Lord Ailsa and I had been planning all along with this endeavored excursion. Since we got here in a couple of days and so. We had been stalled exploring the newly-born dungeon for days. It is because we've been stuck here with no actions happening. Lord Aisla seems to be frustrated with what he arrived at. However, despite how determined we are to get to the bottom of this shenanigans and see what wonders it holds. But what we found all of a sudden is something much different from what we had expected.

"So, this is the rumored place? Wonderful, indeed!" Lord Aisla interjects in adulation.

"Uhmm, yes…" with a guaranteed uncertainty based on the voice of my tone.

The dungeon pops out of nowhere which makes me perplexed. According to the scout party's report, what they discovered is a hill located in the same place where the dungeon's erected before our feet. The similar marking pasted on the map. Well, it is truly accurate.

"You never fail to impress me, Lord Geoff. Such a marvelous find you have found. I was wrong about being skeptical towards your cause." Lord Aisla praises me.

That puts a smile on my face, actually. Meanwhile, as they are celebrating my worth as their prime explorer of this place. We then are thwarted by an unknown entities. We encounter a menacing swarm of, I believe they are giant spiders. 'They had heard rumors about the species, but never encountered them like this' said the annals of the past reconnaissance team of Kehina. 'The spiders were larger than any they had heard about' stated by the claims of what I've read. I further quote in my mind : "...and the carnage that will ensue will be overwhelming us if this lasts longer."

Men of the first platoon (1st Plat.) and the special royal guards of the second, together with us - Lord Aisla and I, trying to fend these monsters valiantly. Weapons slash and spells cast, but it is a most futile drive in the face of such a mass of spiders. These monsters are rabid, determined, and atrocious. Eventually due to the size of our army's dwindling we are forced to retreat and on Lord Aisla's behest: "Brethren, withdraw behind the hedgehogs and beneath the trenches!" in a bellowed voice, having only managed to kill a small number of the creatures.

Much to Lord Ailsa's dismay based on his countenance, the remaining spiders are chasing after us. The position behind the hedgehogs and under the trenches imploded as we had to seek refuge…

"Lord Aisla…" I call upon him, as I jab my arms towards the place with the tip of my dagger. To much of my surprise, he seems delighted about my insinuation and he conforms right away without hesitations and further asking. In another corner of the dungeon as the spiders are relentlessly following us. The marshal yells: "Soldiers, onwards! To the otherside!" as they retaliate disregarding the numbers of the enemies. More men have died because of the uncooperative retreat. Damage is prevalent, and at the end of the day we eventually emerge victorious. We had suffered numerous casualties, but in the end, we managed to survive.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

Nobody knew what had caused such an unexpected repatriation in this newly-born dungeon, I didn’t expect it either. Of all creatures, why does it have to be those spiders? I sigh, his sigh, and Lord Aisla's sigh. We are relieved to have escaped alive but with a deep sense of dread. We have had to book these endeavors but never were anticipating to be this disparaging. As all were slaughtered by the giant spiders, so we have to emerge from the dungeon with all of the help that we need.

"I have never seen those creatures before. Do you have any idea about this, Lord Geoff?" Lord Aisla inquires, which I refuse to express it out by voice.

I shake my head in response. I sheath my dagger. I then put up some orders to further reinforce this quest. Moreover, Lord Aisla may have acceded to me to take some of these men, especially the levies whom they have volunteered.

The brave adventurers and the messengers regroup and take stock of their situation to ask for the deployment of reinforcements. The dungeon is now under our control. We have accomplished this mission, hence the purpose at what would be the cost? We may have handled to survive at the very stint of our lives, the extermination in the newly-born dungeon, but the creatures that live there are of still a mystery. It is no longer a place of wonder, but a caveat of the danger that still loomed.

“This is getting so dreadful and dire. The situation is not getting any better.” I suggest.

“Indeed, Lord Aisla. I manifest to conquer this dungeon for preemptive measures. Not that we know what awaits and lies deep beneath within the cave.” Lord Geoff bewilders me, as what is he referring to? What dangers are hiding inside this cave?

Without dawdling and dilly-dallying, I ask him the question in a straightforward manner as my face close to his, I say: “There is something you are hiding from me, Lord Geoff. This may be your expedition but I, for the sake of your cause, am using... No, both of us - the heads, we are utilizing the bands which are under my control. We are squandering lives for the leads that I am oblivious of.” telling him to spill the beans of the details of this quest.

“Well, perhaps, you do need to know what lies inside the cave. Or maybe, it is just one of my speculations, however. I am not certain, thus, may enlighten you a ‘lil bit.” Lord Geoff stops mid-way, as he takes a short breath.

Lord Geoff sighs out of gas accumulated on his chest where he converses in a continuity: “Lord Aisla, I would assume that this dungeon also intrigues me the most. It is because, perhaps, this certain kind of phenomenon solely can be manipulated by the spellcasters of Inglovia. In my assumption, they are undertaking an underhanded tactic to dominate Kehina from behind.“ with a definite tone of placidity.

"Thus, Lord Aisla, I suggest taking this dilemma first might cause us sacrifice. But it is better to be safe than sorry. A voyage through the sea may take them with no northern wind at least a couple of months to set foot in Kehina. Or so, maybe more than a couple of months or so, if hurdles present against them.” He adds, in respect to elaborating the information he has had acquired through his studies.
