Elik accepted the party invite as it came up. He took a few seconds to get used to the unique system of the game's menus, or lack of one, for that matter. It was slightly disconcerting to be without much of a standard UI, but it was just another thing he would get used to as time passed. To be frank, he appreciated the immersion, if at the cost of a more streamlined mechanic. Elik glanced around at the others as they still got there bearings. From the look of things, they had a pretty standard party. With himself as a tank, they looked to have a melee dps, a ranged dps, two spell casters, and what looked like a potential crowd control setup from Oz. A pretty standard party, minus a healer of course, but the first aid skill seemed to cover that, and he planned to level that up. A tank that could heal was certainly a bonus.

It seemed like everyone was ready to go, but no one was taking the first step. Elik figured that if no one else would, then he would go first. He did have massive health after all. "Already going," he said in response to Midori. "See you on the other side." With that, Elik stepped through the light of the door. It didn't seem to be blinding, but it replaced the scenery around him. Eventually, it was replaced with a dusty old chamber, lit by a single torch. Elik drew his sword and shield, preparing for combat. When no threat appeared, he moved to the door. The way through appeared to be difficult to see through, but the torch appeared useable. Glancing at the party, it appeared only the wand user had a free hand. "Hey, Mushi," he said. "Grab that torch, would you? I think the rest of us need both hands to fight." When someone had grabbed the torch, Elik move forward through the hallway, taking the lead. It made sense for the guy with the massive shield to be in front.

Coming to another room, the door suddenly closed behind him. Familiar with video games, Elik braced for a fight. When the room lit, he got a good look at the enemies; four goblin looking creatures, all armed differently. Looking at each one, he got a good idea of their damage potential. Before the fight began, Elik said to the party "Alright! I'll hold their attention. Midori, if I'm getting swarmed, pull one off me. Everyone, go for them in order of the most damaging. Bombs, then robe guy, then sword, then arrows." With that, Elik charged at the one with bombs, his shield raised, and swung at the little green thing. Combat had begun.
