Nice! I hadn’t know there was a GPS inside my [Status] so I went into settings and toggled it off.

Next and more importantly, I checked my experience. I had 173 xp. Checking my [Combat log], I saw that the ogre had given me a Nice chunk. Easily enough to pay for [Basic: Inspect Item] and [Basic: Masonry] with 31 xp left over.

Looting the Ogre returned 7 [Dungeon Silver] and a skill crystal which I immediately identified as [Basic: Hulk Smash] which was a skill that added extra force to any impact done with a blunt object. I could immediately imagine how much this skill would sell for if I offered it to Professional Baseball. Instead I crushed it in my hand to absorb the [crystal].

The only other thing in the room was a chest which I approached cautiously due to past experience with faux mimics. Using my baseball bat to flip the chest open. I discovered loot not danger. 156 [Dungeon Copper] 23 [Dungeon Silver] 5[Dungeon Gold] 2[lesser Healing potions] and a skill [Heal: Tooth Decay] which I immediately absorbed.

Casting [Heal Tooth Decay] on myself I felt a tingling in my mouth.During all my dental check up except one, I had never had a cavity.That one time was with a dentist who I’d gone to on vacation for a cleaning, and had never expected to go back to again.I was half way convinced he had “found” those three cavities which he had drilled and filled just to pad his bill.

Three fillings popped out and rolled across my mouth before I could spit them out. I cast [Basic: Clean] on my teeth to give them a nice whitening. Now I just needed a [Cure: Gum Disease] and [Freshen Breath] and I would be the envy of dental hygienists everywhere.

I used some of the knowhow I got from the Adventuring Class I’d taken and wrote a macro that would cast and recast [Basic: Increase Healing Rate] [Basic: Increase Stamina Recovery] and [Basic: Increase Mana Recovery] Until my health, stamina and mana were full.Then I sat in the middle of the floor next to the body of a dead ogre and cast my new macro.

Then I crawled back out of the secret hole under the sink and back into the kitchen.My next two options were going down the stairs to the basement which was odd, who ever heard of a basement in Florida.The water table was so high here any basement would flood in no time flat.And stepping out the sliding doors and onto the patio into the back yard.

The patio looked out over a tidily mown lawn there was a retention pond at the edge of the property in which I assumed were alligators and turtle monsters. I still walked over to it and was surprised to see fish swimming just under the surface. I cast [Basic: shock] into the water near the silhouette of a larger fish and a stunned largemouth bass and a handful of bluegills floated to the surface. Hmm. Good spot for fishing.

The air was fresh and a cool breeze blew through the palm trees on the other side of the retention pond.

As expected, a suspicious looking log was moving swiftly towards me.And I started blasting it with Electricity. And I readied my baseball bat for combat which simply involved getting into a batting pose and casting [Basic: Hulk Smash].

The Alligator launched itself out of the water gaping mouth wide open and I swung and caught the alligator in the throat.But the gator got my arm.When the gator fell to the ground it began to roll to try and tear my arm off, and I, wise to gator tricks,dropped and rolled with it.All the time casting [shock].

Then the gator had enough of my bullshit.It let go of my arm and tried to escape back into the pond.And I kept zapping away.I only wish I had a cast iron pan and a cigar so I could do the perfect imitation of a real Florida Man.Rescuing the small yappy dog from the vicious gator.

Alas nobody was around to film me cause the retreat of the whily lizard and I was loath to give chase into the water lest other pond life try to nibble me.I began walking around the pond while I spammed my healing macro.I found that the pond was in a large fenced in section that jutted out behind a subdivision with a dozen nearly identical houses.Each house was, from the exterior at least, almost identical to my own dungeon.

Out of curiosity, I climbed the back patio and opened the sliding glass door of another “house” while the interior kitchen was shaped the same as the kitchen in my own dungeon house, right down to the gaudy floral walpaper, there were four bigger, spell casting goblins sitting around the kitchen table playing poker in this house, (loot after killing 3 [Dungeon Silver]) and there was no ogre infested hidden room under the sink. I was beginning to understand that my dungeon took the form of a gated condo community.

Leaving the rest of the houses to be explored with Sid and Em, I followed the contour of the fence for another 300 yards to a gate. There was another retaining pond here with a bench overlooking the water. Tired, out from all the fighting and walking, I sat down on the bench, and damn if this bench wasn’t a baby mimic

As I sat I felt something bite my ass. Looking down the bench had grown fangs and a digestive system, and was trying to pull me in. I started to blast it with my go to spell [spark] and using my baseball bat as a kind of pole, I jammed the bat into the earth and used that as an anchor for leverage to pull myself away from the foul demonic hell bench. I was learning to hate mimics.

There were still teeth suck in my ass when I managed to dislodge myself from the bench. I [hulk smashed] the sinister seating several times without any noticeable effect. Then I pulled out the small bottle of lighter fluid I carried with me and sprayed the mimic down, and cast ignite on it. The thing screamed as it burnt and it started to waddle towards me, exactly the way I imagined a bench would waddle. I was so angry. It was such a scenic pond. There were turtles, and fish and a couple of great blue herons, no sign of any alligators. The bench had been positioned right underneath a wheeping willow. What kind of monster would imbed itself in such a pastoral location. A shitty mimic, that was what kind of monster. I [Basic: Hulk Smashed] the now burning bench again and the arm rests on the bench reached out and grabbed my aluminum bat and ripped my weapon out of my hand. Then the mimic ate my bat. It gave an audible burp when the entire bat was in its gullet. I [Shocked] it a couple more times, then retreated. Now weaponless, I retraced my steps back to the entrance to my condo.
