Sharp claws and snarling teeth come closer as you make your move. The blade cuts into the kobold's flesh but it does not fully stop the monster's attack. A sharp pain erupts in your shoulder as as razor-like claws slice across. Warm blood begins to soak the fabric however it is not a deep wound. After the exchanging of blows, the kobold is left much worse off and it falls...disintegrating into nothing but ash and shadows. The small victory is yours.

Up ahead, the last of the kobolds fall by Amrec's hand and he comes back to you. His two axes return to their place on his hips and he pats you on the back of the shoulder not wounded. Speaking of which, the bleeding had pretty much stopped already "Not too bad, I must say." A warm smile on his face as he picked up the stone dropped and extended it in an open hand to you "Now that you've killed your first monster, I think its safe to say you're a real adventurer now." Over where Amrec had been fighting, several more stones glistening in the light.

HP: -15

Teeth shatter as your uppercut connects, throwing the beast off-balance and unable to properly attack you. The final kick to its chest is enough to fell the monster, its body shattering into nothing but black dust leaving behind a single crystal in its place. However taking that one out gave enough time for the other kobold to come at you once more. A single claw rips the skin of your leg, a long gash appearing along its length. The attack was not in vain as your kick also connects, smashing the kobold's skull and forcing to face the same fate as its partner.

You have accomplished what that other adventurer could not handle and while you have take some damage, victory is nonetheless yours right now. Now that you are no longer in imminent danger, you spot one of the kobold's fangs near the stone it dropped. A drop item to be precise, something that is a little more valuable than just the stone.

@Trainerblue192

The goblin stopped its wild frenzy just as the sword pierced its chest, causing a violent shock throughout its entire body. It turned out that channeling crackling shot through the sword allowed the weapon to act like a high-speed projectile. The goblin is vanquished as you run up, the sword dropping to the ground and ultimately shattering before you could reach it. The only remnant of the weapon is the handle. Misha uses her hand to wipes some sweat from her fore-head, letting out a sigh of relief "We did it Mare! But what about that person that was yelling earlier? We should go see if they are okay!" She said with worry, her hearing was much better than yours after all. Four stones lay where you vanquished the goblins, Misha already picking them up so the two of you could head out.

Misha sees that your weapon is destroyed and frowns "Mare, look what you did to your sword already. Lucky for you I have a spare dagger!" Misha reaches to a sheath on her thigh and pulls out a ordinary-looking dagger, the kind the guild gives out to most adventurers to start out. Her hand holds out the weapon, expecting you to take it.

@chukklehed

The two goblins wasted no time in coming after you, one slightly ahead of the other. They were not incredibly fast or strong, but you had the feeling that in enough numbers they could present a real threat. The first goblin swung its crude knife as it got close, slightly off to your right, aiming for your chest. The second goblin came up quickly behind, moving more to your left and lifted its weapon above its head in preparation to stab your side.

@Duoya
HP: -20

You meet the goblin head-on and attempt to disarm it, however the club comes down hard on your hand. The feeling is much like punching a solid rock with all of your force. Focused on striking your hand, the goblin can't react to your dagger coming at it. The blade slices deep into the soft flesh, the eyes of the goblin shredded rendering it blind. Already wounded, the impact from the kick is more than the goblin seems able to handle and it bursts into ash and shadows that seep into the ground. A single, small stone left its place. The eyes that glowed down the corridor now can be put to bodies, as five regular goblins come out from the shadows and begin to charge towards you.

What an interesting thing to wake up to XD

Interacting with:

Cinna was tempted to sneak out when everyone was sleeping and have a little explore around the school to satisfy her curiosity, but her conscience, despite its small voice, convinced her to simply call it in for the night. The chance to look around would come soon enough.

Next morning, she got up and took care of all her hygiene needs like brushing her teeth and such. The outfit she had picked out for today was her absolute favorite, it was light as allowed her to move well while looking cool. There wasn't a lot of conservation before, during, or even really after breakfast. Cinna didn't mind because it allowed her to focus on the luxury breakfast in front of her that she took her time enjoying. Her mind only started to think about the fact they would be picking teams today when she had finished. It was not a huge deal who her team was going to be, they would either get along with her or they would bend a knee. There simply was no other choice for them.

Cinna walked up to her locker and put in her code, giving her access to Sovereign Right. A smile came over her lips as she retrieved it, the weapon currently in its compact-carrying mode. The weapon was much more than a simple tool to use against the Grimm for her, it was the symbol of her determination to become a huntress. She slid its holster around her chest but she didn't place it in just yet, she wanted to hold it for the ride to the initiation grounds. A fierceness shined in her eyes as the locker was closed. There was no going back for her. It was this or nothing. No one was going to stand in her way.

