Mines expedition 2

From his balcony Deimos watched the players head east

"Where are they going? They haven't finished the pit yet ... "

[To the mines boy]

"But why? If I specified them in the patch notes not to go to the mines, they would only die if they go as they are now. "

[Exploring and taking challenges is a nature of the players, a simple warning will not stop them, on the contrary, it will motivate them more to try]

"...Anyway, what do they hope to achieve by being so few?"

[Apparently, they will soon join them more when they recover from what your servant did to them]

"That if they manage to survive for so long... I know, when that group you say connects I will have Yun guide them, even if the first group is dead that should allow them to train a little and bond together so that they continue to go to her training sessions"

[That could work… and what will you do?]

"I'll watch the players from here, I guess it will be a good time to see how well they perform in group battles..."

…

After almost an hour of walking, the group of players reached the outskirts of the mines.

"Good job, now as we agreed, Arthur will lead group 1 and watch the surroundings, meanwhile group 2 and 3 let's secure the entrance, Karthas your turn"

"Listening to his battle mates and feeling a great weight that his lives represented, Karthas knew that in the next few hours his decisions will be vital, therefore-"

"And please keep your RP monologues to yourself"

Hearing that, Karthas was silent for a few seconds as if he was thinking and after that, he began to give instructions to the group.

{Do you remember why we decided that he would be the leader?}

{Although he may not seem like it, Karthas is famous for being a great strategist, the only bad side of him is that he loves RP, so he always bases his plans on that ...}

{Well, he's not the only one in the group who loves that ...}

Forming two rows, the group advanced, and using the sunset light they entered the mine, advancing through the first passage they arrived at a T-intersection which formed a large room where darkness swallowed the ends of it.

Without being able to see anything, Gron looked at the rest of the group "Now what?"

Seeing that it would be useless to wait any longer, Karthas instructed Jhon and Fasterone to light one of the torches they had brought and verify each side of the tunnel.

Following his instructions, Jhon lit the torch and advanced to the north side of the room without finding anything, but FasterOne was not so lucky.

Having trouble lighting the torch, FasterOne took a couple of steps into the darkness and when he finally managed to light the torch at the south exit of the room, he heard a slight sound to his right.

From the shadows which were dissipated by the torchlight, two goblins jumped on FasterOne, knocking him to the ground.

Seeing this, the group reacted quickly, Splitbullet being the first one who, releasing an arrow with his bow, was able to hit the back of the head of one of the goblins, killing him immediately.

Quickly approaching FasterOne, Moneybag took advantage of the fact that the second goblin was still distracted to try to stab him with her spear, which upon seeing his companion die so quickly released FasterOne and rolled to avoid the blow.

After getting up, the goblin prepared to attack but was received by a sword which was thrown by GoblinSlaye, seriously wounding him and leaving him on the ground.

"Are you okay, Faster?" AWellInformedGoblin asked while approaching him to check his wound while Karthas indicated three of the group members to cover the north tunnel while Slayer approached the goblin who was still breathing and after taking the sword from him ended his suffering.

"{Buff, buff} Yes, thank you, that thing bit my shoulder ... Do you think it's infected?"

Seeing that he was not seriously injured the group relaxed a bit, and watching the tunnel entrances they began to discuss.

"Where did they come from?"

"Most likely they were here all this time"

Strawberry said as she pointed to a small hole in the wall

"It's strange, they usually are not that close to the entrance"

"That shows that there are many more than before, Slayer take John, Moneybag, and Flower with you and map a radius of 300 meters from this location, Gron, take that ax of yours and together with group one bring wood, the rest of us will look for stones to reinforce this room "

...

While the rest of the group was reinforcing the mine entrance, Slayer advanced through the tunnels in the southern part of the mine while John drew a map.

"As you know this place is narrow so we can only advance in line so we don't hit each other, Moneybag you will be behind me giving me support with your spear, Flower, you will take care of the rear, John you in the middle, try to keep the torch in case mine Turn off"

Following Slayer's instructions, the group advanced through the tunnels for over an hour without finding anything.

Seeing that there was no danger, Moneybag approached John and seeing the map that Jhon had drawn, asked him what was his opinion of that place

"This place is a wreck" John answered, who continued counting his steps and drawing a small line every 10 steps.

"Why you said so?" Said Moneybag as she looked at the labyrinth that had started to form on the parchment in John's hands "Not all dungeons should be this labyrinthine?"

