[@Polaris North] The tactic worked well in Kurvia's favor. The weakened state of the goblins meant they could not get within the arc of the katana as Kurvia moved, making them short work of them. A sharp snapping resounded through the halls as Amrec cracked his knuckles, the normally pale skin drenched now in splashes of red. Casually he walked back to his axes and yanked them from their dirt sheathe and made his way back over to Kurviva with a smile on his face [color=f7976a]"I'm suprised you simply want to be a supporter Kurvia. With the skills I have seen, you would make it just fine as an adventurer."[/color] He seemed almost proud in his tone of voice [color=f7976a]"Well then, there are more monsters just waiting to get a taste of our blades. We shouldn't keep'em waiting, eh?"[/color] He spoke eagerly as he patted Kurvia's shoulder then took the lead once more down the lit up stone halls of the dungeon. It appeared as though the first day in the dungeon would go off without a hitch. The small pouch that had started out empty was now filling up with monster stones, at this rate it would fill up before long ... HP: -30 MP: -40 The bright sun struck your eyes as you left the dungeon alongside Amrec, the bag used to hold the stones filled to the brim. With Amrec at the helm, nothing you came across posed any threat. You are virtually unharmed save for few scratches which no longer bled. Amrec seemed pretty happy as you made it into the courtyard [color=f7976a]"Hah! That sure was a good little bit of exercise."[/color] For how easily he took care of the level 1 monsters, he never once broke a sweat. A hard pat struck your back as Amrec congratulated you [color=f7976a]"You did well lass! I see some great potential in ya!"[/color] The scene around was a little different from earlier as adventurers exited out of the dungeon in mass and others walked in to replace them. [color=f7976a]"Now, let's turn these in. Afterwards, I'll treat you to a meal at the Tilted Orc. Sounds good, doesn't it?"[/color] He laughed heartily [@Achronum] The pair of goblins responded only with screeches, seemingly ignorant of the beating they were being given. This time Renji's strikes were too much for their bodies to handle and at last they fell to join the other stones that littered the ground now. To your left Mare and Misha were finishing up with a pair of kobolds, but it seemed like this fight was over. [@Trainerblue192] MP: -20 HP: -40 Lighting shot out from your hand and struck the first kobold, annihilating its leg causing it to smash head first into the ground and skid a few feet towards you. Misha finished it off by piercing its hide with her spear, though her movements seemed far more sluggish than before. You managed to catch the other Kobold in time before it reached Misha. A sharp pain spread across your right shoulder as the kobold dug its claws in before disintegrating from your spell. Blood trickled down your arm but at last your were victorious. .... [@Achronum][@Trainerblue192] Mare = HP: -20 MP: -60 Renji = HP: -30 MP: -40 The three of you continued to take down monsters in the dungeon together after Misha gave the dagger to Mare. Mare's magic, Misha's skill with a spear, and Renji's striking power made easy work of any challenge. However, the two of you began to notice that with each battle Misha seemed to slow down more and more. After gathering plenty of stones for the three of you, you finally left the dungeon. Misha at this point was using her spear to balance [color=f26522]"We did so well together! I can't wait to trade these in and go get fo-"[/color] Before she could finish, she collapsed on the ground, the spear falling besides her. [@chukklehed][@Duoya] The skeleton lumbered forward and released an unearthly screech only a twisted creature such as itself could. A tainted spear raised ready to strike just as Klou brought down everything she had on the Skeleton's skull, its slow speed making it an easy target. Shards of white bone shot from the monster's skull and with the hard hit so did the stone. The bones of the skeleton first crumbled into a small mass before turning into dust along with the deadly spear it held. Along with the stone were two arm bones, a drop from this particular monstrosity. Skeletons like this are hardly found alone, so it was lucky this one appeared to have been separated from its pack. .... Klou: -30 HP, -40 MP May: -40 HP, -20 MP The two of you worked together from that point on throughout the dungeon and did not encounter anything more than goblins and kobolds in the rest of your battles. After a successful run through the first floor, your bags were nearly filled with stones. With a hefty first haul, you both head back up to the surface back to the courtyard in which you first saw each other. Now the option was left to accompany each other the guild house to cash these stones in or go your separate ways. Isis would likely be eager to hear how her two new adventures did. [@CriticalHit] A small smile shown on Priscilla's lips as you turned briefly back to her. The effects of Doom Call seemed to be wearing off just as you made your move, but it was too late for the goblin. It fell without giving too much of a fight back, now nothing remained of your targets except for the stones that they dropped. Soft footsteps behind was your first indication the Winter Maiden had closed in [color=silver]"You handled your first fight quite well. It seems like you may have enjoyed yourself too."[/color] A soft giggle escaped her at the last sentence [color=silver]"Now, collect the stones and let's move on. I wish to see how you fight a few more times.."[/color] HP -30, MP -40 After a few battles with kobolds and goblins, the Winter Maiden left you to delve deep into the dungeon where you could not yet follow. However, she left you with the acknowledgement that your skills had impressed her. It was not too long that you were able to fill your pouch with stones and thus moved back to the surface to receive your first reward. The sun was bright as you exited the Dungeon, many other first time adventures seemed to be celebrating their first day in the dungeon as well. Out of the corner of your eye, sitting against the fountain in the center, was another Anubis member called Selene. She had only been an adventurer for a month at this point, so she was still pretty new herself. The features of a weretiger were pretty obvious, the color of her fur a gorgeous white on her ears and tail. Sharp blue eyes like sapphires were looking lazily to the sky, her right arm propped on her right knee as she sat on the ground. It was clear she just left the dungeon by the traces of sweat on her skin and the exhaustion expressed in her face.
