DUNGEON CRAWL!!: The Stylized Dungeon Crawling Adventure Game

As Rue peered through the crack in the door, she noticed a few thick strands of wire surrounded in a mess of more wires, clearly cut, if not rusted at the bottom tips so that the other half had gone missing. The metal wires were all covered in rust. The others, made of some strange black material seemed fine, however, albiet torn a bit at the tip. Looking down below, there were in fact several lights visible. However, there is no real bottom in sight.

The barmaid breathed a sigh of relief, a smile washing over her face. She gently pushed the bottle away and shook her head. "Nah, you go ahead and take it. I'm sure there are more special occasions anyway. Yeah. Keep it nice and full, so the next time you and yer fellas get way in on yer heads, you can have a drink and think about the old girl waitin' fer ya here. Kay?" she explained.

The barmaid faked a smile, seriously looking at Gabriel's injuries, her eyes clearly communicating that she was worried. It had appeared that her intent was to keep the halfling's mind off of the trouble. As Gabriel spoke, Crystal nodded and said "Mhm darlin'." She waited for him to finish, then turned to Rue. The barmaid seemed to wait patiently for her turn, the same hint of concern still present in her changing expressions.

It was clear that the barmaid had no real clue what was going on, being from the dungeon and all. Crystal turned back to Gabriel. "Let me get you a drink" she said, scurrying to the kitchen again. There were sounds of a door opening. Crystal returned with an old glass bottle of something. A label was put on the front, but it seemed to have long been faded. The liquid inside the long bottle was clear and still, sealed in with a cork.

"Take this" Crystal handed the bottle to Gabriel. "S'all I can do for you for now, since yer all in a hurry an' all. It's a cask of a special drink. Usually we brew it ourselves, but daddy actually found this one back when he was an adventurer. I snuck a sip of it once- best thing you'll ever taste, and it made me feel unstoppable. Safe to say, daddy caught me pretty soon."

Compensating for his lost gainz, the elf went straight for the boss in retaliation and revenge. "You're paying for that! With interest!" Wrasslin swore. He didn't care to take any sort of pose- he was too self-conscious that others would think less of him for the sudden drop of muscle. Still, he flexed, jumping towards the boss and attempting a strike with both his hands at the boss's neck.

I bet it's the same guy too.

If you want, I can throw up a character and we could have a rematch.

Crystal stared at Rue, perplexed by the thought that people actually wanted to travel through the dungeon. She had lived there her entire life and she still didn't like it much. She took it that the lot was a group of adventurers like her mother and father were. "Uh huh..." she paused a bit, still looking a little confused. The barmaid reached to the back, grabbing a mug and leaning over the counter to a keg and filling the mug. She drank a bit of it then put it back down on the counter.

She leaned back and put her hand on her chin. "Hm..." she thought. "There's this one lil' door at the far end of the village. It's open slightly and if you shine a light through it, there seems to be some kind a rope hanging there. If you've got someone strong enough, you might be able to pry the door open and climb down the rope to the lower floors" she said. "Think the Laughing Scorpion could be strong enough? He did beat my daddy, and he ain't no light weight."

"Hm?" the barmaid turned to Rue. "I was born here." she said. If it was any indicator, she did actually look quite pale, even when compared to her father- as if she had never seen real sunlight. "Yep. Daddy came here and was one o' them adventuring types. But then he had me and had to settle down here. I take it you guys ain't from 'round these parts?"

As the crowds dispersed after the betting spree, people went back to their every day lives. People seemed to avoid the tavern, stepping over the chef's body. Some people even left the tavern, but high-fived Gabriel on the way out. The tavern was then left empty with Crystal leaning on the counter with a line of mugs behind her, waiting for people to come in.

"...what" Wrasslin collapsed onto the floor in a beautiful centerfold position. He could feel the strength painfully being sapped from his body. All the hard work of his mentor seemed to have been going away, as if his years of training were all moot. No. His mentor taught him better. Wrasslin struggled under the new weight of his body from his lost strength, rolling over then picking himself back up, dusting off his body.

The elf coughed, weakly pointing at the new enemy as he escaped. "You're not getting away!" Wrasslin flexed his quads then sprinted toward the boss.
