Blink, Blink, blink.
Seeing a blinking light on a Giant map a person sitting behind a counter desk looked up.
"Hmm, what is this? After so long it looks like a new one has surfaced. Let us see, Level 1, grade 1, threat level 1. It looks like it must be a new born. It must have been eager to get some LF for it to surface so fast after being born. I guess I should tell the Guild master that a new Dungeon has surfaced."
With that, the person stood up and went through the door behind him, went up a flight of stairs that were in the adjoining room, walked down a long corridor and knocked on a door.
"Enter."
As the person entered the room they saw a middle aged man, he was roughly 1.8 meters tall (6' ft), fairly slender build like a runners, brown\grey fur all over his body, red eyes, 2 long ears on top his head that bent backwards and went half way down his back, and most noticeable of all the head of a hare. He was a member of the Long eared Hare tribe.
"Greetings Guild master. I have a report to make."
"Oh. has something happened with the kingdom? Or perhaps has one of the staff tripped and spilled their drink on some one else again? Lorel wouldn't come to work for a week after last time. hehe."
"No Guild master she caught her self before that happened again this time, but what I came to talk to you about today is that it appears a new Dungeon has surfaced. It's still only a new born with level 1, grade 1, threat level 1, but it is fairly close to our kingdom."
"Oh is that so? I wonder what kind of Dungeon this one will be. It has been so long since a new one has popped up around us. 60 years I think. I wish I could go check it out but its a shame I have so much work to do here. Hmm, who should I send to check it out? Greg would probably eat it just to see what a [Dungeon Master] tasted like. Fiona would probably get lost before even getting half way there. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Not really, how about we just use the usual method."
"Meh, why not, it's not like a newborn dungeon is much of a threat."
After saying that the guild master went to the side of the room, picked up a dart out of a box on a table, closed his eyes and threw it over his shoulder at a wall full of pieces of paper randomly placed on the wall with party leaders names on them.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
"Hmm, looks like Beth and her party? They may be new but they are not bad and could use the experience of scouting a new Dungeon." said the clerk when he saw where the dart landed.
"Them? They are kinda young and low ranked. Well, I guess it's fine. Send them the quest. Make sure to tell them not to kill it before we know what kind of Dungeon it is. Who knows it might be a prankster dungeon, I love those things. So fun."
"I hope it is a treasure Dungeon. It would boost the local economy. As long as it's not an evil Dungeon or a similar type it should be fine."
----------------------------------------
"Hey, guys get up, get up. I SAID GET UP!"
Bang, thud, slash, BOOM, splash.
"Fine, just stop with the violence, we're up, we're up. What's with all the excitement?"
"The adventurers guild sent us a quest! Us, a quest! I can't believe they sent us a quest! We are still only rank 5, complete newbs. They must think we are the best newbs at the moment. And it's not just any old gathering or killing quest, it's an Exploration of a newly exposed Dungeon!"
"What, don't joke with us Beth, they couldn't have given us such an important quest. It should have been given to some one like Greg or Fiona."
"Shut up Lance. I'm not kidding. They really gave the quest to us. Open your [Party] window and check the quest section."
Party Quests
Dungeon Survey
A newly discovered Dungeon has appeared. No information is known about it other than the location and that it is a new born. Go and find out more about it for the Guild.
Return to the Adventurers Guild at any location for the rewards after the survey.
100% completion reward: 65 Large Silver coins and 1,000 party EXP.
"Damn it's really there. I don't know why they would give this quest to us but hot damn am I glad they did, look at those rewards."
"I know right, it's so awesome even the EXP isn't bad, we will be able to live like tier 1 nobles for a year if we finish with 100% completion."
"Alright, let's do this. We need to get our supplies ready. The Dungeon is not really that close to us, but we are still the closest City to it at only around 12 thousand kilometres or so from it."
"Right, that's just like next door."
