As the last of the zombies were eliminated, the storms were disabled, and silence fell over the depression where the Spellblades were camped. With a mixture of relief and exhaustion, the mages collapsed to the ground, while Ophelia and Dana came over to join Karl and Tessa.
"Sleeping early was a good call. The other mages look horrible." Ophelia joked.
"I'm not sure if you've noticed, but we have been in combat for nearly two hours, miss 'I don't have ranged attack skills'." Dana replied.
The berserker snorted in amusement. "I'm not getting zombie blood in my fur if I can avoid it. Didn't I come around with water for everyone?"
Rae laughed in Karl's mind at that comment. She had been in the centre of the camp, firing stones at the zombies the entire time for the exact same reason.
It wasn't easy to be a furry lady surrounded by zombies. She was just thankful that the area was full of mages who were happy to use fire to get rid of all of the leftover bodies and viscera.
[There are no more zombies around. Are the Danas all recovered yet, or do we need to guard them?] Hawk asked, distracting Karl.
[The Spellblades are recovering, but they have enough Commanders who are fit to watch over the camp that you can return and sleep until the sun comes up at the very least.] [I'm on my way back. Tell Rae not to slack, since she's the only one who can see anything coming in the dark if I'm asleep.]
Hawk was definitely cranky about being awakened in the middle of the night. The moon was half full in the sky, and there were no clouds, so even the humans could see a little in this light.
Karl paused there. He had forgotten that he was one of the humans again. Perhaps if he thought about them as their classes, it would help. Mages and clerics had more trouble seeing in the dark than he did. Yes, that was better.
Prince Corbin took notes of the situation as the team began to relax, and then got back to his original line of questions.
"You said that you had been in the dungeon. Did you complete it? What sort of rewards did it give?" He asked. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Karl realized that he had never even checked, and now he had to search through his inventory boxes to find what might have come from the dungeon, and separate it from what had certainly been there already.
There were some Commander Rank armour pieces, nothing special. Some decent Ascended Rank armour, and then a small golden chest.
That was unexpected.
"There were some coins, some armour, and a golden box." Karl replied with a shrug.
Tessa turned to him. "A golden box full of what? Did you even examine it, much less open it?"
Karl shrugged, and Tessa rolled her eyes at him. In the dim light of the camp, backlit only by the cooking fire that Lotus was tending, it was easy enough to ignore the fact that she was exasperated by his lack of interest in the rewards of the dungeon.
Karl checked the box, a bit embarrassed that it had slipped his mind.
[First Dungeon Completion Random Reward]
"It's a random reward. I don't know what is in the box." He explained.
