As the the surge of psionic power left Jason's body, guilt already clung tightly to his heart, and Mama Slime's heart wrenching scream made him feel all the worse. A few slimy drops leaked from his membrane as he coldly watched Asura rush to their mother's side. It appeared there was a shred of humanity within that maniac; which for a moment, made Jason hesitant- as he began to doubt his conviction, beginning to whisper a prayer in repentance for what he'd done. A prayer not to any boisterous god that sought only to toy with the lives of those they saw as lesser, but to the spirits that truly cared for the world, and more importantly, the life upon it. "Spirits of the earth, forgive me-" Before he could get farther, Asura finally showed what he truly was-- a real bona fide monster. A man that had either rejected his humanity, or had none to begin with.

In a split second, Jason was once again absolute in his conviction to end Asura here, before his evil could mar this world further. Unfortunately, life seemed to have other plans...

CONNECTION FAILING DUE TO NO MP. PREPARING TO OVERRIDE ORDERS...

Dungeon:Jason

Quickly, Jason popped two mana crystals, bringing himself back to half mana, as he quickly turned tail to run, issuing a command to his other subordinates to follow suit as he ran from Asura. "ALL UNITS, RETREAT TO THE CORE AND RECUPERATE!" Quickly shapeshifting into the same tire-like form he'd tried just a few moments ago. However, despite Jason's best efforts, Asura was gaining on him, and in desperation Jason summoned the skill menu, nearly slowing to a stop as it popped up, giving the red slime an opening to strike. As Asura's mighty blow laid into the slime mage, Jason instinctively pulled off the ground and activated Bounce I, sending him flying over to a spot near where the goblins' campfire once burnt. Grunting in pain as he immediatly shifted back into tire form, speeding away from his foe, hugging the 'right' wall of the dungeon (when looking in from the entrance). Keeping his focus on the ground before him, Jason watched carefully for anything that might slow him down, he knew he couldn't fight Asura, all he could do at the moment was run.

As Mama Slime sent Jason soaring through the air, the dungeon boss grunted in frustration as he watched that fucking idiot Asura continue to attack his men, completely ignoring a warning that was VERY clear. Did that bastard not care at all what the consequences of his actions would be? He and that self-righteous zealot Ardur were DESTROYING SOULS, meaning no rest, no afterlife, only eternal suffering as they were devoured by the core. It. Was. SICK.

Trying to keep his body as rigid as possible with [Limited Shapeshift I]; holding his body into a semi-sloppy cube (to reduce further bouncing), Jason managed to stop himself from continuing to bounce away. Quickly forming back into a ball, he raced back toward the fight as fast as he could-- small pseudopod ridges taking shape along the outside to increase Jason's traction, (hopefully) increasing his speed further. It seemed that despite his best efforts, Asura's absurd level of confidence in his 'omniscience' made such an attempt impossible to pull off.

Very well, Asura had brought this upon himself.

As he barreled toward the fight, Jason knew he had to end this quickly; as Ardur would likely be back soon with full mana. With Ed and Asteria seemingly hesitant to take part in such a fight, he needed to end this quickly. Using [War Cry II] and [Spell Chant I] together, Jason intended to use his 'warchant' to attack Asura's biggest vulnerability-- to show him, that ACTIONS. HAD. CONSEQUENCES. "LET THE PILLARS OF THY MIND QUAKE-- AS MY WILL CRUMBLES AWAY IT'S VERY FOUNDATION!!! WITH YOUR FINAL MOMENTS AT HAND, FACE MY MIGHT AND BE NO MORE! MIND WAVE--PSIONIC DESTRUCTION!!!!"

With a heavy heart, Jason loosed his [Mind Wave I] at the very slime that brought him into this strange new world; Asura's largest vulnerability, Mother Slime. It was time that Asura understood the actions had consequences, and if she needed to die in order to teach him that-- so be it. Though he hadn't wanted it to come to this, Asura's campaign of indiscriminate slaughter had forced Jason's hand.

Sometimes, sacrifices needed to be made in the name of the greater good.

