Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
It's the afternoon of a new day and I'm with Typical Bespectacled Mage and Taciturn Female Healer in Some Town Tavern. I'd like to say that it's nice that we can divide all the gold among just ourselves and not have to put any into the party fund!
Typical Bespectacled Mage
I think we should set aside some of the gold for the party fund.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
What? Why? Our hero leader isn't here so we shouldn't need to.
Typical Bespectacled Mage
Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman took financial classes in the School for Aspiring Adventurers. We'd be better off with some of our gold under his management.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
That makes him a glorified accountant! Is that all the good he is to us?
Typical Bespectacled Mage
You usually hide behind him in a fight.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Oh yeah.
***
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
We should start looking for a new temp for our party.
Sneaky Ogre Thief
May I join?
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Who said that?
Typical Bespectacled Mage
Under the table?
Sneaky Ogre Thief
No, I'm up here.
Taciturn Female Healer
How do you find the grip to hang under the ceiling with your size?
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
How do you find the self-assurance to hang under the ceiling in public!?
***
Typical Bespectacled Mage
Long story short, we invited Sneaky Ogre Thief to join our party. Sneaky Ogre Thief and Taciturn Female Healer thought that we should Raid a Dungeon. That was how we ended up exploring the Cave behind the Waterfall of The Nearby Woods.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
How are we going to do this with only one tank? Despite being an Ogre, Sneaky Ogre Thief does not have many Hit Points or much Defense. We've two Thieves in the party, for goodness sake!
Typical Bespectacled Mage
Looks like you've to tank again. Your Defense and total Hit Points are better than Sneaky Ogre Thief's.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
I hope this does not become our usual practice.
***
Sneaky Ogre Thief
We don't need tank.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
What do you mean we don't need a tank?
Sneaky Ogre Thief
Ambush Round.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
What? Hey, I didn't see those Goblins!
Crude Axe Goblin
Well, neither did we see you, sweetheart!
***
Sneaky Ogre Thief
First Strike. I stab Unfortunate Goblin Target.
Unfortunate Goblin Target
Uh, I'm Out!
Taciturn Female Healer
I attack Crude Axe Goblin!
Crude Axe Goblin
Aw shucks, I'm Out too!
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
This is new. We're overwhelming the Goblins with a surprise attack!
Typical Bespectacled Mage
Don't just stand there! Shoot Rearguard Goblin Spellslinger before she casts something!
***
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
That was a quick fight! We knocked Out all the Goblins before any of them could retaliate.
Typical Bespectacled Mage
We've two Thieves. Their combined Ambush Skills and the single one from your Archer Class gives us an impressive chance to call Ambush Round!
Sneaky Ogre Thief
We don't need tank.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
This is a refreshing experience for me!
Sneaky Ogre Thief
Ambush Round!
***
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
That was another quick fight. I can't complain since we're getting Experience Points and gold at little risk to ourselves.
Typical Bespectacled Mage
I agree. The easy Experience Points and gold are welcome.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
You know, this won't work so well if that spikey-haired idiot were here. He'd just charge into combat!
Typical Bespectacled Mage
That is an interesting observation.
Sneaky Ogre Thief
Ambush Round!
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Already?
***
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Yet another quick fight done with. It's great that we're not wasting Healing Potions!
Typical Bespectacled Mage
Actually, I'm using quite a few Mana Potions. All those Heal and Ice Spells cost me a lot of Mana Points.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
You're drinking our profits!
Sneaky Ogre Thief
Ambush Round!
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Ah, let's get this over with.
Sneaky Ogre Thief
We need a tank.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
What? Why?
Sneaky Ogre Thief
It's the Mid-Boss.
***
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Taciturn Female Healer, could you handle the Mid-Boss for us?
Taciturn Female Healer
Okay, I'll attack Axe Goblin Mid-Boss!
Typical Bespectacled Mage
That leaves the rest of us to handle the other Goblins.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
There are a little too many of them.
Typical Bespectacled Mage
Looks like you'll have to tank again.
Axe Goblin Mid-Boss
Hey, you people have Ambush Round! Can we start the fight yet!?
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
What an impatient Goblin!
***
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Let's start the fight!
Axe Goblin Mid-Boss
Finally!
Sneaky Ogre Thief
I use First Attack on Only Goblin Healer. Critical. He's Out. I attack Fleeing Goblin Mage.
Axe Goblin Mid-Boss
That's all my spellcasters!
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
And your Goblin Stabbers are hardly doing any damage to me!
Typical Bespectacled Mage
That's very convenient for me. Since I don't have to Heal you as much, I can join in the attack with my Ice Spells.
Axe Goblin Mid-Boss
This is not good.
***
Axe Goblin Mid-Boss
Hey, no fair! You finished my minions and then ganged up on me!
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Weren't you impatient to get this over with?
Anyway, it's time to check the loot!
Typical Bespectacled Mage
Let's see, we've found some gold and a Steel Great Axe of Minor Strength. Can you use this, Taciturn Female Healer?
Taciturn Female Healer
It is a little better than my Steel Battle Axe. It'll come in handy if we come across any opponents with Critical Resistance.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
So, what's next?
Sneaky Ogre Thief
Ambush Round!
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Let's get this over with-
Sneaky Ogre Thief
It's the Boss.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Already!? We're progressing quite fast today!
Typical Bespectacled Mage
Looks like there wasn't anything else between the Mid-Boss and the Dungeon Boss.
Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
What sort of tiny Dungeon is this!?