Her foot tapped gently as she sat in her seat, eager to get out of this machine and into the fight. Was she nervous? Sure, anyone would be but she would be damned she if let anyone else see it. Sovereign Right sat in her lap, hand tightly gripped around its handle, when the headmaster decided to finally start talking. So it was completely random then? A smirk crossed her lips. Aeshcel sure won't be happy about that. She was already planning on get to the ruins first, the spirit of competition burning deep in her chest.

"Oh, and when I said a few minutes, I meant ten seconds ago."

Wait, what? Cinna didn't get to properly process that thought before the whole lot of them were being dropped from the sky. As the air flew into her face, she started to laugh as Sovereign Right extended to its full length "Woohoo!" She screamed out in joy. Though it was technically falling, she felt like she was flying through the air. Alright, Cinna, what the is the game plan? Not smash into the ground, that was goal number 1. She pointed the lance-weapon behind her as she got closer and closer to the ground. Once she reached the tree-tops, she activated the thrusters on Sovereign Right at full power which slowed down her velocity while pushing her forward. Her feet touched the ground and slid a few feet, like dirt-surfing, due to the speed she retained.

She immediately turned to her scroll to see where these ruins were supposedly located. After studying for a few seconds, she nodded to herself in confirmation "Got it. No time to lose, gotta get moving." She said to herself and started sprinting in the direction she believed the ruins to be while watching for other students and Grimm. Honestly, she would cool with any of those from last night. They didn't seem like rough characters so it would be easy to operate around them. Adrenaline was still flowing through her veins from the drop and she was looking for a fight along the way. It would be boring to reach the ruins and not meet any Grimm along the way.

Yay, it's random just like Cinna wanted

A whitish-blue bolt of lightning shot from you hand, the light illuminating the corridor more as it pierced through the weak hide of the goblin you aimed at. The smell of burning flesh filled the air briefly as a roughly fist-sized hole was left in the chest of the goblin before it turned to ash and shadows "Right behind ya!" Misha said confidently as she followed right behind you. The other goblin tried to swing its knife at you from the left while you were engaged with the other, but Misha stepped in and caught the attack with the shaft of her spear. Once blocked, she quickly used the end of her spear to lift herself up and kick the offending goblin back with force before dropping next to you "I got the one on the left, let's finish this Mare!" she called out, spurned on more by your war cry.

The goblin you had just locked blades with came back at you, its knife swinging wildly now as it let out another high-pitched squeal. The goblin Misha had kicked got up once more, though slightly wounded, and went after its aggressor. When she went to thrust her spear, the goblin managed to dodge it and thrust its knife towards her. Misha's sleeve tore open from the knife but she mainly managed to move out of the way and counter by knocking it down to the ground, and plunging the spear into its neck vanquishing it. Just as she finished up with her goblin, you see a brown-haired human run right past you guys despite your current fight. A faint yelling can be heard ahead as the wounded human leaves your vision.

@Achronum
HP-30
A rewarding crack sounds off as your knee connects with its skull, the roundhouse kick connecting and knocking the creature off its feet and back some. You follow through well-enough with your next strike but you feel the impact as the kobold's claws slash mostly across your front-plate armor. However, a small burning sensation lets you know the armor did not take all of the damage for you. Bones snap as you connect with his upper right shoulder, the sounds of tearing muscles as the limb goes completely limb. The kobold howls in pain and anger before it lunges for you, looking to sink its teeth into your shoulder or neck. On the ground, the other kobold slowly rises clearly disoriented from the strike but appears to be recovering. Soon it will be after you again.

@Polaris North

Amrec seems to have the attention of the the other four kobolds, leaving you free to engage the one after you. The blade slides out of the sheath quickly but not with the skill you intended. The iron blade slices into the kobold's arm as it attempts to swipe across your chest with its razor sharp claws but stops after hitting bone lacking the speed to cut deeper. Blood heavily drips from the arm as it howls in pain, but it does not relent in its assault. Teeth snarling, the kobold dashes towards you and leaps off the ground planning to strike you with its undamaged arm. The speed and blood lust of the creature will make dodging safely unlikely.

Meanwhile, Amrec strikes down another kobold by throwing his axe an nailing it right in the fore-head. It seems that you are less there to support Amrec and more he is there to observe how you handle yourself "How ya doing there lassie?" He yells out to you.

@Duoya

The dungeon is silent as you go down your path, your own footsteps providing the only ambiance as he you make your way. Even with the lighting, it is difficult to see far down the corridor. A figure becomes more visible as it draws closer, a goblin. This one however is a darker shade of green than normal ones and somewhat larger, in his hand a stone club. The monster squeal with anguish as it breaks into a run, lifting the club above its head. What sounded like just a simple cry seemed to be a call of reinforcments, as you spot several more pairs of red eyes appear and move towards you from the farther down the tunnel.