Of course Asura had to think he knew everything.  Honestly, the fact that Y'tahl had fallen so quickly with neither of the two aggressors considering the consequences of killing the innocent skeleblin that sought only to faithfully defend his home from invasion. However, the skeleblins' skills with wielding weapons they'd just acquired was rather impressive... Perhaps it had to do with their 'deactivated' skills? Regardless, Leonidas took half a step back; ready to pour all of his weight into his thrust.  Oddly enough, it was almost a moment deja vous, similar to the stance and thrust taken by the female goblin of 'brawny team' as she activated [Skewer]...  Was that what Leonidas was on the verge of doing? Despite Jason's rabid curiosity, it was clear Asura intended to counterattack, and it was unlikely the skeleblins would be able to survive the upcoming onslaught of attacks the other slime would likely follow up with. "Leonidas! Gawain! Get out of his attack range! Focus only on dodging and defense!"  he called to his remaining soldiers as he summoned a [Rock Spire I] in front of Asura,  aimed not to pierce his gelatinous form, but to block his attempted attack.

However before he could continue his attempt to get his 'brother' to better understand the situation, Jason was suddenly on a collision course with Mama Slime!  Quickly compressing his body as he popped a mana crystal (bringing his somewhat low mana back to full) moments before they crashed into each other using [Limited Shapeshift I], Jason hurriedly spat out a chant; aiming to complete it as quickly as he could, as he launched himself into the air, "Let this son of stone take flight! Stone Shot--LEVITATION!!!" he cried, using his entire body as ammunition for the changed [Stone Shot II], attempting to 'fly' over the massive blue slime.  If he successfully vaulted Mama Slime, Jason would continue closing the distance to Asura since Asteria had already taken care of Ardur rather efficiently for the time being.

COMMAND INVALID. DUNGEON CANNOT REGISTER A MID-BOSS AT CURRENT LEVEL.

DIRE_RAT_A WAS KILLED BY ADULT_DIRE_RAT_123! REGISTER ADULT_DIRE_RAT_123 AS AN INTRUDER?

Dungeon:Jason

Jason sighed, why did things have to be so difficult? "No, do not register ADULT_DIRE_RAT_123 as an intruder..." he grumbled as he sped along.

“If we encounter an ex-human, let’s try to resolve this situation peacefully, alright?” Asteria chimed in as she easily caught up to Jason, If they’re an ex-human, maybe they’ll just agree to a non-aggression pact if nothing else.

'If it is indeed one of our fellow reincarnators, I don't intend to settle the matter violently.' Jason responded to his Second in Command with [Telepathy II] as he continued to push the limits of his speed, 'However, in the event that they refuse to back down, more... Pysical, methods of persuasion, but by no means do I intend at all to outright kill them.... However, Mourningstar; whom already made an attempt on my life, is a different story... By the way, your speed is rather impressive Asteria, keep up the good work.'

Though Jason wasn't far from the entrance, he had a sinking feeling in his 'gut' that shit was about to hit the proverbial fan. It was clear he might not get there in time to stop the Skeleblins from attacking the intruder. The intruder that was shooting Fireballs into his dungeon. His dungeon, that the Skeleblins protected. What was this idiot thinking--because there were only a handful of creatures Jason knew could create a Fireball, and to him they were all probably idiots. They almost deserved to get attacked by the Skeleblins. After all, he was working so hard on this dungeon, trying to fix it, trying to make it better, and what did he get for his efforts? How dare they do this to him? How dare they BETRAY him? This...this...intruder! Intruder! Intruder!

NO! Jason roared in his mind. Those WEREN'T his thoughts, those were the 'thoughts'; if they could be called that-, of the dungeon. It was HIS decision as to who counted as an intruder and who didn't. HE was the BOSS of the DUNGEON-- not the other way around. Come to think of it, if Crispy WAS indeed attacking the dungeon, he'd have an entire retinue of goblins backing him up, no doubt endowed with more developed equipment made outside the cave. Therefore, Jason needed reinforcements of his own, and so he called them; "ALL NEARBY UNITS, MOBILIZE AND HEAD TO THE DUNGEON ENTRANCE!!!" the Boss slime roared as loudly as he could without slowing down. Hopefully, there would be some assimilated mobs close enough to hear Jason's rallying cry.

