The group took on a strategy I was familiar with called kiting. As the zombie hoard moved forward, we kept backing up and taking a few at a ti. The zombies ere fortunately quite dumb, and the ambush set up yesterday was about as far as they could think. The cursed dungeon might have sothing akin to strategy and intelligence, but once the monster was created, it lost all control of what the monster did. At least, that’s how these guys explained it to .
Thus, we took out a couple zombies at a ti, using so people to take potshots with arrows and slings, while other held the back with shields and swords. We’d back up to get so distance, rinse and repeat. The strategy was working very well, and the zombies were going down quickly. Only when things got bad did I need to cast a group heal. So far, I’d managed to avoid taking any mana potions. Spirits were high.
Creeeeek.
A stone suddenly depressed an inch, and spikes ca out to the side. This wasn’t under my feet. In fact, I was standing back from where they ca, but the screeching tal certainly frightened . The guy in armor was struck on the side, but he managed to jump away without being impaled.
“This dungeon, seriously… now it’s spawning traps?” The rabbitkin shouted as he swung a stone into the group of zombies and knocked one in the head strong enough to live a dent.
“This is a young dungeon.” The Guild Master sighed. “If it had spawned farther away from town, it might have had ti to grow and settle. This one is acting out of desperation. It won’t be able to keep it up. I suspect it’s ability to resist us will diminish soon.”
“Suspect or wish?” the wolfkin up front said sarcastically.
“Can’t they be both?” The Guild Master shot back.
“Deek, let’s heal him quickly.” The big sister had helped the guy up as he limped over to .
“Ah… yes.” I nodded, walking over to the man on the ground.
I waved my hand and healed him.
“Again…” He said.
“Ah… okay…”
“Again…”
Yikes! Well, it wasn’t too surprising that an armored guy like this would be an HP sink. In the end, I needed to heal him six tis before he was happy. I ended up drinking a mana potion to recover. He stood back up, thanked , and then went to hold the front line. Those blades must have really hurt. I had the feeling that if they had struck , they would have been devastating.
Creeeek. Another trap was triggered.
As everyone dodge away, a door opened. Another horde of zombies ca out from behind us. This was seriously bad! I casted group heal imdiately. The spell rejuvenated the party, but it enraged the zombies.
“Watch out!” the big sister yelled.
I had so distance from the others, and for the mont all of the zombies nearby were focused on . I turned to run back to the party and safety. I wasn’t going to make so kind of last stand or anything. I wanted to live as much as the next guy. I ran towards the big sister, never feeling more glade that she was looking out for .
Creeeeek.
This trap was indeed one I had stepped on. Crunch! The ground out from under let out. My last sight of the party was the big sister’s surprised face. After that I was falling. I was certain I’d be falling on to so spikes, but I ended up in so kind of slide chute. When I ca out, I skidded across the floor about ten feet. Standing up and feeling a bit dizzy, I tried to get my location figured out.
There were definitely zombies down here. In fact, they had surrounded.
“Di-did you co to save ?” A voice ca from behind.
I looked back to see a familiar girl. It was the slave animalkin that had been with the party before. She had no backpack on, and there was dirt and nurous scraps on her body. As to the rest of her party, they were gone.
“Just run!” I declared, grabbing her hand and heading off in the opposite direction of the incoming zombies.
