Alakai shrugged at Kali's question. "Not really. My profession is cooking, remember? I can make better food than the starter ones already. I just need to buy the ingredients in town, which are pretty cheap. And we have the money now." Then he whispered the second part so the npc didn't hear. "Plus, I kinda feel not offering him food would make us jerks. It's like they're still npc's, but also people. It's weird."

The three kept on moving, Alakai going in front in case there were already some respawns. Though even when they passed the resting area no monsters appeared. And then they came to a split in the road. And right away Kali started panicking. He wouldn't help but grin, putting a hand on her shoulder as she was pacing back and forth between the two entrances. "Don't worry, when we passed here I made sure to note from which side we came. Beside, I still remember what path to take from the beta." He pointed to the left entrance, and started walking again. "Also, reaching this point means that we're only another 10 away from the entrance, if we also had to fight in between. Meaning we should be out in five to seven minutes I think?" 

Then finally, just as they reached the small cave that held the cave entrance on the other side, one spider seemed to have respawned. That same spider Alakai had killed the moment they had entered the cave. "Seems this cave wants to pour a bit more salt into our wounds after that horrific encounter with the Queen Spider. Though for some reason, this one doesn't look so scary any more." Alakai spoke as he got into a fighting position, walking straight towards the creature and ready to finally finish this place of nightmares. Granted, he wouldn't by haunted by it as spiders didn't scare him, and this still felt like he was just playing a game. It was hard to see any of this as real after all, right?

(I really felt like I should finish my post here, but feel free to have them all go back to the small farming village if you want.)
