"I think this is it," Marrovar says as they all stand in front of a large wooden door with two torches on either side.
After three hours in the dungeon everyone is tired and sweaty, covered in scapes and bruises and even a few stab woods that had to be hastily wrapped with bandages.
"We're almost there!" Marrovar cheers.
Artemis looks over to Maelstrom, "I think this psycho is actually enjoying this."
Marrovar kicks the door down and the four of them walk into a large lair, where in the center is a carrion crawler. A large, disgusting worm creature. He oozes mucus and slime and has various tentacles underneath its gaping maw. It sees the party and screeches, running full speed.
Marrovar lets out a battle cry and runs at the beast with his sword, stabbing it deep in the gut, getting his armor stained with thick red blood.
"Wait for us!" Maelstrom says. Gripping his amulet in one hand he says a prayer, "May chaos guide you to your target." His eyes glow gold and a beam of gold light shoots across the cave, dodging rocks and looping around Marrovar and hits the creature square in the face, it screeches as smoke comes off its cheek. It screeches again and wraps its tentacles around Marrovar
"Fiesty little beastie!" MArrovar says, fighting against the tentacles.
"Perrywinkle!" Artemis says, and the little robotic companion chirps. It runs over to the beast and shoots a dart at it.
Suri just stares at Artemis.
"What thats the best he can do!" She says, pulling out her gun and aiming at the monster.
"Wait!" Suri says, "You might shoot Marrovar."
"I'll try not to," She says, aiming and firing into the creatures side. It screeches in surprise and lets go of Marrovar.
Suri reaches into her bag and pulls out a small rusting lantern . it creaks as it swings in the air. Suri whispers into the lantern and the flame lights and blue light emanates and multiple beams of blue light shoot at the wretched worm.
"I think it's almost dead!" Marrovar calls and he swings down his ax, cutting off a few of the creatures tentacles.
Artemis runs in closer and keeps firing her gun. She has magic she could use, but in situations like this, Artemis has found firearms are more efficient when it comes to ending a life.
The creature retreats further into the cave, trying to get away.
"Oh no you don't!" Marrovar yells. He jumps on his broom, standing up as it flies toward the creator, holding his great ax. In one quick motion he cuts off the creatures head.
Marrovar lowers to the ground walking toward the body. He's covered in blood but he feels fantastic.
"How should we divvy up loot?" Maelstrom asks as Marrovar rejoins the group. They look around at the various chests. Throughout the dungeon they've accumulated various treasures like a music box, and alcohol, and even a sword with a real human hand for it's handle.
"Let's just start opening shit," Artemis says, walking over to a large wooden chest, she cracks it open and laughs, "Snails man, so many snails!" She takes a handful of coins and throws them in the air, laughing. "I'm rich!"
Maelstrom rolls his eyes, though he finds it amusing. He too is excited when he opens his chest to see it filled with gold coins.
"Check this out," Suri says, holding up a long sword with a pale red blade and a magical floating red orb in the center of the handle. "What do you guys think it is?"
"Maybe it's-"
"Congrats kids!" Magic Sam's voice echos through the lair. On the far side a stone archway appears and through the doorway the guild hall can be seen.
The four adventurers make their way back into the guild hall where the guild members applaud and cheer.
"You guys did great!" Petra Cheers
"Very good," Raine says.
Magic Sam draws everyone's attention, "Hold out your hands, all of you."
Artemis, Marrovar, Maelstrom, and Suri hold out their hands, and the guilds symbol appears on their hands, glowing with light, before it disappears. "You're now official guild members!"
A wave of satisfaction surges through the four of them
"And since your guild members how about your first mission?" Magic Sam waves his hand and wooden box appears in his hand, its sealed with a lock. "I need you all to deliver this to the king of Arion, no questions asked, and you must treat the package with extreme care. Since you all worked so well as a team in the dungeon let's keep that momentum going."
"How much does it pay?" Maelstrom asks
"Thirty thousand gold, but the package must arrive safely, think y'all are up to the task?"
Artemis looks to Maelstrom, Maelstrom looks to Suri, Suri looks to Marrovar.
They all nod.
"We're in," they all say in union
That's it folks that's a wrap on session one! Stay tuned for session two update :)
