And again we were inside the Nest.
But this time we did not feel any fear. And not the slightest piety.
Nevertheless, we were all seized with great awe when we saw the interior.
Apart from the murmuring, dripping and running water, there was nothing alive or moving. It was empty!
The stone corridor was completely cleared of living creatures. On each doorway where you could go down to the next level, there were one or two players from the clan of the Scarlet Cross.
I was happy to think of myself as a titled or even crowned person who slowly walks through the palace corridor straight to the throne room, passing by the faithful knights... But I doubt that, in the good old days, the knights would dare turn their backs to the monarch. So although the players of the Scarlet Cross stood in a close rank, we could not see their faces. Only the backs of their heads. It was for security.
Every second "several" monsters were born, a couple of mushrooms grow, several kobolds were reborn. And the players standing at the intersections were responsible for ensuring that no single enemy got into the main passage. All the monsters were destroyed immediately after birth. From the hands of our defenders broke fire flares and stone debris, arrows and bolts. Swords and axes descended relentlessly, daggers and spears rushed to the targets. Some apparently particularly dangerous passages were completely covered by walls of sparkling glistening ice.
In the shortest possible time, the clan of the Scarlet Cross, led by a playful bunny, had done everything possible to turn the dark and dangerous dungeon into such an ordinary place that it was possible to send a group of children from kindergarten here, without the teacher. And they would come back completely unharmed.
Accompanied by foreign warriors, we moved at a quick pace. We turned to a dead end, where a dark-haired girl in an emerald dress touched the wall a few times with her fingers, and then the floor opened with a roar, and steep steps appeared. One of the secrets of the Nest, unknown to us before. And in fact, the descent was very close to the exit. Very convenient if you need to quickly get to the bottom.
"For how much do we agree not to share this passageway’s location?" The rumbling voice of Bom inquired from in front of me. The echo of the half-orc's voice spread over all the nooks of the Nest in his question: "For what amount? For what amount? For what amount? The amount? The amount? "
“Hmm ... good idea,” I said.
"I think so too," Bom nodded. "We will start trading with twenty thousand gold."
We used two more passages to descend. Down to where one of the most serious battle took place for my team — not including Orbit. He had much experience in “other” lives.
There were no problems with monsters. The proteus were killed in packs. Moisture evaporated from the fungi. The water hovered in the air in trembling clots, it seemed that time had frozen and we were wading through corridors filled with stasis.
