[color=#FFF394]"You'll find that a lot of monsters have cores and stuff like that."[/color] Clarisse responded matter of fact almost a bit boredly, examining one of her finger nails a bit closer after she said it, as if to make sure it wasn't broken, before looking back around to everyone.

[color=#FFF394]"But most peasants you meet won't be able to even handle one of those, so the core has some value to some people."[/color] Claisse asserted. Nodding at what Samuel had to say some. She then made her way over to the unoccupied button seeing that everyhone else was hitting one.

[color=#FFF394]"Right then, You all ARE pretty safe with me here, just make sure you're careful what you touch. Might as well do a thorough job if we're going to go through the trouble of it all."[/color]

She said with a bit of a smug expression on her face, before she made her way over and elbowed the last button that wasn't being pressed by the group.

When each button was pressed they made a small click sound before suddenly the room began to shake briefly, causing Clarisse to look a bit more alert and ready her fan. But thankfully it did not seem like the group was in immediate danger, instead a wall began to slide open revealing another pathway which had been hidden, it was a dimly lit stone corrior which was only wide enough for about three of them to stand side by side, but it looked like some arrows had been written on the wall in a blue arcane color that glowe,d slightly, indicating to follow the path, perhaps it was left behind by other people who had ventured on the first floor before the floor had shifted around again as the floors tended to from time to time according to people who scouted and investigated the floors more regularly to give reports about their current status.

From what the group could see the new path revealed started to incline down gradually with some steps.

[color=#FFF394]"it looks like we may have found a shortcut."[/color] Clarisse eventually said. 


[color=#FFF394]"Might as well check it out, they mainly care about you guys showing that you can beat the first floor boss to advance, course extra stuff isn't bad along the way but the sooner we beat that boss the sooner the job is successful."[/color]
