I fighting through the soldiers right now and ao far the items work. I was wondering if the dragon essence is suppose to be a permanant stat boost or temporary? Because after I level up, my health gets smaller. Also when I'm fighting the soldiers, sometimes when I attack them the damage says something like -3 or something and heals them.
