Asura cut his gaze over to Zieglar when he laughed and explained some things about defenses. [color=red]"I've always figured a good defense makes a great offense. Learn to deal with pain, and how much you can handle, before going and taking the offense. Nevermind the fact watching a tired opponent try to defend is rather amusing."[/color] He stated before bracing himself. He watched Trent's stance. [color=red]"It's how I've survived so far. Big defense, counter attacks, and then sheer brute force."[/color] He continued as he shifted the 'shield' to take the full force.

Sure he could have angled it to make it so his fist would slide away, but that would defeat the purpose of taking a blow he asked for.  Trent proceeded to apologize if things hurt too much for the amorphous slime. [color=red]"Never apologize for a requested strike, kid."[/color] Asura said before the punch hit. It was a good hit, solid, but a little lackluster. Exactly how he wanted it. Apparently he didn't weigh a whole hell of a lot so he went tumbling. Stopping he 'sat up' and let the shield return to the fake looking hand. [color=red]"Good hit, maybe if we live through the dungeon I'll get better defenses."[/color] The slime stated before melting into his puddle form, no point wasting stamina.

Now onto the nitty gritty. Zieglar began to explain about the Undead Dungeon and why they were so dangerous. Fighting the same monster numerous times seemed like a pain in the ass, but the freshly dead probably had pisspoor wills due to confusion. Then again anger tended to flood things out so who knew. [color=red]"First, how does one even combat a spirit without magic? Second, there's no healing herbs within the cave anymore and Ardur is our only healer...do you know of an herb gathering spot?"[/color] Asura explained and then asked, having no way to heal except the spellcaster wasn't in the best interest.

[color=red][i]System, inventory check.[/i][/color] He thought, it had been a long damn time since he checked his inventory. Aside from what the system said when he played with some bones and stones.
