A/N: A break for now.
Back Above Ground …Back above ground I heaved a sigh of relief. After everything’s said and done, we’ve been fighting those of the Undead types; even if it’s lights in a fake dimensional world, it’s something that feels really real1. There wasn’t an extreme amount of guro2 to be had, but even so, having to continuously stare at Undead monsters is pretty tough.
Anyway, we organize the profits; in order to make an even split, all the money and equipment were brought out and put into a pool, then divided evenly. The money for each person was roughly around 5000 Glo; in terms of the profit from the dungeon, it’s pretty slim.
There wasn’t any gathering of the magic and elemental inscribed items called [Magic Swords]. They might have come out of treasure chests from fighting if we had gone a little further down. By the way, currently Magic Swords are unable to be made by players.
How about going down one more time? Though that subject was also raised, the matching opinion was pretty much everyone saying, “Let’s stop for today,” at the same time. Because the traps were numerous and the time limit was way too troublesome, everyone had accumulated quite a bit of mental fatigue from the dungeon’s first sortie.
“Yosh, then let’s return. Need to put up the information, to a point, on the forums, na.”
At Red’s comment, all members nodded.
This isn’t a dungeon that you can move ahead in all by yourself while hiding information.
“Then, it’s about time that I should excuse myself; thank you for the party.”
I judged that around here I should leave the group, so after giving my thanks I withdrew from the party.
――――――――――――――――――
Quite honestly, you could probably say that being able to enter the dungeon together with those Hero members today meant that I actually had remarkably good luck.
They’re a formidable opponent that uses a shield to firmly perform defense and have the ability to once in a while use magic above to negate attacks. It would be safer to think of today’s dungeon attack as an exception.
Now then, thinking about this time, the things that played the biggest role for me in that dungeon were the Thief Skill, for finding and dismantling traps, and eliminating the troublesome ghost-type Wights; those were the main core actions that seemed the best.
But with Bow in the back as support, there’s no interference; since it doesn’t need the time to chant like magic; it’s also easy to do diversions and obstructive actions.
After that is the treasure chests, naa … with regards to human nature, they want to open them deep down.
And as long as you know they’re coming, then next time will probably be fine … though I think that, it wouldn’t be strange for there to be treasure chests with traps that do area-of-effect petrification of players, forced separation to different places, or at the absolute worst, summons a death-god-like Boss Monster to fight.
It might be only from the trend of the treasure chests that came out from this time’s dungeon attack, but this ratio shouldn’t be more or less correct. I guess this is another way of inviting death through greed.
Actually, Thief Skill’s
Later let’s try and investigate if I can reproduce it through Blacksmithing. When I returned safely in Nexia, talk about the dungeon was being exchanged here and there. Right now, the main part of the player’s discussion is this dungeon’s walkthrough. Walking this dungeon, when thinking of treasure hunting, you have to dive down in the most efficient way timewise … new items are kind of a given in the depths of the this dungeon; here the devs decided to go with the style of not announcing it until players found them, since it’s obvious. I wonder if anything’s been added from this time. While watching all the types of people heading towards the dungeon, I put together my thoughts on next time’s prospects and the necessary tools. For now I’ll increase my abilities against traps, na … It looks like the players will be fighting this dungeon for some time to come. SKILLS

It’s a trap because, once you opened it, even if you clear the quest in the room you just entered, it won’t open. Trapped doors begin to appear on the 3rd floor down; from the 7th floor down they increase.
Beginning with discussion about monsters, a number of voices were raised saying that the traps were too brutal. If they didn’t train Thief like me, then they should have ended up crying … There’s quite a bit of hesitation, since when you learn it you have to spend 8 Exp, but thinking on it now, that amount of expenditure was most likely in anticipation of this kind of activity.
Like what monsters with special abilities are yet to come, and what preparations are necessary to deal with going through it in the 1 hour time limit. And finally, the luck with maps … for that you can only pray, though.
A person with great luck might be able to avoid meeting any … that’s the kind of frequency this trap has.
