DELVE ADVENTURES 6 (because this was a trainwreck)
Team ‘All-Seeing Eye’: Forest Troll/Loyalty/Yasmine’s Chosen/Queen Aurora
Team ‘Hall of Guardians’: Gorgotha/Infernus/Worldbreaker/Ubastet
Hall of Guardians, inside the Hoard:
Infernus: Okay, quickly now, he’s not here!
Yasmine: There, done! There’s your stuff!
Luther: DID YOU JUST UPGRADE YOUR HOARD?! YOU SHOULD HAVE WAITED FOR ME!
Troll: Old man always appear so sudden! Scary!
Ubastet: Yes, we upgraded the hoard. Now go away. Your job is done!
Luther: …BUT…
Worldbreaker: What’s the issue, man? Also what’s wrong with you in general?
Luther: I DON’T WANNA GO BACK TO TRAVELLING WITH THE DUMB HERO! PLEASE UPGRADE YOUR HOARD MORE!
Aurora: Oh. The numbskull broke him. Not the first victim, really.
Gorgotha: That stupid “hero”, I swear… but whatever. You girls and…pet… are on break now. We do all three today and hopefully get enough to open those ten chests, then who knows, maybe we can upgrade again.
Loyalty: What, so we are out of a job now?
Ubastet: Basically! Well, have fun, ladies and wannabe-ladies, level 70 awaits again.
-Level 70 Delve starts-
Yasmine: So we just sit here now and listen to them being overconfident and fail?
Loyalty: Yup.
-Ten minutes later-
Ubastet: -from inside- Aaaaaah what are you guys do– oooooh all the Mana for me!
Everyone outside: …
Ubastet: -returns, dragging the other three with him-
Yasmine: What happened?
Ubastet: That boss was horrible! But you knoooow, it happens with these guys… exploders. They’re just random. All good
Loyalty: …So much for the hoard making things easy, huh? Psh, males.
Luther: YOU NEED TO UPGRADE MORE!
Troll: What about chest? Shiny?
Ubastet: Oh, yeah, level 4, 68 shards and nothing else.
Yasmine: Niiiiiice!
Infernus: …Owwww…
Ubastet: There, almost ready to go again.
Worldbreaker: …This was just… a one time thing… no worries.
-One minute into the second delve-
Worldbreaker: -from inside- Bulette as forced second room?! Why?!
Yasmine: Oh dear…
Infernus: -from inside- Noooo, I don’t wanna be tank!
Gorgotha: - from inside- Well, do your best and don’t faint again or I’ll tell your wife!
Ubastet: - from inside- Man, that’s cruel-- ooh, brown Mana for me!
Infernus: -from inside- What kind of friends are you?!
Troll: …Infernus has wife?
Aurora: Oh yeah. Her name is Ishbaala, they’re actually really cute together. She had her flavour text kinda match the name of his second trait and all. Ubastet is good friends with both of them.
Yasmine: Though isn’t Ishbaala technically Orpheus’ wife and also the wife of the emperor? I mean… that’s a lot of husbands.
Loyalty: Do you ever see Orpheus around? As for the emperor… no one even knows the name of Leonis’ new emperor and the desert is a pretty hot place…
Yasmine: There is no way anyone would let that dumbass govern an empire!
Infernus: -from inside- Aaaah I’m on fire!
Worldbreaker: -from inside- How does that even work?! Aren’t you always on fire?!
Everyone outside: …
-Five minutes later-
-Team returns-
Gorgotha: -drags an unconscious Infernus with him- He made a good effort, only died to the boss.
Ubastet: And I got to cast thrice!
Worldbreaker: Well, at least someone had a good time. Here’s the chest, level 5.
Everyone: …
Troll: Bad chest! Bad! Shiny but bad!
Aurora: Well, it evened out with the first one then.
Worldbreaker: One run remaining, we’ll see.
Infernus: Owwww…I don’t really wanna, but okay…
-Ten minutes and a delve later-
Worldbreaker: And we’re back! Easy win, no issues, not even a problematic room, but…
Everyone: …
Yasmine: The hoard upgrade made it worse?
Luther: NOOOOOO! TRUST THE HOARD!
Ubastet: We opened 10 of the portal chest thingies. Three green troops, two blue, three rings, two coin purses.
Loyalty: That’s what we worked for for three days!?
Luther: NOOO! THAT’S NOT ENOUGH FOR AN UPGRADE!?
Infernus: Sure isn’t. What a day… but really, creepy old man, my head hurts, can you stop yelling and go away? Aren’t you a knight? Just return to your king or queen or whatever!
Luther: SHE DIDN’T MAKE ME QUEEN’S HERALD! -sobs-
Yasmine: …Going home…or better, on vacation…
I never lost a troop before, now upgraded my hoard and all went to hell, lol.
Also the heck, chests… there should be a guaranteed shard drop, for real.
Also ten horrible portal chest openings.
All of this took me well over an hour, which sucked up all my playtime today so that I didn’t do any gnome stuff.
Yeah, what a day…
Also writing these takes me the better part of an hour, so don’t expect me to continue to do that every day (in case anyone even still likes these and isn’t fed up with them). And I am aware they are getting way too long. Novel writer’s curse, I tell you.
