Meanwhile over back at the house, The sun was setting, and Ryan and his new little village of guests were just now meeting the group of friends The rogue sisters recruited. These mixed group of people from Deland, Ala-Ash, Faterra, and Sivika were all tired from traveling and were offered a relaxing swim in the lake. They all agree, and Ryan takes this time to get to know them.
Upon meeting them, someone from the group asks If there were any dungeons around here. Ryan mentions Blue Cove and suddenly 5 people from Aurora’s group of friends wants to go do it. On top of 2 other people from the Edough group.
Ryan asks one of the girls to escort them through the group, but Zephyr, Kannell, and everyone else all appeared preoccupied. Ryan then decides he was going to be the one to do this for his guests. He runs inside and puts on his combat attire, and when he gets outside, he asks Kannell to send him them To Blue Springs. Kannell who was in a pretty heated debate with another woman from Edough both with a drink in hand, on how they spend their points on their Arcane tree, pauses and teleports them all away. Then she gets back to arguing with her.
Upon Arriving at the Aquifer dungeon Ryan learns of the group he was going to be shadowing through this dungeon. He was the highest level of them all at level 58. They all had mixed levels between level 12 and 22. The highest one being their tank whose name was Igor. He was a silent man who wore minimum armor. He held a 2 handed Axe and was extremely muscly. The healer they had was named Savannah. She appeared to be talkative and had appeared to be one of those stereotypical “Valley Girls.” The other DPS’s appeared to consist of 4 hyper young adults appearing to be between ages 18 and 19. They were all “Corrupters” who apparently were proud to announce that they all “learned their class like last week”. This kind of freaks out the Ice Mage, the other DPS in the party. Ryan who looks at Igor, prays that he is one of those cool and collected tanks. The teens in the group were impatient and when Ryan chooses to lead them down the same path he and the other group did when they first came here earlier this year. Upon entering a room full of monsters, the Corrupters push him out of the way and start casting Damage Over Time spells on everything in the room before Igor even had time to enter. Chaos soon ensued.
As the idiots begin drawing in the Ire of threat in the room Igor sweeps wide and creates a shock wave that sends all the skeletons toward the wall. He then gets their attention. He then looks back at the idiots with anger. Savanah then gets to work on healing him. “Oh my god, guys, like, slow down!” Savannah shouts.
Ryan stands back away from everyone knowing he can clear this mob in a heartbeat, but he was merely here for safety of the group since he needs them all alive to cast their vote in the future.
As they cleared this room of the mobs, The Corrupters rush ahead and Dot the next room before Igor even enters. He then starts cursing at them in his native tongue. Ryan just sits back in disappointment.
“They are going to do this the whole run aren’t they” He thinks to himself. As he hears an explosion that throws dirt and dust into the Air.
2 hours into the dungeon when they encounter The Boss “Hugo” things get nasty. Unaware that Hugo could respawn even though they he and his team killed him, He learns from them that lost souls in dungeons are eventually chosen to replace a Fallen Boss, “For there must Always be a Wing Boss” Savanah says.
When the lasers from Hugo’s mouth gets fired, Ryan gives up and sits in the corner of the room and puts on the song “So Poetic” From Sundressed. He then waits. Less then 50 seconds into his song, the healer gets blasted backward to the wall right beside him. He then rolls his eyes in shame and touches her and casts [Soul Transfer] On her and gives her 20% of his health. When she gets up, she complains about her breaking a nail. “Oh My Gosh! Like, this is totatally all your guys fault!” Suddenly Hugo starts angrily start charging at her and she starts running for her life.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
Ryan, who was up against the wall and upset at this group, felt like The Corrupters in the group were like the Seagulls from the movie “Finding Nemo” To him every spell they cast, instead of saying “Mine!” he felt like they were yelling “DOT!” All he could hear coming from their mouths on each cast was DOTDOTDOT!!! When Igor gets launched to the other side of the room, Ryan has had enough. He pauses his song, and he picks up his spell blades and enchants them with [Black Plasma] and with one quick hit drops Hugo. He then walks over to Savanna who was complaining about how this run was trash, he grabs her and points to Igor. “Heal Him NOW!” Ryan demands.