Lifting his gaze from the paper, Jhon explained to Moneybag that that would be in any other game. "Remember this is supposed to be a functional mine, even if these tunnels were for prospecting work it is completely inefficient"

"The good thing that with your map we will not get lost"

"Slayer, we are getting too far away, we would have to go back soon" After that Jhon continued with his explanation of the tunnels arriving at an intersection where they decided to return until Slayer stopped them telling them to be silent, after that he approached one of the walls of the intersection and placing his hand on it he felt a slight tremor

Seeing Slayer's actions, the confused group approached and upon feeling the tremors they asked him what it was

Without answering, Slayer looked at the bottom of the tunnel for a few seconds, and after directing his gaze to the group in whispers only one-word "Goblins"

{ruahhh!]

"Run!"

Following Slayer's instructions with Jhon leading the way, the group began to make their way towards the entrance of the mine feeling the tremors grow in intensity and the shrieks of the goblins in the surroundings.

With the map that they had prepared the group quickly covered half the way but feeling a stronger tremor than the previous ones, they saw how the ground at the end of the tunnel they were crossing collapsed, and from there they saw a group of six goblins coming out.

"Damn, we can't waste time here fighting, Jhon lead us another way"

Hearing his name, Jhon nodded and after a few seconds looking at the map he turned around and started running "This way"

Watching players escape, the group of goblins starts laughing without chasing them.

Following Jhon, the group began to circle his way through the tunnels but each time they approached the exit, a new group of goblins would come out of the ground.

"Damn, {huff, huff} It's the sixth time" Moneybag yelled while trying to catch her breath and directed her gaze to Jhon who without taking his eyes off the map was looking for another route while muttering "What do they want? Why don't they attack us? "

"I don't know but it's better for us… Jhon? Now to where? "

Without hearing a response from Jhon the group look in his direction only to see Jhon trembling slightly and lowering the map as he spoke "There is none"

"What?" Confused by the answer, the group asked him what he was referring to while in the background they heard the goblins laughing.

"I mean there are no more roads, all the others lead us into the mine ... they caught us"

Hearing John's words, the group saw a large green mass of goblins turn the corner of the tunnel from which they had come and understood that the goblins had been playing with them.

Knowing that they were in a serious situation Slayer breathed to calm down and looking at Jhon spoke "Jhon, if we manage to pass over that hole, how long does it take to get to the exit?"

"Through this tunnel, we will only have to advance about eighty meters and an intersection that connects with the exit ..."

Listening to his response, Slayer looked at the mass of goblins at the end of the tunnel and muttered "So 25 seconds ... There are only four goblins in front, so you should be able to finish them off and reach the exit"

"If we do that, the goblins that come after us will catch up with us."

Hearing Firstflower speak Slayer looked at her and laughing as he approached one of the supports in the tunnel spoke "Through these tunnels, only three or four goblins can pass at the same time and luckily those idiots destabilized the tunnels"

Touching the wood that supported the tunnel, Slayer looked at the group "Just one good hit and this will all collapse in less than a minute."

Understanding what Slayer wanted to do, Firstflower looked at him "If you do that you will die too, do you want to become a hero like last time?"

"No, I just want to kill some goblins ... now go" With those words Slayer broke the support and charged against the mass of goblins laughing "Bastards my name is Goblinslayer, remember it since it is the name of the one who will send you all to hell!"

"Damn it, Flower, Jhon let's go!" Taking advantage of the opportunity, Moneybag ran towards the four goblins blocking their way which were confused by Slayer's action, and using her spear managed to impale two of the goblins while Jhon pushed one through the hole from which they had come out.

Seeing his companions fall quickly the goblin fell backward and before he could react he was stabbed in the chest by Firstflower, without enemies stopping them, the three jumped the hole

Seeing how they were able to kill the goblins quickly Jhon cursed as he looked in the direction of Slayer who was starting to get surrounded by goblins "Damn, if only we had done that with the first group, Slayer!"

"Jhon we have to go, this is going to collapse"

Knowing that there was nothing he could do, Jhon clenched his fists and gave him one last look, he turned around and started running alongside the other two with Slayer's screams behind him and the stones falling from the ceiling.

"Come on bastards, do you like it? Do you want more? DO YOU WANT MORE!? COME ON! {BROOM} "

Falling to the ground from the tremors and being covered in dust, the group of three looked at the now collapsed tunnel and with a sigh, they got up and started walking to the exit.

"Do you think the developers blame us for that?"

"I don't think so, after all, it was the goblins' fault"

"I hope s-" {FFFT} Being interrupted by an arrow coming from the exit room, Jhon fell backward and looking in the direction from where the arrow was thrown he screamed "What the hell! It's us!"

Hearing the screams of Jhon, from the exit of the tunnel which was reinforced with rubble, AWellInformedGoblin's head came out, and surprised he spoke "Are you guys, how the hell are you still alive ... Forget that, come quickly we need you to use your essence before the goblins come back "

Following AWellInformedGoblin's instructions, the group climbed the rubble blocking the entrance only to be greeted by the sight of several injured players and a collapsed exit.
