd h-"
Timmy felt a blade cut his neck. Lucas tricked him and snuck behind him with his skinning knife and slit his throat.
Timmy did all he can to scream, but only the sound of him gargling on blood came out.
"One down and more to go."
Lucas ducted down and ran through the trees just as Lenny untangled himself from the vine trap.
"Timmy no! You b*st*rd!" Lenny yelled. He rushed over to Timmy trying to help as much as he could. He wasn't a Shaman. He couldn't use magic to heal him and he definitely didn't have any first aid skills. He looked around for the b*st*rd that killed Timmy.
Nothing.
Defining silence. No wind, no birds no nothing. Just the list gargles of Timmy's life.
Tears fell down his face as it contorted into rage and sadness.
Laying Timmy on the ground he stood up and grabbed the bag off of the tree and threw it to the ground.
"I'll get you you bas-"
Before he could finish a beam of black energy shot out of the tree and through his head. It was a clear hole from temple to temple.
Lenny fell to his knees unable to comprehend what just happened before falling completely to the ground dead.
Lucas jumped down from the tree near where he hid his bag.
"You know. I'm actually surprised that worked. They really are stupid."
