[@Achronum] Wrath and fury flowed with every strike you landed, the magic of your spell allowing you to move through the goblins with ease. The goblin moved its mouth to shriek but was promptly silenced as your elbow crushed its throat, the following knee putting an end to its life. There was nothing the other goblin could do by itself. Without the support of numbers, a lone goblin was an easy target for an adventurer. Any feeble attack it made in retaliation was futile thanks to your boosted speed. In this instance, the foe was weak and you were strong and so it turned to ash, like the rest of its kin. The goblin that had just recovered burst into the same shadows and ash, a lighting bolt shooting right though its weak hide. A male voice having warned you of its recovery. Soon after, you were approached by two adventurers. One was a spirit and the other was a werewolf, the spirit having put his hand on your shoulder. The werewolf bounced in front of you, an energetic smile on her face [color=f26522]"Those were some cool moves! Won't you please party up with us?"[/color] She asked with wide eyes [color=f26522]"Think of all the monsters we can kill!"[/color] The tone of her voice was a bit too cheery. [@Trainerblue192] Misha stood defensively in front of you while at the same time watching the Renard fight with surprising speed and power. The Renard managed to take care of the two goblins he face with a reckless blitz of attacks. A bolt of lighting flies from your hand and blasts the goblin in the stomach, taking care of the last monster with a flash.[color=f26522]"I would watch it, Ma-re. You did lose your sword."[/color] Misha said softly, only audible for you, while smiling brightly exposing pearly white canines. Next thing you knew, she darted in front of your new friend. Misha moved in front of the Renard with a bounce in her step, an energetic smile on her face [color=f26522]"Those were some cool moves! Won't you please party up with us?"[/color] She asked with wide eyes [color=f26522]"Think of all the monsters we can kill!"[/color] The tone of her voice was a bit too cheery. It was likely she was hoping he would get her closer to those potato snacks. [@chukklehed] The skeleton shambles closer with eerily erratic movements, like at any moment it might break off into a sprint. Its gaze seems fixated on you alone. You spend enough time thinking that you recall that members of the Balder Familia frequently capture/tame monsters for fights in the arena above, but you didn't see many of the familia's adventurers entering the dungeon today. Normally they go in large group if they are getting monsters. You hear a different set of footsteps come from your rear, and you see that it is May. She must have taken care of her monsters already which means she might be able to help out with the skeleton warrior. It may walk particularly fast, but its attacks are a different story. [@Duoya] Klou seems to be in deep thought at you approach her, also noticing the skeleton getting almost near enough that it will be a real danger. A story that older adventurers often told is that skeletons were aspiring adventurers that died in the dungeon and were never recovered, though the story is completely untrue. It is possible that Klou knows more about this monster, as she was part of the familia for longer than you were despite starting today as well. [@Polaris North] Amrec was facing only one last skeleton by the time you returned and he seemed to be alright. He caught the weapon of the last skeleton warrior in his axe, and proceeded to headbutt the skeleton's head so hard it fractured before the other axe sliced through the bony spine and it disintegrated into black ash. His breathing was a little heavy as he turned to face you, and that's when you noticed a small amount of blood dripping down a small cut on his cheek. A large hand wiped the blood away as he walked back, bearing a faint smile as he extended a hand holding the three stones, which were larger than the ones you collected so far [color=f9ad81]"I'll have to inform the guild after we finish today. One is plausible, not three."[/color] He mentioned seriously with a small grunt then relaxed [color=f9ad81]"Ready to continue, lass?"[/color] He asked, voice loosening up once more. [@CriticalHit] Her smile kept as she responded, nodding [color=silver]"I think most adventurers have that kind of feeling in the beginning. The dungeon is dangerous, but also exciting."[/color] It was hard to believe that she was only 23 with the wisdom in her voice. If there was anyone who knew the meaning of hard work, it was Priscilla. Aspiring adventurers were drawn to her story for its inspiration. Recently, Priscilla has been training a different kind of skill at Anubis's insistence that was gaining her quite a bit of popularity. It turns out that the Winter Maiden has a voice that seemed to match her heavenly appearance [color=silver]"If you can, just try to relax. You are going to do fine, I just know it."[/color] Her eyes blinked closed for a second, looking at you. It seemed she was trying to make eye contact, but was just so slightly off. The dungeon was now dead ahead, and the very next moments would take you down to either riches or ruin.
