Chapter 65: Dungeon Part 6: Fight Fight for your lives!

. Nineth Immortal says, “Fuck! Stand in the smoking bubbles.” She decides that it is worth the risk after all Tyr is alive maybe. The monsters approaching them are a tyrannical wave of death. Every monster she analyzes has jumped by to level eighteen. She wonders who is plotting against her.

Several bubbles pool together slowly growing into a smoke bubble. Rena says, “Why isn’t this working those monsters are getting closer.” The Four winged scaled insects are buzzing towards them. The flight speed is impressive and but the wings are razor sharp too. 

Nineth Immortal can only wait! Mashing her teeth. Looking at the monsters encroaching on them a smoke bubble explodes. Rena vanishes the Lizardman seeing this launch their hidden spells. After level sixteen they have access to low tier attack spells. Unlike players who have to grind new skills monsters gain them at certain levels depending on the monster and ranking. 

Lucinda vanishes next to her smoke prevents Nineth Immortal from seeing Amalya. She hopes that the young girl has also vanished. Nineth Immortal loses twenty-one health to the low tier spells that hit her. A corrosive acid burns her skin. Four more are coming all various low tier attack spells. Unable to stay in the place she fires off the crossbow and takes it to the sky.

The bubbling pit is wide and high enough for her to fly without fear of hitting a wall. Which she needs since the Dragonflies are closing in. They are fast but weak only having the health of one thousand at level eighteen. They use swarm tactics more than anything. She flies up around and down towards the Salamander. 

It has been blasting a fireball into the since it managed to get into the bubbling pit. On the way down Nineth Immortal sees a couple of monsters vanish after a smoke bubble.  Weaving past another wave of low tier three of the five dragonflies flying directly behind her are struck by the spells of the other monsters. Seeing a chance she flies towards what should be smoke about to appear she flies through it. 

The smoke bubble expels its smog after she has passed through. Taking the Dragonflies behind her away. Nineth Immortal says, “Shit take me! you stupid bubbling sand.” The ground pops several times as if it’s mocking her as it takes more monsters away. She dodges another Salamander blast. The oddly sticky fire hardens in front of her forcing her high jump over the solidifying fire. She stops wings spread out and fires blots all around her. Flying into the air too high to attack to be hit the Salamander. They still attack her.

The bubbling pit keeps filling with monsters. The more time she stays in the air the more she can’t see a way out. She dives this time flying towards a Salamander. The Salamander is unable to fire its spell straight up behind another swarm of Dragonflies. The buzzing grows large as all of them follow her down. She flies spiralling past a Lizardman too slow to do anything except take a bolt to the face as she flies past. 

A Salamander slashes with its claw at her. She continues with her spinning moment landing at its feet. Fire her remaining cartridge of bolts. There isn’t enough to reload, the skies are filled with death and Tyr…

“Tyr said I could I even swung it past the Boss Alexi so yeah…” says Medium Bunz while Alexi is an airhead he is a good person to bounce off some idea. His eccentric behaviour even inspired her to use flavoured spider silk on one of her cakes. This gave her a unique recipe and perspective. Since she gave him the raft design he has been able to make several vaierants. 

These rafts are not practical but Medium Bunz allows it. The result is edging closer to something useable plus with a little effort, Alexi can make a standard Catamaran Raft in an hour. They are arguing about the basic resource problem. They have confirmed that every NPC shop is selling at an increased price to Sunken Reef. It seems somehow the guild has pissed off someone with enough clout. It shouldn’t be a player but it makes less to be an NPC. 

Alexi says, “Da, fine girl do what you then.” Medium Bunz is already used to ice-cold Siberian accent. The rather handsome youth has a flair about him. His woollen curly hair was the thing darker than his brown skin. He is still working on his variant while trying to help this loud obnoxious woman. 

Medium Bunz, “Of course I’m going to do that I am asking do you think it’s going to work.” She grabs the carving tool in his hand so that he turns to face her. Her sinnamone scent is interlaced with the sweet pine of fresh wood. Her rosey plump cheeks hiding her serious expression. 

Alexi says, “How in hell should I Know, you are a leader do what feels right.” Alexi wishes he could help so can leave him to it. The problem is much large he thinks but since they have been unable to ascertain who attacking them, or why they are being targeted or even if there is a way to fix it. Her plan doesn’t seem wise in his eyes. She is making too many assumptions and not waiting for information. Still, he believes she can do it, she did somehow manage to him a new set of tools after teh old ones broke. Having to make a thousand different ships just too an amateur shipwright is ridiculous but it is the only way Alexi feels he can make a real contribution since it will unlock a ship tech tree for him to build form. 

Medium Bunz says, “You are suppose to be helpful sitting he building boats is not helping.” She lifts the carver as he tries to reach for the tool. Alexi tries once more amongst professional player levels are even more important even though she is only one level higher he can bully.

Alexi says, “Fine hand it over and try it at worst we will have to live on the island.” 

Medium Bunz says, ” Alright then but if it goes wrong it’s your fault.” Really she means she just wants another body next to her in case she fails and brings the might of a powerful NPC down on them. She speaks to herself giving herself some encouragement. The plan calls for her to act immediately and start some chaos. 

Chaos is only thing Styx sees in front of him. The blasted eastern side of the island is a jungle filled with blood suck flies and stinky fruits. The humidity makes him sweat in awkward places. The constant attack from maneating flowers called Panther lilies is grating. They always go for him first for some reason. So he has been saved now over twenty times by his term and in particular Frey. This in his eyes it ruins his manly image especially. When the monster first struck he screamed in an extremely high pitched voice. 

His only saving grace is the high number of players he has killed. They are being hunted by a guild called Struum Front. Their members don’t talk which is boring since he hasn’t been able to ascertain any information. Styx has already bemoaned their lack of roleplaying for a few hours now. The trek towards the centre of the jungle is his best guess as to. Where to find the monster encampment. OR any encampment really. So far unlike the North Side, they appear to be hidden here in the east. Also, they haven’t come across any real monster like the others.   

Frey says, “wondering around here isn’t getting results.” She rubs Styx’s back. 

Styx says, “Yeah I know Mi Amor. What do you suggest?” He is more hyped to face the players.

Frey says, “Since I know how you can be let’s find this guild finish them then we can explore the island properly.” Frey knows Styx has been fixating on them. It’s one of his major flaws. He is unwilling to ignore them. Once someone attacks he has to respond it why they have such huge fights. This petty Kernel in his soul is from his family and he still carries it around. 

Shadow says, “Then I and the Jefe should disappear if you know what I mean.” Shadow has always had an interest in the old Mexican cartels and having a fluent Spanish speaking boss has got him brushing up on his Spanglish.

Frey says, “Go!” Styx and Shadow Use their unique skills to vanish from sight. Both Styx and shadow have classes suited for shock damage. Frey herself is still flanked by two other members of their squad. Frey floating about through the jungle leads her team towards the centre. She has to confirm the lack of an encampment before they can actually go on the hunt

Frey can already see another hunting party from Stuurm Front…

[Author note mixing it up a bit otherwise you’ll get ten dragon fights in a row. PLus what is medium Bunz doing not voting for ROTSC on please we need your power stones.]
