As Fujiwara braced himself for what could possibly be his last fight, he saw a mysterious figure come up to him and simply annihilate all of the Kobolds coming at him before tossing him a teleport crystal. Fumbling to catch the crystal, Fujiwara breathed a huge sigh of relief before slumping down against the wall and leaning back on it as the figure walked away. "Thanks, but..." he trailed off before opening up his menu and checking the dungeon map. As it popped up, he scrolled through the floors and noticed that two of his party members (whoever they were) were already on their way up. Laughing at himself for his stupidity at scaling the labyrinth to the eighth floor, Fujiwara sighed before adding the crystal to his inventory. "I've been stuck in here all night watching the same corridor for any hostile units. It's at the point where I can predict monster respawns and movements accurately enough. Next group should be spawning in an hour and make it here 10 minutes after that, so I'll give them until then. They'll make it, I'm sure." Smiling a bit to himself, Fujiwara finally passed out and went slack against the wall of the labyrinth. ----------------------------------------------------------- Ayame looked at Suki with worry before nodding and dashing up the stairs to the inn's second floor. She quickly knocked on Paka's door and, without waiting for a response, opened it up. If Paka was awake, then surely he must have gotten the message as well. "Paka, did you get the message too?" she asked hurriedly, wanting to get to waking up Yui as well so she could head out and join the search party for Fujiwara.
