My apprentice tactician goes out to hunt from Trinsic North Gate and he can cope with headless and easily kill mongbats. Makes a bare living on this as hunting is hungry work. I'm hoping he will improve to tackle tougher opponents. He runs from crocs and calls for guards help when he reaches safety. Just bought a longsword to replace my scimitar...
Today I have been out at the North Gate three times this morning and there are no monsters at all, just the odd chicken, llama, deer. Most odd.
Well now it seems to have settled down - a giant spider and a mongbat, as well as assorted animals. West gate, which exits onto a beach, is similar, the odd alligator and one of those armoured biped sssts (?).