@chukklehed

Neither of you exchanged words with each other and simply went down into the dungeons on your own but you manage to trail behind her well. At the very least, there shouldn't be any surprise coming from her way. If there was one piece of knowledge that the Isis Familia had drilled into every member, it was the basics of first-aid and wound management. Applying pressure, making tourniquets, making banadges from torn cloth...everything one needed to stay alive longer without healing magic. While you can't see what May is up against right now, you are within hearing distance should she yell.

Two cracks form in the wall behind you as you are walking, the green-skinned bodies of two goblins slip out and onto the floor. They glare at you before moving towards you. Sharp, jagged pieces of unrefined metal in their hands, they come both at once. There is no hesitation in their movements, their one desire at that moment to see you bleeding dead on the dungeon floor.

@Duoya

Despite the girl's distance in front of may, it appears to be to closing as she walks towards the Hume Bunny. The way that the bunny-girl was walking and seemingly looking around gave the impression that she was waiting for something or stalling for time, as she looked like the type that could move pretty quickly. This trend continued until you were only a few feet away from catching up to her. She appeared to be quite young much like yourself and the equipment she wore was not something more experienced adventurers of the familia wore.

@chukklehed

The werewolf girl didn't seem to have any intentions of approaching you directly though she still got closer as you slowed your pace. Even as the distance finally close to just a few feet, she didn't seem like she was going to initiate the conversation, it might be that she is a little shy. The other new adventurers seemed to have already gone into the dungeon and the courtyard was clearing up a bit.

@Trainerblue192

A small giggle escaped Misha's lips at Mare's bold statement, though she nodded firmly in agreement "You sure are confident, Ma-re. You got it, we'll crush the first floor together!" Excitement seeped into her tone being the energetic individual she was. A wide, toothy grin shown on Misha's face as she was challenged to a race. Mare got a small lead at the beginning but Misha quickly caught up, and surpassed him at the end. Surely if this has been a swimming race, the result would have much different "I win! Now you gotta buy me some Potato snacks!" She said triumphantly. The two of you passed several other newbie looking adventurers appearing to be preparing to enter the dungeon themselves.

The two of you descend down into the first floor of the dungeon, there are many corridors resembling a carved out cave. Luminescent stones illuminate the paths as you set on your way. You shortly encounter your first monsters, four green-skinned goblins holding primitive knives. They all turned to face you, letting out a squealing shriek as they charge towards you both. Goblins are the weakest creatures of the dungeon as you understand and the most common monster on floor 1. Misha grips her spear tightly stepping in front of you, her brows furrowed in deep determination. When the first goblin reaches her, she thrusts the tip of her spear into the monster's chest as it lunges. A deep sound resonates in your ears as it explodes into black shadows and fades out of existence, dropping a single, small, and iridescent stone.

@Polaris North

Amrec nodded "Don't want to keep the beasts waiting, eh?" His tone indicated it was a rhetorical question, and he began to walk to the entrance of the dungeon. Two adventurers, one appearing to be a spirit and the other a werewolf, seemed to race towards the dungeon in front of you "Ah, young kids are always in such a hurry." He commented fondly as soon the two of you were ready to delve into the first floor yourself "It's time to show me what you got, even though you're starting as a supporter I want to see you in action, got it?" His voice encouraging as you both went down to the first floor.

The soft sounds of Amrec's metal armor is the only thing that be heard as you starting walking down one of the many corridors in the dungeon. You are nearly the end when you see cracks forming in the wall ahead. From the cracks, a pack of seven kobolds drop onto the ground staring you down with their piercing red eyes as the wall behind them seals back up "Here we go, Kurvia!" Amrec yells out as he charges in front, a booming warcry resounding through the halls as he slams his right axe into the neck of one of the kobolds, severing its head instantly making it disintegrate into a a black smoke, dropping a magic stone in its place. Amrec kept his momentum, his left axe hitting with extra power from his spin as it sliced across another kobold's chest, felling it as well. One of the kobolds seems to sense the difference in power between you two and bypasses Amrec, going straight for you instead.

@Achronum

You can see nobody else as you journey through the twisting paths, making it so you have only yourself to rely on. It almost seems impossible that someone as powerful as Feron could have started just as you have, but as some point he must have. The only way to surpass him was to defeat the monsters on this floor and grow stronger. A loud roar echoes through the hall you are in when you see a brown-haired human breathing erratically and running your way. Soon it is clear what it chasing him, a pair of kobolds with blood-lust in their eyes. He already seems to have taken some damage, as the marks on his armor indicate "Sorry, they're yours now!" he simply says as he run past you, showing no regret in his voice.

He runs out of sight as the two kobolds close in on you, turning their attention to the fresh meat. One lets out a ear-piercing howl before it lunges towards you, slashing with one of its sharp claws. Your path to power begins now. If you can't defeat these monsters right now, reaching Feron will never happen.

I am thinking of setting up a discord for faster responses to questions and as easier way to share ideas. Thoughts?
