"Brace for the incoming! This is not over!" The king of the middle lifted the hammer again and turned to guard the door. Walker had no choice but to retreat to where the king stood and prepare himself for what was to come. "Can you melt that ice and slow the slimes coming here?" The king of the middle had seen the degree that the water had helped and knew that even if Walker could not use the same skill again that just having a lot of water on the ground would weaken the slimes. "If worst comes to…-

"These doors were made with some of the highest fogging ability this kingdom has to offer. It was made to hold back the heat of the many forges behind it and welcome the new generations in to the high forge. Those pests are eating it away." Walker swore he felt the ground slightly rumble as the king of the middle grew much angrier. "That soaking skill you used, can you do it again? Can you make it hit those slimes and get them off my priceless high forge?" The words were less of a question and more of…

In total there were ten armed and at the ready dwarven guards spaced out behind and to the sides of the king of the middle and Walker. Midnight had taken the chance to walk slightly behind and examine the ten dwarven golems that were walking with them. She had an insatiable curiosity since she knew they were created from metal and mana, but couldn't figure out how they worked. It perplexed her, especially since she could not eat it. The area was fairly quiet and clear. The only signs that anything had…

Midnight was giving Walker skeptical looks. She was doubting the sanity of the king of the middle since he was spouting grand phrases as he adorned himself with armor and wielded his large hammer. "Ready yourself. We are leaving to the high forge in the merchant district!" The king of the middle shouted at Walker and Midnight who didn't hesitate to follow him. "Can you tell us about the high forge? Unfortunately, we have yet to tour the city you and your people have spent their hard work and time to…

"Hello, we have come to greet the king of the middle. We are here mainly to extend the invitation of the Genesis alliance. But we are also here to assist with the yellow acidic slime issue. There is more to the Genesis alliance that will take time to sort out, however, we can not worry about that until the people are at ease." Walker paused and motioned for Remey to come forward next to him. This is Remey, she is our alchemical brawler and she is theorizing a potion that can act as a poison to the…

The party made their way to a smaller tunnel that was gated liken the previous entrances. However, this one was already open and allowed them through without waiting for it to be opened or a golem to guard it. Walker easily read administrative buildings off the open gate before they walked through. "This should be the place we can meet with the king of the main level of the city. Everyone prepare yourselves. I am not sure what to expect at this point." Walker could hear a great many voices from the end…

There were many turns and twists that the party was guided through. Many roads were blocked off by the golems which all appeared to have some acidic damage. The party even passed one that had completely broken down while blocking a road due to the parts of the yellow slime body still on it. "The golems are not doing well. They have to be barely taking care of the problems here. But I have a feeling things are much worse below ground." Walker was beginning to spread his senses out and realized that…

As the party headed toward the gates there was a series of clicks and they watched as the gate opened by itself. They also witnessed some small gears at the sides that appeared to be the cause. "There is a little steam escaping from where the gears are. The steam makes them move! That is amazing." Walker was finally seeing the truth from the many tales told of the dwarven city. "That is what the merchants meant by self opening doors. It isn't magic but steam and gears." Gil felt that a huge puzzle had…

"It seems way too quiet. I know Onyx could feel vibrations up on the surface but for the ground to be vibrating it seems...too quiet." Walker finally broke and said it out loud. He felt that there was something more to the silence. "So what, it is getting way too hot." Remey wanted to agree with the silence being the issue but she was having too much trouble with the growing heat. "Oh, is it hot? I can't really tell much since I gained the fire resistance passive skill." Walker laughed nervously…

The meeting had lasted minutes and been filled with ups and downs. So much so that the party could only read over the new quest they had to wonder if it had really just happened. "Leader, the king was very...different, than what we know." Su was the first to come out of her own head and speak. The golems were leading them toward an opened downward staircase that appeared to be well traveled. There were even rotating hooks on the ceiling to attach large bags. The mechanisms were hidden from view as they…
