As Jason and Co. hauled ass to his cave, Asteria joined the quickly moving group, [color=F0E68C]“So, we have some more craziness to deal with? Jason, you seem to have an idea what might be going on…Also, I’m assuming the others are still on their way. I wouldn’t want to handle this whole death vibe thingy with just the four of us.”[/color]

Without breaking pace, Jason promptly responded to his comrade via [b][Telepathy II][/b], [color=darkred]'I'm not sure about what the fuck this Dungeon bullshit is... But I'm ABSOLUTELY [b][u]CERTAIN[/u][/b] that I know where the core is..... In fact, I swear that it was somehow calling to me, because an unsettling urge to see it came over me the moment the the cave transformed.  If this core thing is what I think it is.... Whoever controls it will have complete dominion over the entire cave. As for the others-- I have no idea whether or not they intend to join us.  As a matter of fact, I surmise a few of them paid my words no heed at all.  If we can arrive at the core before anyone- or anything can... We should have no problem at all. Hurry now! It's not much further!'[/color]

After grouping up with Asteria, it didn't take long to reach Jason's tunnel.  Thankfully, the pile of rocks concealing the entrance appeared undisturbed, meaning they were the first ones to get to the core.  Frantically, Jason dove atop the pile, stripping the rocks away as fast as he could before throwing himself inside.  Grabbing the 6 crystals he'd left stashed there earlier, Jason braced his mind, and immediately used the [b][Source Crystal][/b] to scan this strange 'Dungeon Core', quickly averting his vision if the resulting effect began to overwhelm his mental defences.
