Why Don't We Start Already?

The eerie silence of the Silent Serpent Ruin loomed around them as the group wrapped up their final bout with the creatures native to the ruins. The faint sound of dripping water echoed through the dimly lit corridors, casting an almost tranquil air over the remnants of battle. The ground was littered with the decayed remains of the serpent-like monsters that had been lying in wait, their scaly bodies now lifeless.

Emeric, panting and covered in dirt and blood, glanced over at Adrian, his irritation spiking as he watched him finish off his 7th serpentine monster in a matter of moments. His blade flashed, cutting through the creature with ease, and in just a few strikes, the beast collapsed, writhing before going still. He had killed nearly three times more monsters than anyone else in the group by now.
