-0-0-0-0-0- The Dungeon, Medea Island The Next Day -0-0-0-0-0- The day began as normal; utterly confused Silver and Gold parties stumbling through my maze. With the reduction in difficulty on the first floor, a party of silvers could make it through mostly unscathed, further crowding the second floor. And it was indeed getting crowded; by focusing more on the 'maze' part of the floor and lessening the threat posed by the fish the guilders spent much longer stumbling around. Even with parties entering…-

-0-0-0-0-0- The Drunken Delver, Phenoc Colony, Medea Island Four Days Later -0-0-0-0-0- Haythem Linus growled in anger and slammed his flagon of beer on the table. They had delved the dungeon for the third time today, and been forced to teleport out of the fight with the guardian for the second time. Frustrated, they had retreated to one of the three taverns in the little village to let out a little steam. "Our party is too small," he finally spoke. Bertram and Flasa looked up from their own drinks at…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Dungeon, Medea Island Two Days Later -0-0-0-0-0- As the final party of the day teleported out of the dungeon, it was with no small amount of relief on my part. These guilders are relentless. Again and again they delve my first and second floors, despite losing an average of three of their number a day. Mostly Silver, but one Gold was lost to the fish. He was a swordsman, and his core seemed to lack an elemental inclination. I put it to the side with the rest, for later…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Dungeon, Medea Island -0-0-0-0-0- That was boring. A few snippy comments and the trio teleported out of there. It was the smart decision, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't very entertaining. The curses and grumblings of 'Vert' were enjoyable enough, though. Learnt some new ones there. They didn't last as long as Haythem's party, and due to an entirely different reason. Haythem and his party members were cautious and wary, preparing adequately before each dive into the flooded sections.…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Guild Hall, Phenoc Colony, Medea Island, Kalenic Sea Later That Night -0-0-0-0-0- Haythem Linus was a man without many scruples. It was practically a necessity, as the life of a gold ranked Guilder was fraught with danger. Often they were given jobs that should have been given to Platinums, but none could be contacted or the job was time-sensitive. Silvers weren't strong enough to survive most jobs the guild was called on to handle, relegating them to Dungeons where they could hone…

-0-0-0-0-0- Phenoc Colony, Medea Island, Kalenic Sea The Next Day -0-0-0-0-0- The sun dawned like always, though there was no brilliant sunrise to observe; the usually clear blue sky was obscured by thick cloud cover. The entrance to my dungeon was crowded with parties prepared to enter. Some temporary shelters had been constructed to keep the heat off, while the visiting Guilders waited for their turn. Some of the local Guilders had been recruited to perform guard duty. They kept fights from breaking…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Dungeon, Medea Island, Kalenic Sea Moments after the Delve. -0-0-0-0-0- I... I may have gone a little overboard. After seeing them mow through the crabs, even when they were full-on trying their best to murder the party, I'd kind of just assumed they'd do the same with the fish. they were smaller, weaker and needed numbers to make up the difference. I completely disregarded the fact they were at a huge disadvantage. They were underwater, which severely restricted their…

-0-0-0-0-0- Outside the Dungeon, Medea Island, Kalenic Sea -0-0-0-0-0- Layla was informed the moment her relatives and their party had returned and she quickly set her paperwork aside to go out and meet them. On the way down the short path, she noted that the waterfall pouring off the cliff had ceased. Most likely, Medean's men had diverted the river down towards the valley where they could make better use of it. When she caught sight of the party she almost burst into laughter. Thankfully, she was…

-0-0-0-0-0- The Guild Hall, Medea Island, Kalenic Sea After the Delve -0-0-0-0-0- It was all rather quiet after the second group ran my first floor. The leaderless first group left the day after, with Meser glaring at the entrance to my dungeon until I was too far away to see. It was a little creepy and foreboding, not gonna lie. It was made worse because the Crab Knight absorbed half of Rorgas's mana, leaving me a bit in the dark with regards to his life. One of many siblings, lived a comfortable…

A slight adjustment to her blindfold and nod to Felin later, they were on their way to the large command tent set up off the beach. Layla watched as the common men and women who joined them on the island went about their morning routine, stepping aside and giving respectful nods as she passed them. A glance showed…
