"I quickly realized that there weren't just four badgers, but seven more hidden in the nearby bushes. They all rushed towards me at once, and the following fight turned into a real marathon. I managed to kill three of them before they reached me, but had to draw my daggers to face the remaining eight.
None of them were above level 5, but I still took quite a bit of damage as I cut them down one by one. My perception sphere, along with my instincts and ability to sense danger, helped minimize the hits I took, but avoiding all the attacks was impossible.
I finished the fight with only 56 health. My cloak, once again soaked in blood, was now full of holes and tears. And the worst part was that I didn't even gain a damn level from it.
