"So a maximum of two spiders at once, and after that we would need a break as well. Well, there's not many of these large ones here, but the smaller ones come in groups of two to four. And four smaller ones do about the same damage as one large spider." He thought out loud. Alakai had always been into theorycrafting. Basically using the numbers to calculate the optimum path to take, skills to use, stats to assign, and other such things. It was a lot harder to think on the fly, rather than spend an evening calculating. But at least he felt he was better at it than the average player.

The man moved to the box he had mentioned before, not finding it surprising any more that there was indeed a box full of torches standing near the entrance. So much was already pretty much the same as the game, so why not this? Once he had lit it with one of the torches at the entrance he walked back and gave Kali's question a quick thought. "Well, no, not yet. But according to my calculations, if you basically get 200 threat per 4 seconds at most, there shouldn't be a problem. If we have to fight a group I can just divide my attacks as evenly as possible, and nothing will come after you. Had you been the same level it would have been a different story though. Once I hit level 20 I can get my threat skill. By that time I think you'll be level...17 at least, since you still level up faster and get a difficulty bonus."

Alakai held the torch out for Kali, as he had to keep his hands free. "It seems the torches in this world provide us with more visibility than the ones in the game, so that's a plus. But you'll have to hold on to it, seeing as I need both hands to fight." An assassin or sorcerer had an advantage in this cave, as they used weapons in one hand. But luckily they were in a party right now.
