[PP-PT-F21] Are We There Yet? "no"

[Reytac 0]

Reytac ducked under one of the outstretched ‘stalks’ of one of the mushrooms, and looked over his shoulder to the silver-plated woman who was walking behind him. ”And you're sure we can just, find these dungeons on nearly any floor?” He got an affirmative, and gave a shrug. Acanthus had convinced him that delving into a dungeon or two would be one of the next steps that he should take in trying to prepare for the front lines – apparently there was equipment, consumable items, that were nearly exclusive to the dungeons scattered throughout the floors. They were currently traipsing through the twenty first floor, after Rey had mentioned that he wanted to check out a cave floor that wasn’t the doom and gloom oppressive tenth floor. 

And he had to admit, this floor was – nice.  Eerily beautiful, even, with glowing lichen and shimmering rocks to serve as the only sources of light. If he didn’t have Night Vision, this floor would be creepy, not beautiful, but with it – the place was glowing with unique light that was near breathtaking. They had just recently crossed over a stream that cut through one of the cavern floors, and he had stopped a moment to just watch the bioluminescent fish that had been darting back and forth in the water. He’d even caught a couple to bring back to Gaius’ restaurant, keeping to his promise to the man to bring back unusual foods. 

”I have to say I am loving this floor. I get so tired of just more and more forests. If it wasn’t for the mental effect on ten, that’s where I would have made my home. So to find another cavernous floor without that, is nice. Oh, hey, watch out.” One thing that Acanthus had warned him about was that the majority of creatures on this floor were some variety of ambush predators. The one that he had just spotted was crouching in a small patch of mushrooms, its head flared out like a mushroom cap itself, but he’d seen it twitch a couple times as they spoke. 

His hammer crashed down into the middle of the head of the creature as it tried to leap out of the mushroom patch it was hiding in. The creature let out a shriek as it shattered, and he shook his head as he hung his hammer back on his belt. Things that relied on stealth, normally, didn’t do well in direct confrontations.

”Right. So now that we’re here, we just need one of those dungeon maps and start hunting it down, or we can spend a lot longer searching without one? Or is the map an absolute requirement to actually find our way?” Rey glanced over his shoulder again to Acanthus as he spoke, but didn’t linger looking at her as he resumed watching around them to make sure there wasn’t another mob trying to sneak up on them.
