"what are my gains form having these minions?"
[Anything they kill gives them xp, and some of that goes to you. They can also protect you, or carry out commands that you give them]
He thought about having an entourage of goblins following him around everywhere, but figured he would have more to gain if he sent them off on their own, he would kill over here, and they would kill over there.
As he was about to send them off on a rampage, another group of goblins wearily walked towards them without their weapons at the ready.
(non minion goblin) - *goblin talking noises
The boar had no idea what they were saying, but his goblin minions understood.
(goblin minion) - *goblin talking noises
"What are you guys talking about?"
His goblin minion talked back to him with his mind.
(gob minion) - "They asked us why the boar is not attacking us"
"what did you answer?"
(gob minion) - "We said you da boss man"
"Tell them I am sending you away and that you will join their camp"
(gob minion) - *goblin talking noises
(non goblin minion) *goblin talking noises
The other group of goblins walked back into the thick of the forest.
(goblin minion) - "Should we go with them?"
"Yeah, check out how their whole group works, and try to move up in ranks in their goblin society or whatever it is that they have"
His goblin minions followed the other group into the forest.
"Can I check on how they are doing if they aren’t close?"
[You will have to spend a Dungeon Point to get that ability]
He took direct control of the horned rabbit to see what it was like. His mind shifted from being seated in the boar and instead he was inside the rabbit.
He ran around for a while, but got bored pretty quick, so he went back to the boar.
Deciding to have the rabbit go off on its own for a while, he tried to give it some upgrades.
The stone bones was out of the question, since the rabbit would lose out on a lot of its mobility, but he gave it processed leather armor skin, and snake like fangs. He would have also given it an iron horn, but he wasn't sure if that would be better than the horn that it already has.
Focusing, he ordered the rabbit to hunt for small animals to kill, and let him know if it came upon a bigger creature.
Speaking of iron upgrades, he decided to enhance his boar body.
It would cost too much to make all his bones solid iron, so instead he just added an iron coating to the stone bones. He also made his teeth and tusks into iron.
"I'm starting to look badass!"
He wandered around the forest looking for things to kill. Soon he came upon an area that had large spider webs scattered throughout the trees. A spider the size of a dog started to follow him from behind.
He turned around and saw the spider. Using charge, the spider was not fast enough, and it got trampled by the boar.
[+ xp]
[you have gained a level]
[Evolution options available]
While he was looking at his evolution choices, a group of large spiders surrounded him. There were eight dog size spiders, and one was three times the size of a dog.
The large spider turned its backside towards the boar, and let loose a large amount of spider web. It caught onto the left side of the boar, also sticking to its front left leg.
The large spider started to pull, and at the same time, the smaller spiders ran towards the boar.
The large spider must have expected to be able to pull the boar down, maybe even drag it on the ground a bit. Maybe this would have worked for a different boar this size, however, with the stone bones which were covered in iron, the boar didn’t budge.
When the smaller spiders reached him, he used the skill gore on some, impaling them on his tusks, or crushing them as they were thrown away.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
Some spiders bit him, and some tried to tie him up with their web, crawling on top of him trying to wrap him up.
The web went around his legs, and he did feel some tension, but after killing a few more by stepping on them or goring them, he ran a bit away from the spiders area, getting away from some spiders, and dragging the large spider until it let go on its own and ran away.
There was still spider web wrapped around his legs, but it did not infringe on his movement enough for him to care about it.
[+ xp for killing some spiders]
"I am inclined to go back there and kill off some more spiders, and i didn't get a chance to eat any, but I am more interested in evolving."
He took a nibble at some of the web.
[You have gained a material
Giant Spider Silk]
"K, now for the evolution. lets see what my choices are again"
[Boar level 10, evolution options;
Giant Boar
Prairie Boar
Dusk Boar
Forest Boar
Hell Fire Boar]
"Whoa they all sound so cool, well, except for most of them."
"I am already a giant boar because of the dungeon points (I think), and they all sound kinda wimpy except for Hell Fire Boar. That's the only one that sounds like it will for sure let me use magic too"
[All the choices except for Giant Boar give you magical capabilities]
"Whatever, Hell Fire Boar, I CHOSE YOU!"
[Find a safe area for the evolution process (you will be incapacitated)]
"Oh, I wonder where there is a safe place"
[20]
"Maybe there is a cave or something I can hide in"
[17]
"Or maybe I can dig a hole and cover myself up in dirt"
[12]
"Ooh, I can cover myself with bark and grass again!" (it all fell off in that first fight BTW)
[8]
"What are those numbers you are showing me?'
[That's the countdown]
[3]
"For what?"
[0]
[evolution commencing]
"Wait, what?"
For the second time, the Boar Core dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes (potatoes with stone bones, covered with iron)
[Because you are incapacitated, the dungeon will go into auto mode.....ERROR.....]
He regained consciousness who knows how long later, but something didn't feel right.
His boar body wasn't responding as it should.
"Oooh, what was that about"
Focusing his mind to view his body, he was able to get an aerial view of a small area of the forest.
The ground was covered in a red pink fleshy substance. Bones that resembled rib cages were sticking out of the ground periodically. Pools of blood were scattered around the area. Trees within 10 meters were bare of their leaves and bark, everything had a blood red hue to it.
He could see three adventurers standing on the fleshy floor, weapons drawn, fighting off a group of dog sized maggots.
"whats going on?"
[You lost consciousness, the auto dungeon function kicked into action. It has standard procedures that are the same for every dungeon. What you see is the best it could do given what it had to work with]
"I have become some kind of top soil dungeon."
"turn me back into a boar"
[That function is disabled wile humans (or any similar species) are in your dungeon]
"oh boy."
