The sun is setting, so it’s going to get dark soon, it’s now or never. We walk up to the cave, it’s so dark that we can’t see into it so Tana lights a small flame in the palm of her hand, and we enter the cave. Tana’s flame is enough light for us to see where we are going.
I wonder what kind of monster we have to kill in this cave? It killed an entire party of adventurers already, so it clearly isn’t like the wolves and slimes we fought in the woods.
“I don’t like this place, it’s scary.” (Tana)
We go deeper into the cave, and we see animal and human bones laying around. Looks like that adventurer party wasn’t the only thing to stumble in here. This monster seems very dangerous.
“Let’s keep going.” (Claire)
We keep going on in the cave. We’ve been exploring the ominous cave for what seemed like 45 minutes now, this damn thing doesn’t seem to want to end.
We stay silent for most of the journey through the cave. I wonder, what if the monster is too powerful for our party? What if it turns out like when that disgusting holy knight, Sebal kicked my ass and we were helpless against him. I hope I never have to see Sebal again. Could this monster kill our party, and make our progress pointless?
Eventually we see light coming from an open area in the cave, and Tana dispels her flame. We enter the area, and it’s a large open area lit by an opening in the ground above us leaking in light from the full moon.
We see a giant creature snacking on what looks like a dead human body. I also see in the corner of the cave what looks like dead female adventurers with their clothes ripped, and covered white stuff. Did this giant thing have its way with the female adventurers before they died? What the hell?
“It looks like a cave ogre.” (Claire)
“Sounds scary.” (Tana)
The ogre through the body, and gets up. It appears to be around 25 feet tall. The ogre spots us and grabs a spiked club the size of a man. It looks Claire and Tana, and starts to drool and smile. That’s gross, I don’t want to know what he wants to do to them.
The Ogre Starts slowly approaching us.
“Brace yourselves!” (Claire)
The Ogre prepares to swing the spiked club at us like a baseball bat. Claire runs out in front of us and prepares a spell.
“Class 2 Ice Magic, Ice Shield!” (Claire)
Claire forms a 5 feet tall ice shield which is double her width in front of her. The ogre’s club hits it head on, shattering the ice shield, sending Claire flying.
“GAH!” (Claire)
“CLAIRE!” (Chandler & Tana)
The ogre’s name and level now appears over it.
<Cave Ogre, Level 21>
Shit, it’s higher than all of us, this isn’t good. Tana heals Claire with her flame, and I decide to cast support magic on Claire.
“Class 1 Support Magic, Attack Up! Class 1 Support Magic, Defense Up!” (Chandler)
I cast my support magic on Claire, then I brace my shield in front of the Ogre. It then upper cuts my shield and I go flying up in the air. Damn that hurt! It also took a lot of health, I might die when I hit the ground.
“I can’t have master die too!” (Tana)
Tana heals me with her flame mid-fall before I hit the ground. Damn that technique sure is clutch.
“Ki Art, Burning Fox Flame!” (Tana)“GAAWR!” (Ogre)
Tana burns the Ogre to buy me and Claire time to get up, and recover from our blows. We are just barely hanging on right now, because of Tana’s healing, without her we’d be dead. Now that I think of it, this is just like a boss fight, all we need to do is find the right strategy.
“Class 2 Ice Magic, Multi Ice Shard Shot!” (Claire)
Claire fires a dozen ice shards at the ogre and they only scratch it.
“GRAWWW!” (Ogre)
“Looks like that only made it mad!” (Claire)
The ogre sticks the club up up in the air, then proceeds to slam it down towards Tana.Shit, I can’t have our lifeline getting killed!
“Nnooo!” (Tana)
I run over to block the attack. The attack slams down on my shield hard, and one of the spikes stabs through my shoulder. Damn, it takes all my strength to hold back this attack, and that wound hurts like a bitch.
“MASTER!” (Tana)
“CHANDLER!” (Claire)
Tana starts crying.
“Why master... why?” (Tana)
“Because, I know what it’s like to be without parents, mine recently moved away. I don’t want you to be alone, or to be worried, so I’ll be there for you, and protect you as your guardian figure! So hurry up and heal me!” (Chandler)
The Ogre pulls out it’s spiked club and blood sprays from my wound. Damn, I’m about to die again. Tana heals my injuries, while smiling with teary eyes.
“Thanks Master.” (Tana)
I think I have a strategy to take this thing down.
“I’ve got an idea on how to kill this thing off.” (Chandler)
“How?” (Claire)
“Just watch.” (Chandler)
I run up, and wait for the Ogre to try and smash me with it’s club. It swings it down, but I dodge it, and the club gets stuck in the ground. I then run up the club, and jump when I’m up at the top.
“Now die, Bastarddd!” (Chandler)
While in the air I swing my sword at it’s ugly head. Blood drips and my sword gets stuck in it’s head, while I hang there.
“Is it over?” (Chandler)
But then the Ogre opens it’s mouth to take a bite out of me. Shit, I’m stuck! Looks like I’m not strong enough to deliver a finishing blow. It sucks to only be level 7.
“Sorry Chandler!” (Claire)
Why is Claire apologizing? Suddenly I feel something impale my back, and it’s an ice shard piercing through my back, and then piercing the Ogres brain through its open mouth. The Ogre falls over dead, with me along with it. Shit so that’s why she apologized.
“MASTER!” (Tana)
Tana runs over to heal me while crying. We gain our XP, and we all level up. I become level 10, Tana becomes level 13, and Claire levels up to level 20. Damn, that gave a shit load of XP.
I sit up with the Ogre’s dead body against my back, while Tana heals me.
“Claire you could have killed me!” (Chandler)
“But I didn’t, and we killed the monster. Sorry.” (Claire)
Claire makes a goofy face, jeez this girl...After Tana heals me I decide to sit in the same spot and rest, that battle was exhausting.Then all of the sudden Tana sits on my lap while smiling. This causes Claire to blush.
“Whaa?” (Claire)
“Tana? What are you-“ (Chandler)
“Ku, I’m rewarding you, silly master. I’m allowing you to stroke my tail, I know you’ve been looking at it.” (Tana)
That is true I have been wanting to pet it really bad.
“AH! Master why is something suddenly poking me?” (Tana)
Claire blushes even more now.
“CHANDLER! What the hell!?” (Claire)
Damnit, I’m trying to protect this girl, not attack her!
“Sorry Tana, it’d be best if you got off my lap, you’re too young for that.” (Chandler)
“Why? I’m eleven years old, that is probably old enough!” (Tana)
“No that’s not!” (Claire)
She’s only eleven? Shit, I thought she was a little bit older, good thing the FBI doesn’t exist in this world. But this fox girl is definitely cute!
I wonder what adventurers await in the near future?