Feeling his hostility directed at her, she stops rabbling on and heals him up. She then stares at Ryan and crosses her arms and turns her head in disgust. As Hugo’s duck body bursts into ashes, Ryan retrieves the Key from the pile and slides it on over to The Ice mage and Igor. They both take the key and unlock the chests at the front of the door. They both get all the gear in those two boxes and there was some DPS gear that The Corrupters could use. But Ryan takes this gear and incinerates it in front of them which pisses them off.
“NO GEAR FOR YOU! Work as a damn team! Let Igor do his damn job! You support him! And YOU Savanna!” Ryan says while bringing his hands to the side of his head in an irritated pose “YOU NEED TO SHUT THE HELL UP AND JUST FOCUS ON HEALING! STOP TALKING MY EAR OFF! YOU GOT IT!?” Ryan screams. Igor then looks over at Ryan and starts Clapping. The Ice mage also starts clapping.
Suddenly everyone calms down and straightens up. Ryan then leads everyone to the next chamber where the Corrupters push him out of the way again and start yelling Dot! Dot! Dot! Rapidly again and pull the whole room plus the next two. Ryan then unpauses his song at the 2:27 mark and angrily chases after them. After pull the 5+ mobs they trained into the last chamber Ryan casts down Black Rain upon all the skeletons and the immature Corrupters cheer at him. At the last door they come to, Ryan remembers this last boss is immortal, and that Noodle was able kill him with laughter while he was eating. Ryan chooses to take a different door instead of that one, but the Immature Corrupters burst through it. Ryan then instructs the rest of the team that his boss is immortal and the only way they could defeat him was by pure luck as he chocked to death laughing at his teams Tank’s stats. Igor and the Ice mage now briefed burst in through the door behind them and find this last boss “Zester” dead with red herring stuffed in his mouth.
Ryan then looks at them puzzled in lets out a Long distraught “HOW?!”
The Corrupters looks over at him and laugh,
“Read the room noob!” One of them teases at him.
“Ya, noob we pwned this guy by reading the door to the room. There was clearly a red fish + alligator mouth clearly carved on the door. That was the fight. G.G. Alligator man thingy, GG!” Another Corrupter shouted. They then open the chests, and they see gear they could use. One of the female corrupters lifts up one of the chests and finds a two-handed axe underneath it. She then pulls it out of the hole it was in and slides it over to the Igor. They all then start changing into their new gear. When Ryan looks at the front of the room where all the Red Herring was sitting at, he bangs his head on the wall and restarts his song over.
They then leave the chamber and start heading back up to the entrance of the dungeon. Then they all start walking back to the house. During the walk back everyone admits they all had fun. Igor who was enjoying his new shiny 2 handed axe admits he was grateful for Ryan tagging along. The trolls in the back of the party however were preoccupied. They pissed off the Ice mage when they pulled a whole pack of Bear to them, and They choose to freeze them all together in a big block of Ice. They were being pulled down a frictionless Ice Road the Ice mage made as they walked. Everyone enjoyed the peace and silence and non-childish games. When they all got back to the House, Ryan had a talk with Aurora and her sisters about these people behavior. Before the ice mage unthawed them out, that’s when the girls realize those were the trouble some people she banned from coming on this trip. Arcadia who was in the room with them then gets asked a favor.
She opens up a portal to the Eyefore PvP zone and Aurora and her sisters pushes the block of ice through it. The portal then is closed. Ryan who was beyond pissed upon learning this, Prances around back and forth doing his very best not to lose it in front of his guests. He takes a few deep breaths and chooses to get back in his dress suit and just eat dinner with the rest of this little community then afterword he helps them start a big bonfire and he puts on a Presentation.