Even pushing himself past his limit, Jason STILL wasn't fast enough... He wanted- No, he NEEDED more speed. He HAD to go F A S T. Then it hit him; a revelation caused by one of his rocky outcroppings striking the dirt. His variance, had changed him, both in, and out. He wasnt just a slime, he was a living part of the very element he wielded. I am stone. Stone is me. he thought, I am stone. Stone is me. I am stone. Stone is me. I am stone. Stone is me. I am stone. Stone is me. I. A M. S T O N E. S T O N E. I S. M E. and so, Jason cast [Stone Shot II], using himself; his whole self, as the projectile. Not to soar through the air, but to use that same magical force that propelled his first magical attack to drive himself faster.

Though he wasn't able to arrive fast enough to stop the engagement from starting, Jason made it on scene just in time to see Asura lash out at his soldiers. "ASURA, DON'T ATTACK THEM, THEY WORK FOR ME!" Jason exclaimed with a mighty [Warcry II] aimed to grab the attention of his 'brother' as he continued to close the distance. (this is when he's in warcry's effective range)

As [Warcry I] ticked over into [Warcry II], a smile crept across Jason's face; if his math was correct, he only needed to rank up three more skills to reach level 7. He was so close.... He could almost FEEL it.  As he estimated [Bounce] was nearing rank I, whereas [Meditate], [Mana Orb], and [Shield] were already halfway done.  However, just as Jason began his meditation; actively pulling the surrounding mana into himself, life decided to fuck with him yet again, as a glaringly bright [Fireball] tickled his dormant sense of sight, and sent him a rather irritating notification.

WARNING! AN INTRUDER HAS ENTERED THE DUNGEON! AN INTRUDER HAS ATTACKED!

Dungeon:Jason

Fucking great.

With a sigh, Jason's senses snapped back to active duty, just in time to see  Dire_Rat_A charge aggressively at Asteria and Mama Rat.  Quickly coiling himself like a viper using [Limited Shapeshift I]  before launching himself between the two parties.  Lashing out to tightly grab onto the scruff of Dire_Rat_A's neck with a psuedopod, Jason scolded his new subordinate as he held them back, "Dire_Rat_A! Stand down-- and that's an order! These two are not enemies!" he growled like one might do when training an aggressive dog, as he gestured to Asteria and Mama Rat, "Anything these two do has my DIRECT approval and is always in the dungeon's best interest... In fact, from now on you can consider Asteria as the Mid-Boss of this dungeon."
 
(In the event he fails to grab Dire_Rat_A, just assume Jason continues to block its path until successfully telling it off... And yes, if it tries to go around him, Jason will move to block its path.)

Releasing the poor, confused animal, Jason grumbled angrily as he approached the remainder of the stash, absorbing four crystals to bring him to full MP, and stowing the other three within himself for later.  Snatching four healing herbs from his garden, Jason approached Danny and Asteria, "Well, since some asshole has decided to start tossing fireballs in here, we need to go make  sure they dont kill off our entire dungeon defense force... Danny, find Ed and bring him to meet us at the dungeon entrance.  Asteria, you and mama rat should stick with me, I'm not sure if the dungeon still sees you as a threat, so I may need to manually tell off the assimilated mobs.  Now let's go! There's no time to waste!"

Using [Limited Shapeshift I] to curl into a ball, Jason raced as fast as he could to the entrance.  Pushing himself harder than ever before to close the gap.  Hopefully, he'd get there in time to stop a fight that would likely end in the invading party's favor.... Why the fuck couldnt the core accept one more clause in those goddamn orders? That was a real kicker, but it was too late now... Now he had to fix it.

