48 The Dungeons Gift

"So are you a monster? Or some kinda golem? Maybe a shape changer, my da said they can be tricky." Asks Elrick wearily as he keeps the still sleeping form of Chunk behind him while Jenny begins trying to buff him.

"Umm....I'm grinthian? That's a supppppeeer big city in the west! We eat lots of fish there and my family is merchants! They used to sell foods and magic bag thingies and books! Where do you guys come from? Your the first kids I've seen anywhere since I got broughted to the dungoon!" Says Sarah happily as she tries to rush toward the trio in excitment.

"Back! Get back!" Shouts Elrick as he weakly slashes toward Sarah with one of his knives while he keeps the other close to his chest defensively.

"Oh...your meanies then. Well I know what to do with meanies, you beat them up til all the mean is out of them and then they can be friends! Uster!" Shouts Sarah happily as a sigil appears in front of her and the form of Flippy appears.

"I understand your thoughts young master, I shall teach these two some manners." Hisses Flippy as it steps towards Elrick and gurgles out a laugh at the blade that shatters on its scaly chest. Elrick flinches at the sound of snapping metal as he looks back and forth between his broken blade and Flippy, fear rushing through his body before a small fist lands on his chest sending the dwarf flying backwards into a tree. With a loud creak the tree begins tilting backwards as the Uster walks forward calmly towards Jenny, the small girl falling to her knee's as tears of fear fall from her face and the scent of urine fills the general area.

"Flippy stop! She's super scared right now! You go and stand behind miss Tyr all scary and intimidating in case that shadow lady tries to be a meanie okay? Imma help these people, they fought Spooky so they musta been through a lot." Says Sarah in a chiding voice as she puts her backpack on the ground in front of her and pulls out a clean pair of underwear as well as a bright blue dress and a bottle.

"Hey! Hey shhh it's kay. Flippy's super strong but he's a good fish monster thing. I'm sorry he hit your friend and made you pee yourself, he can be scary but I promise he won't hurt you guys. Here these are brand new stuffs that the dungeon gave me, they're magic so if you put them on they'll always fit whoever wears em. The bottle is this stuff my brofer used to make called Spring Clean. Its water that you pour on your head and it goes all over your body to get rid of all the icky stuff, it tickles kinda! Now go on, go over to that bush and get changed while I go fix and heal the meanie!" Sarah says gently as Jenny just looks at her in confusion before nodding and stumbling towards the bushes. Standing up from her squat, Sarah starts making her way over to Elrick's prone form while holding a deep red bottle in her hands, a happy smile on her face as she whistles a tune while the screaming from the shadow lady gets louder.

"Are you fucking kidding me Tyr!!! It's bad enough you still have Iron in here but now your new "master" killed one of our most promising trainee's and on top of that expects us to bring some mysterious dungeon kid with us back to camp?!? Are you fucking insane or just stupid!!" Screeches Anissa as her arms wave wildly in various directions, the previous respect for the dungeon gone from her voice and replaced with outrage and fury.

"Hey don't look at me ya damn skulker. You knew they were attempting the boss and you also know that whenever a boss battle is started in a dungeon a barrier blocks the exit until the boss is slain or the party. The dungeons strong enough now to enforce that rule so its your fault for not entering with them. Plus from the sound of things this little bitch was gonna start a witch hunt for the lycan which could've resulted in the loss of several instead of one. Plus the kid your referring to is not a dungeon creature or pacted, she's a kid we found barely surviving in the ruins cus a boss creature attacked her family. The dungeon saved her and even blessed her so why don't you find the stick up your ass and remove it before I happily do so for ya." Tyr says with a dangerous lilt to her voice, the promise of joyous violence lacing the last sentence as a green glow comes from on of her hands.

"Fine I'll admit I made a judgement error but we still need her body, the family will need to perform rites, a ceremony, all that crap that we both know they do. And if the trainee's decide they want her then I suppose I'll take her but what kind of blessing are we talking about. Do we have a better chance of gear kind of thing or a hey the mobs are my bestest friends deal?" Anissa asks with a tad more caution in her voice as she eyes Tyr's glowing hand, her own blades glowing with a crimson smoke as she takes a step back from the blood bather.

"Not those flimsy as shit ones Anissa, the dungeon gained a representation skill meaning he can choose a champion. Better party experience, mobs won't attack until they are, better loot drops, and actual dungeon quests that can give her party or faction rewards to help both the dungeon and town she's part of. You take care of this squirt like she's made of mithril and can revive the dead cus if your good to her then she could turn our bandit group into an actual place adventurers will work with instead of cut down for the experience and loot." Tyr says with a cocky smirk on her face as she raises an eyebrow towards the stunned assassin.

"The kids the dungeons champion.....your right she's much more valuable than this girl and her petty attitude problem. But we'd have to keep her in a solid party which means we still need another body for a full group and explain what she can do. Let me speak with the children and we'll see what they say, it already looks like Jenny's on board and Elrick is probably scared into it as well considering she used him as an axe against that tree, but we also have to deal with Chunsly's curse before leaving.

"Ah no worries there! She's going regardless or I have permission to be a scary random encounter and wipe your squad, plus lets be honest Annie you might be quick on your feet but I was always the better warrior. The kids chest piece lets him control his change so your good. See ya later bitch and remember to take care of our girl....or else" Tyr says with a viscous grin before she disappears into the tree line, the sight of Sarah laughing and approaching Anissa the last thing she sees before returning to the core room.
