When the next day came and everyone was awake, they set off, they didn’t have anything to gather as everything they did have was stored in their inventories so there was no delay in leaving. Tegan had informed them the night before that they would be walking non stop for a full day at least but closer to two as before they had found the group ...

That could have gone worse, Shaun decided once they had all finished telling their story of what had occurred, Gabe and Eric both stuck with what they agreed with, not once bringing up what they had seen at the end of his fight. Although the worst of what had actually occurred was left out of their retelling, the change in the way ...

“Shaun, what have you done?”, Shaun turned around to look at who had just spoken, standing behind him was Gabe, who was the one that just spoke, was standing there beside him was Eric, both of them with looks of shock on their face, even a bit of fear.
“It's not what you think, I know this looks bad…..” Shaun started.
“Th...

The three people in front of him had no idea how to react to such a casual introduction, Shaun had considered how he would approach the situation in the moments before stepping into view. He immediately ruled out attacking as he didn’t know what intention they had and starting out with violence would not be the best first impression. He had al...

Making their way back to the cavern took a few hours and nothing happened during the journey back, this time though rather than walking the entire way they would also swap between running, jogging and walking. As they reached each of the splits in the tunnels that they would go down Eric would mark the cave wall with his sword so they could keep...

As they walked through the tunnel Shaun figured they needed a plan for when they encountered the next group of monsters. After a quick discussion it was decided that they would continue on with the same routine as they had with the group, Shaun would be the scout and the other two would stay a little behind and guard their back.
It d...

As everyone started to gather around, Shaun decided to check through his notifications, wanting to see the gains he had through the battle.
*You have defeated a (Cave Salamander – Lvl 1). Experience gained. 5 TE awarded*
*You have defeated a (Cave Salamander – Lvl 2). Bonus experience for kil...

As they moved down the tunnel as a group, it was decided to let the other rogue take the lead this time to help him build up his skills, Shaun was fine with this as he had already made it a decent way down the tunnel earlier and he knew that he wouldn’t be able to raise his skill further just by scouting ahead. Instead he spent the time thinki...

After collecting both of his daggers Shaun stumbled to the wall and dropped down to the ground, exhausted from the battle he just needed a bit of time to recover. Even though the battle only took a few minutes he had never felt more tired than he had in that moment, his body ached, his arm was throbbing with pain but even with all of that he was...

Shaun hadn’t been far down the tunnel during his time keeping guard of the cavern so he didn’t know if he was going to find anything in the limited time he had to explore. They had walked endless for hours with little changing the day before so he didn’t have a high expectation of finding anything different with only an hour to not o...

“It’s your turn to do the watch,” Jerking awake Shaun looked up at Richard who had just nudged him to wake up “it was all quiet, didn’t see or hear anything out there, the first watch said the same. I’m going back to sleep, make sure to wake everyone in a few hours.”
Gabriel and Eric were also in the process of getting ...

Proceeding through the tunnel, they had decided to change the way they structured the group, rather than all of the warriors at the front they had split the group so that Michael, Trevor, Shaun and the mage that worked with Trevor, his name being Ian, Shaun learnt, were at the front, the rest of the group mixed into the middle and a warrior was ...

Everyone stood in shock, looking on at the scene that was unfolding before them, the last thing anyone expected after their first battle was to have to deal with an argument over who had managed to kill the monster. They should have been focusing on the people that were hurt, or the mage that has lying dead on the ground underneath the spiderlin...

Just as he was about to break his stealth and shout at the team, the spiderling, with another loud hiss, dropped from the ceiling into the middle of the group. As the group had been moving through the tunnels, they had been staying close together as they had all assumed that if a monster was going to attack them they would be able to see it come...

The tunnel that the group had chosen to go down was similar to the chamber that they had originally found themselves in, it was dark with blue streaks running through the walls offering just enough light for the group to see in. At the back of the group Shaun could barely make out Michael and Trevor who were leading from the front who were about...

After what felt like being ripped through space, Shaun opened his eyes to see where he had ended up and if he was in immediate danger. Around him were rock walls on every side, he was in what looked to be a small chamber which was illuminated by streaks of glowing blue veins running through the walls. Although he could barely see through the dar...

Darkness was all that surrounded Shaun. Looking around he tried to make out any shapes in the shadows to gather some idea of what was happening to him and what he was meant to do. What is happening? Shaun thought to himself. What was that blue writing and what am I supposed to do now? Shaun tried to speak to call for help ...

Fridays were generally a good day for Shaun, the same for everyone else that worked a 9 to 5 job, they indicated the end of the work week and the start of 2 days away from the city, not to mention the people in it. Shaun made a habit of leaving the moment his day was done every Friday and heading straight to his car, which had already been packe...