Though somewhat annoyed that the Skeleblins had failed to carry out his orders, actually being able to see a full display of everything under his control, as well as a co-ordinate map of the entire cave was an incredible boon. Perhaps the most interesting of all was the Dungeon_Stats, showing not only the progress of the dungeon to level 2 and how it may be further progressed, but that a hidden boss resided within the cave. Jason had little doubt that the hidden boss was Undine, the animated sword that had popped up on the initial menu when first accessing the Dungeon interface. Quickly rolling out of his tunnel to catch the three Skeleblins before they could wander off, Jason issued them new orders once again, "Skeleblin_003! Your new designation is Leonidas! Now, Leonidas, Gawain, Y'tahl-- I have a task for you three, somewhere near coordinate H-10, there should be a large, flat, rock covering three goblin corpses. Near this rock, should be a club, and two spears. Gawain, you equip the club, Y'tahl, you equip the [Badly-Made Stone Spear], and Leonidas, you equip the other spear. Once that is done, return here to me. In the event that you cannot find any of the items, return here to me. Now go! There isn't much time!" hopefully, this time the three skeleblins would be able to execute the order. At this point, it didn't seem like there was much time left to prepare for the meeting with Crispy, and his two status conditions had yet to end. Frustrated with the lack of progression, Jason summoned his skill window, "Display Skills and Level Progress."

Thankfully, he had managed to get Meditate up to the half way point so far, meaning that it wouldn't take long for him to complete it's development. In that moment, Jason was struck with an idea, maybe, just maybe, by trying to exhaust his stamina before attempting to meditate, he could more effectively grind the skill! Honestly, it was worth a shot. First he lightly bounced his body up, and down, building up more springy power with each small bounce; not enough to make him leave the ground, but enough that it just approached that point. As Jason's bounces reached the point of leaving the ground, he used [Limited Shapeshift I] to compress himself like a spring as he landed on the ground, before launching himself back up as hard as he could, letting a small [Warcry I] as he did so. After five big bounces like this, Jason took it a step further; this time, he compressed himself as much as he could-- and proceeded to compress himself more. He pushed [Limited Shapeshift I] so hard that it hurt, and then used that energy to bounce into the air again letting out a full [Warcry I] with his strained effort. Though it wasn't enough to fully exhaust him, this was as far as Jason was going to take it; as he was beginning to run short for time. Letting himself bounce to a stop, Jason settled himself, and began to meditate, resting in both body and mind as he waited for his companions to finish getting their breakfast.

@Lucius Cypher@Rune_Alchemist

After a long day of training with Ashe and the other militia trainees, nothing came close to the comfort of a hearty meal, accompanied by a good drink or two. So far, the militia had welcomed him with open arms; despite his status as a newcomer to the town. Honestly, having a place to belong felt good, and training alongside equally driven individuals made it even better. Though it didn't have all the comforts of home, nor any family to speak of.... Kael knew that he was going to like it here. Not long after reaching the tavern and redeeming his voucher for meal and drink, enjoying the rather strange music of the turtle man and the company of his peers, something caught the young half-elf's eye. Call it what you will; instinct, intuition, a gut feeling... Like a sixth sense Kael noticed a somewhat familiar looking girl talking to Petr; one of the other trainees he had sparred with earlier when he had been practicing grappling techniques. Though it was hard to pick up on, Kael could tell something was wrong, and that she seemed to be asking Petr for help (which he seemed all to eager to provide).

"I'll be right back guys, save my spot." he said softly to the others as he rose from his seat. Just as Kael was about to make his way over to offer whatever assistance he could, he noticed a rather strange white haired girl with a devil's tail walking out of the tavern. Quizzically he looked the strange girl over, trying to discern her race, but quickly shrugged it off and continued what he was doing (ANALYSIS SUBJECT TO CHANGE, WAITING TO HEAR FROM LUCIUS). Thinking nothing of it, Kael approached Petr and the girl, "That was an excellent bout we had earlier Petr!" Kael chuckled as he gave his fellow trainee a friendly slap on the back, "In fact, I'd say I owe you a drink!" Though it wasn't his main reason for coming over to them, the last thing Kael wanted was to appear as if he meant to 'cock block'; as some might say, his fellow militiaman. Besides that, Petr certainly had been an excellent sparring partner, and deserved a drink regardless. Kael's smile dropped to a neutral expression as he glanced between Petr and the rather well dressed girl he had been talking to, "Is there something wrong? Anything I can help with?"
