Just like in the game, enemies disappeared after 15 seconds in a burst of sparkly energy. And just like in the game, every time they beat one there was something laying beside it on the ground. Kali had picked up the most common item so far, and Alakai grabbed all the gold and kept it separate. They had only gathered 200 gold or so, but it was still enough. And the spider legs...well, surely a shop would buy them. Though after just about two hours both of them were starting to get tired. Alakai didn't show it much. He didn't want to show it but he was having too much fun to think of how tired he was. He did agree that they should rest, though they had to push just a little bit further.

"We can't just yet. There is a small safe zone just up ahead. We should go there so I can start a camp fire and see if crafting still works as well. I actually took the cooking sub-class, so I'm pretty sure I can make some food with some spider legs and a mana regenerating tea with some of the...ingredients I managed to pick up." She probably didn't want to know what was in said tea. As it was made from a special species of fungus and water. The fungus grew in pretty much every cave so he had picked up some along the way.

The next fight happened only moments later. And this time it was a little different. This wasn't the end of the dungeon yet, but this was just before a safe zone. And though in the beta it hadn't been like this, there were three large spiders guarding that area now. Apparently they had stumbled upon one of the cave's spider nests... "Oh shit...this isn't good." Alakai whispered as he looked around the corner. "I'm glad my tanking passive ranked up during that last fight. It's not a lot, but going from four hp a sec to seven definitely helps. For this fight, better stay back a bit. And don't cleanse poison until I have all three poisons on me okay? I'll run in first and draw their attention. You come after me as soon as all three are close to me." He thought a bit more, wondering how they could increase their chances of beating all three right now. "I have an idea too. Monks are quick, so this might work. Once I almost have the second one down, tell me if you have enough mana for another heal or not. If not, I'll start kiting the third so you can regenerate just a little bit for another heal." It was a pretty standard tactic for some raids in mmorpg's. When a group was too large to handle, all you could do was kite or use crowd control. But they didn't have the latter. And usually you did kiting with a second tank. So he hoped this would work.

"Here I go!" The man stormed into the larger area, and immediately attacked one of the spiders as he ran past it. A basic attack, but enough to get a bit of aggro. The other two spiders turned, glared at Alakai, then charged at him as well. Now it was finally time to use his cooldown. One large spider took about 7 seconds, so he hoped to finish 1 off in the 15 seconds his skill lasted. "Brawl!" His fists and legs exploded into a whirlwind around him again, doing about 100 damage on each enemy. He immediately followed that up with a second brawl, to increase his threat enough so Kali wouldn't get aggro. Luckily during the last hour or so he had been able to train his dodging skills. It was hard getting used to how your body almost seemed to move automatically when you wanted to do something. But he was getting used to it by now. The spiders attacked as well, and now every two or three attacks Alakai managed to dodge one of them. "Flowing water." He then spoke, his entire demeanour suddenly changing to what looked like either giving up, or complete tranquility. His movements suddenly lost their strength. And as if by magic, he instead started blocking and deflecting attacks like a martial arts master from an action movie.

By now, Kali was probably already casting to remove the poisons on him. It was weird that he had gotten used to the feeling of the poison. Maybe because you didn't feel nearly as much pain in this world as they were used to. The feeling actually kind of resembled sore muscles after manual labour. Still though, the poisons had to be removed. Being killed aside, the man could feel that the lower his health went, the more pain his body felt overall. It seemed that that hadn't changed from the real world. The more wounds you sustained, the more pain you were in. So it was now a test of his will to fight through the pain and Kali's mana holding out.
