Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Chapter 49: New training dummies

Monday morning, the guild has just issued invitations to the upcoming auction for the most powerful and the richest people in the continent causing a greater uproar confirming the existence of the treasure chest. As for it's authentication, the list of the invited was good enough to convince anyone that even if they showcased a pile of shit and called it magical shit it was worth buying it.

As for Debauchery, they were so annoyed by the amount of interruptions and spies that swarmed them. In a fit of anger they caught all the spies and used one of them as a door man to stop all messengers at the door, as for the rest, they were turned to training dummies for Yunan, Reina and Leol to practice upon. Those spies who knew about the fate of the ones who were caught before them were happy to survive unscathed in the morning, but the horror they faced in the afternoon was more than enough to get them out of the spying business for ever.

Thanks to the amount of people who were trying to personally meet Debauchery and those who came with letters to be handed to Leader only, Debauchery sent one of the captives to buy lunch for them as they stayed inside hall 5 to train with the kids. Taking into consideration that threats were more abundant in a bigger crowd. The poor guy got a few gold coins and a stare from Dustan, he lost all thought of escape, he bought food enough for 50 people and ended up watching as Debauchery ate it all and still called for more, the rest of the captives could only salivate at the amount of food eaten but none dared speak. The food shuttle made more than 6 trips between lunch and dinner.

Fed up with being trapped inside Balin dragged Dustan with him outside the hall and climbed up to the shoulders, then he yelled at the mob blocking the way "everyone who has a message split into two lines, those with written messages can give them to my cute little orc here, those who have vocal messages can just tell me, if you think your orders have a priority over the orders of my leader you can leave right now."

After Balin skillfully climbed down from Dustan's shoulders both stood on either side of the door and waited, no one moved after 5 minutes so they got back inside and the dwarf said to Leader " I think they need a session with the kids, how about we pull an all nighter, my fingers are itching" there was an evil intent in his voice that made the captives shudder and feel pity for those who were outside.

Bai went for a more sinister way of thinking "Leader, go outside and tell them those who refused the orders passed down by Balin can consider their offers refused and their letters returned unopened, if anyone voiced displeasure let them come inside, lock the door and they can be used for training purposes tomorrow morning"

"Who would stand guard Incase they try to break out by destroying the walls?" Asked Fae who then immediately regretted it. "That would be you my dear" said Bai with a smile. "If we leave Dustan they might get so scared there is a possibility they would gang up on him and end up dead, if we leave Balin they will certainly gang up on him and end up dead. Lucian is already on guard duty, Leader can not guard them because they want to meet with her, and i have to massage leader after the hot bath, so that leaves only you for the job, so please don't kill all of them, we need dummies to train the kids".

With a nod from Leader, the plan was put into action and about a hundred people were locked inside hall number 5 to listen to the tales of the surviving spies. Even the man Manning the door did not budge all night, he cleared his throat when Debauchery was leaving the hall and handed a list of those who came and left and whatever they left behind, although he was dreaming the might release him for being diligent, his dreams were shattered when he was told he did such a good work they might keep him as door guardian if things kept going like this.

Although the kids did not enjoy torture or inflicting pain, it was rare to find such a variety of opponents to train all their skills with. They were looking forward to a whole week of such a good battle drill if they were lucky. Unfortunately they could only enjoy one more day of such extravagant way of training.

Come Tuesday morning, inside hall number 5 the captives were behaving like well trained pets after Fae was done with them. When Debauchery and students arrived they did as ordered by Fae who split them into groups and one by one they would spend 10 minutes sparing with the students before delivering whatever form of messages they had brought to leader, and then leave the hall as if fleeing from death.

By the end of the day, everyone felt hall number 5 was a bit too big and empty after having such a blast toying around with those idiots who never learn. However before they could leave director Joey came by for a explanation about a few hundred bad treatment complaints the guild received from guests who came by to deliver messages. The poor man was shocked to hear how his guests were used to help improve students just because they followed their own orders instead of following the orders they were given by Debauchery. Director Joey wanted to scream "preposterous" at the happy go lucky bunch but thought better of it, if one of them could imprison hundreds, he could die to mere flicked buggies if they targeted him.

He also expressed the guilds interest in keeping the chest and pay instead with items or books from Tartarus since the guild had to have a reserve of such books inside the dungeon. As the owner of the chest Yunan accepted the deal with skill books and magic books of the same value, also the guild could not decide which books he would get, but send a full list of all the books they have and he would choose based on his needs.

Director Joey returned with the offer Yunan proposed with conflicted feelings. He was happy about the rewards coming his way for securing the chest and angry for his guests mistreatment.

To clarify, Yunan got ownership of the chest because Reina and Leol used their share to repay Yunan for allowing them to get benefits from the starheart, as for Debauchery, they were out of the picture because they did not help in defeating the goblin leader and thus did not feel like deserving of a share.
