[TRIVIA AT THE END]

5 minutes later, they arrived at a T junction by the bottom path, with a sign in front of then.

<------- Exit(White Room)

Bonus --------->

"Well, that's straightforward, and I am sure the bonus will not be as simple as walk in and out. What do you guys wanna do?" Asked Fox.

"ADVENTURE!!" Shouted Mark.

"Let's at least have a look at what is the challenge, if we can." Answered Johnny.

Having decided what to do, they progressed along the right path. Using the same formation as before. They didn't walk far, the corridor lead to an open room, the passage into the room was open, but they could see a translucent barrier before the room. The room had 6 pillars 3 in each side, and at the end there was stairs leading to 3 platforms in the middle, each with a locked chest, and a platform at the top, 3 meters high, and on top of it, a throne with a giant humanoid, wearing a cloth in his head, and an overcoat. At his side a giant war hammer, one side hammer, the other an axe.

"I think i saw this guy before, somewhere... S**t, isn't he the Axeman from R.E. movies?" Asked Johnny.

"Yeah, it appears to be. What do you guys wanna do? Take he in?" Agreed Fox.

"Are you crazy? Do you want to die?" ----- Johnny

"I have 5 undead and a lot of fire power, and that includes this..." Said Fox as he took the out the"ARGES HG".

Both Johnny and Mark were surprised by what they saw. "Is that a grenade?" Asked them surprised.

"You should always be prepared for anything! Although I didn't through I would need it." Said Fox

Both just kept staring at him.

"So have you guys decided?" Asked him to change the subject.

"I am going of course! How can I, a knight, let this challenge pass?" Said Mark confidently.

"I won't be left behind. Let's go" Agreed Johnny.

Fox made his undeads cross the barriers first, to check what would happen. As he saw the undead fine on the other side, he also crossed the barrier. But when he looked back, there was no passage just a stone wall. Before he could do anything, he saw Mark's hand passing through the wall. Just like him Mark arrived in the room. And finally Johnny. Trying to go back, the wall was solid. They were surprised that they couldn't see the door anymore, but they were already mentally prepared for a no exit challenge.

While they were distracted with the door, they heard a "Thud!"… When they turned, they saw that the Axeman was standing and going for his weapon.

"S**t!" They thought.

"No time to think, Mark try to evade his attack, don't tank him, Johnny aim for his head." Fox commanded while controlling the zombie to stay, while making the others attack.

The Axeman started to descend the stairs, "Thud!"... "Thud!"... "Thud!"...

While the rest confronted him through the middle, Fox and the zombie used the pillars to get to the sides of the Axeman.

With 2 skeleton archers and Johnny releasing arrows, the Axeman already had many of then stuck to his body, but this didn't hinder him at all. The orcs formed a shield wall with Mark right behind them. The Axeman charged at them swinging laterally, from left to right, with his hammer. The hammer hit the shield of the orc to his left, sending him crashing in the right orc's direction. Both of them fell, on their backs, to the ground with shields in front. Axeman started to raise his hammer getting ready to descent the axe part on the orcs. Mark took this opportunity to strike his stomach, he swung laterally, cutting a big chunk of the Axeman. They were able to see that his insides were completely black. This attack made him lose balance, but he wasn't defeated.

It was them that they heard.

"Mark get back.", When Mark turned he saw the zombie running in Axeman direction holding a round object in each hand.

When he noticed what they were, he started to run away with everything he had.

3

Taking advantage of the Axeman disbalance, The zombie hugged him from behind.

"Get down!" Warned Fox.

"BOBOOM!!" The Grenades exploded, sending shards all around.

Fox who was far away, behind a pillar, was the fastest to look back.

With the explosion only the zombie legs were left intact, and Axeman had actually been served in the middle.

A message appears [Achievement unlocked: Special Bonus Boss 1 Killed 200 points]

"I almost s**t in my pants, when that thing knocked the orcs down. But I ended up doing it, WHEN SOMEONE DECIDED TO BRING GRENADES TO MY FACE!!" Shouted Mark.

"Sorry, it was the only way to take him down without real casualties. But man, those grenades are insane, the zombie almost disappeared." Contemplated Fox.

"IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME!!" Continued Mark.

"Oh, come on, I gave you enough time to run, stop with the crybaby thing. Come we need to have a look at the chests."Said Fox.

"Are you guys feeling it too?" Asked Johnny.

"Yeah, I think the chest to the right is mine right? Asked Fox.

"Mine should be the one in the middle." Said Mark

"And mine the one to the left." Said Johnny

All three walked to their respective chests, they could feel like the chest was calling for then.

The chests were big, like those in zelda, and all of them had a lock. However when the arrived next to chests, they unlocked.

Removing the lock and opening the chest, a light came from within the chest binding Fox. However in the next second information appeared in his mind.

Before the T junction, in the original campaign, because my players kept asking me "where are the traps", and I ended up placing a needle trap there. It was actually a simple trap, In the wall to the right, there were small holes covering 3 meters of the wall, from top to bottom, And from those holes, small needles would come out every time something crossed its path.

The solution was simple, 1 of the players could use a "wind barrier" to stop the needles, or they could get the tower shield from the battle before and use it.

But man, game mastering is always unpredictable. After waiting for like 1 hour, in what should have been a 5m trap, they thought it was the wrong path, and decide to search for another way. Having found nothing, they finally thought of using the shields, they carried and placed them next to the trap, "finally" I thought, but in the end they were afraid to cross.

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

It got to the point where I had to, literally, make a unit(10-15) of undead appear coming from the door, to force them to use the shield. When they crossed the trap, they were like, "that was it? No test or anything?".

I laughed so hard that day at how could a simple trap take so long. In the end it was just a thing I placed there in the heat of the moment, but I decided to remove it later.
