You may only gain this bonus once

All food you have not eaten are forfeited.

There is an old hermit up on this mountain that will teach you his fighting style. He only teaches those who have scaled this mountain. You must train with him for 50 posts (Losing no stats) After the 50 posts are made your Fighting Skill is increased by 2 and he teleports you to the base of the mountain.

If you do not wish to receive his training you must walk down the mountain the same way you came, no stat losses will be gained however and the time is cut in half.

Departing the spaceport on foot, Hyede started along the road that leads to the great mountain. Along the way he reviewed the information he’d earned about the climb ahead.

{1/10}

[Hyede]

The climb would likely take him several days considering the sheer size of the mountain and the fact that it emanated a field that seemed to drain all those that attempt the journey. The climb was possible however as evidenced by the three camps that dwell on the mountainside.

{2/10}

[Hyede]

Working out the math in his head, Hyede assembled an equation that would allow him to carry just enough supplies to get him to the summit. He based the umber he used on the knowledge gained from the pod’s computer and soon arrived at the amount of food he would have to bring with him.

{3/10}

[Hyede]

With that number in mind he finalized his plans. Upon arrival at the first base camp he would acquire the necessary supplies, even though they were obscenely overpriced.

{4/10}

[Hyede]

Satisfied that he had his trip properly planned out, Hyede continued to walk along the road that led to the first base camp at the base of the mountain.

{5/10}

[Hyede]

Along the way he took the opportunity to examine the side of the great stone landmark while he still had the chance. The rout up to the second camp was pretty clearly marked.

{6/10}

[Hyede]

The third camp would apparently be pretty easy to find as well aside from the fact that he’d still have half a mountain to go at that point.

{7/10}

[Hyede]

Continuing along the road, Hyede could see the first camp more clearly now and decided it time to get more properly dressed for the strenuous climb ahead. As he walked, the young man started to unbutton is shirt and shrugged off the rarely worn garment.

{8/10}

[Hyede]

Truth me told, he much preferred to go shirtless. With his skin open to the elements, everything just seemed that much more alive. Even the desolate landscape around him was marginally improved as he tied the arms of the shirt around his waist and continued on.

[Hyede]

Walking in though the village gates, Hyede proceeded strait into the general store. He had a list of exactly what he’d need which he produced from his pocket and handed to the store clerk. Barring a backpack to carry his supplies, Hyede’s purchase totaled 44,400Z. That was a cumulative cost of 3,600Z for the first leg of the trip. Another 4,800Z for the second leg. Then finally a whopping 36,000Z to cover the supplies for the third and final leg of the journey. Needless to say the shop owner was glad to see that kind of cash and happily did everything he could to oblige Hyede while the supplies were rounded up.

{10/10}

[Hyede]

Grumbling as he strapped the backpack on his bare shoulders, Hyede started the march up the mountain by exiting the shop in a huff.

{1/30}

[Hyede]

Heading out of the small village, Hyede took the path that led further up the mountain and was clearly marked by a sign as the “Road” to the next camp.

{2/30}

[Hyede]

As he walked along, Hyede looked to his wristwatch ad proceeded to program the timer. Based on the information he’d learned from the pod’s computer, he estimate that during the first leg, he’d need to rest and refresh himself every five hours to keep in top form.

{3/30}

[Hyede]

On the second leg it would be every four hours. And on the final leg, since the trip would become truly grueling, he estimate that every hour he would have to take a short break and eat.
