Chapter Fourteen

Dungeon Battle - Opponent Disco!

“Same strategy?” Ermos asked with a grunt.

We lined up at the front of the dungeon in a clump of bodies. I felt a little more prepared than we were last time, making some budget friendly upgrades. The ratkin held bucklers with long daggers that gleamed with polished edges. They each had a padded helmet, upping their lethality score from a two to a three.

The female dwarves wanted crossbows, but I couldn’t afford them. I purchased basic leather helms and light armor for their chests. This didn’t increase their lethality rating, but it did help their survivability.

Felix was relegated to playing in the main dwarven room while Imy joined us on the front lines. The young woman scowled even though she looked tired and worn, trying her best to match most of the faces in the lineup.

We knew what was coming - brutal fighting.

“Yup, pretty much. We have too many people in our dungeon. Our numbers are what makes us great. We charge and win ten SP or lose and learn,” I said, watching the timer count down from two minutes.

Imy said, “I talked with Seven. We discussed the best way for me to try to get home and the odds are not good. Either I go to another planet with its own wars, stay here, or settle on Nisso somewhere random until the realms connect again.”

Anita opened her mouth to mention this was likely not a good time.

Imy continued, “With that said, I do think your community has been most welcoming. From a fighting standpoint, these battles don’t count for my magical timer restrictions, and they reset my casting cooldowns too so they’re nice in that sense.”

“Uh, what casting restrictions?” I asked.

“I can heal a person from a sliver of health to full, once per week. It adds up cumulatively. If I heal an arrow to a lung that was mortal given time, I probably just used most of my mana. That mana doesn’t drip replace, it replaces the used amount at an exact point in time. Why magic works that way is unknown, but it does. I can also restart a heart once a month. If you take an arrow to the eye and die, I have to heal the brain and eye as well as restart the heart. Healers are limited, but if there are a bunch of us and no one is dying often, we’re redundant,” Imy said.

“And old age?” I asked.

Imy smirked, her blue eyes twinkling when she shook her head. “No different than taxation, it comes for us all - even the elves.”

“Thanks for helping,” Anita said.

“Eh, gotta pay my way, but… not exactly thrilled with this plan,” Imy said, earning a smile from Anita.

“Ha! That’s what I said,” Anita teased, helping with the growing tension.

I shrugged, watching the time countdown from ten.

Fortune favors the bold!

When the timer hit one, the shimmering blocker vanished and I instantly hated my plan too. A fierce battle cry roared out from the other dungeon at a volume so intense my ears rang.
