I sat at the rec room's ping-pong table, and Every other counselor was there too. Some of us were ordering a quest and the others were saying to deploy our resources here. I for one thought we should deploy our quest for the thing it said in the Observation sheet, the Golden Hide, or whatever.

Dionysus flashed in, we all stood up and looked at him expectantly. "Chiron has been voted to leave camp. A man named Tantalus shall take his place." An uproar followed, "How could they do this?" Was the main question on people's minds. Dionysus held up his hand, "The decision has been made." 

The room fell silent. There was little we could do against the council's choice. I scowled and left in anger. Feeling like I needed something to do and left off some steam I went into the 'Dark Forest'. With my Shield, Sword, Armor, and the Two Amulets. The amulet seemed to sense what I wanted to do and immediately the monsters began to spawn.

I stood there breathing heavily, coated in monster dust. My sword resting at my side as I waited for more. The council was full of idiots.

Bing!

The Fifth Wave Boss has Spawned!

The boar came charging at me but I was quickly able to destroy it. By flipping over it and landing on the beasts back I was able to stab it through the head.

Bing!

The Fifth Wave Boss has been defeated!

Would you like to continue or leave with the loot?

Stay/Leave

I pressed stay and I waited for more monsters to come charging through the trees. The next wave of beasts were 3 Laistygonian Giants, 2 Empousas, and 6 Hellhounds. They weren't a huge challenge, the Giants main attacks consisted of fire, which helped me more than them. The Empousas were mainly the ranged attackers using crossbows to shoot me.

The only real threat was from that of the Hellhounds. They all attacked at once and were quick enough to evade my arrows. But with a little luck, I was able to turn all into dust. 

Bing!

The Sixth Wave of Monsters has been defeated!

Would you like to continue or leave with the loot?

Stay/Leave

I decided to leave and was transported back into the cabin, still quite upset about the council's decision. The loot screen popped up.
