Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Chapter 15: a day off

Along the way, the merry band of demons showed both their prowess and utter lack of vigilance against the monsters they were facing, since they were more focused on making their queen -Leader- laugh out loud, all manner of silly acts were going on, even when the boss battle began.

For example while the boss was trying its best to move master dwarf Balin while locking horns with him, literally, Balin was using his axes to lock down in place the horned bull-like creature, Fae was sitting on the orcs shoulders and they were doing a sort of synchronised dance, she was imitating his movements with her hands and her feet where swaying like a child sitting on their parents shoulders, Bai was riding the bull pretending to be in a rodeo and stabbing it to make it jump, Lucian was also sitting on the back of the boss gnawing at the tale he just cut off, complaining that it tasted more cat than bull, while slashing its posterior for tasting like the wrong species.

Meanwhile Leader was on her knees propping herself with a hand and beating at the ground with other all the while laughing in a way that is not befit of the holy angel she looked like. let's put a few measurements on the scene to get a perspective of how ridiculus it is, the bull like creature was about 5 meters high and around 8 meter long and 2 meters wide at the belly, pretty impressive, on the other hand, Bai and Lucian on the back both were about 1.85 meters while Balin was 1.2 meter long and Dustan around 2.3 meters while Fae and Leader were around 1.6 meters, now, let us again look back at the scene, a 5 meter high bull held by the horns in place by a 1.2 meter long dwarf, unable to move its front legs, its only way to shake away Bai who was facing the front and Lucian who was facing the back, is by jumping with its hind legs, one was eating its tail and stabbing it for tasting of the wrong species while the other was stabbing it because it was not jumping wildly enough, if that was not enough, there was a giant orc carrying a delicate elf that was dancing on his shoulder while the orc was carving steaks using blunt axes. poor boss just had to fall in the hands of the demons is what the supporters were thinking at the side.

The fun ended when master Balin wanted his turn to sit on Dustans shoulder like Fae, and carve out his own steaks, so he mistakenly twisted his axes while looking over and trying to get someone to replace him at the horns, the twist broke the bosses neck and it fell with a thud, the dwarf looked down dejected while the four who were enjoying themselves came over and each punched the top of his helmet, for ruining the fun too early, only Leader went there and comforted him by promising him he can sit on Dustan the next time they find a bull like creature, that drew a smile to his face and so they started on their way to the next nest. unfortunately they arrived late as another party seemed to have taken it down just moments earlier.

According to the supporting personnel, a competition to clear the most nestes started after news about Leader planning to clear the whole area for some reason, and that would have severely reduced the monetary gains of every other party taking the quest, thus they hustled to clear out as many as they could, once the other parties heard about the exploits of Leader and her party, 9 nests in 40 hours, and still having time to sleep 4 to 5 hours between each of the nests, one of the faint hearted mages fainted while another was dazed for a good while.

Since there was nothing left to do, the party went ahead and returned to the city, booked a whole inn with a hot spring in it and even paid for the relocation of other guests, they spent the afternoon soaking in and chatting about the fun they had while playing around this weekend, master dwarf Balin was floating on the water, looking like a mass of muscles sprawled about, he was pushed around from one to the other, Fae who was happy about her skin healing from the harsh weekend would pull the dwarf in circles by the beard, Dustan was snoring while Leader, bai and Lucian sat close together talking about how to deal with the moon feast tomorrow. the atmosphere was so relaxed and happy you might think these people were not just dealing death left and right just a few hours ago.

When Dustan woke up, the sun was setting and a red hue painted the western sky, he looked up to see Fae and Balin giggling to each other while Fae braided the majestic beard into something far from the dignity of dwarves, Leader was getting massaged by Bai while she brushed Lucians tail who seemed to enjoy it a great deal.

Soon after, everybody got out and went to have dinner, they splurged on all manners of dishes and drinks, eating nothing but broth and roast for a week did marvels to their appetites, after a good and fun evening they went to bed and really rested for the first time in this week.

Earlier in the academy, since Leol was a bit down, Yunan decided to forgo training and went to the entertainment center, and played around with the games there, some they played alone and some joined others who were willing, all in all they had fun before turning in for dinner then sleeping early to welcome the new week with new hopes and vigor.
