101 Zareth II : Dungeon: The Forbidden Caves Of Stone & Lava (1/2)

At first I had to wonder if it was just the fact that this old dwarf crowd wolf that pissed people off, however I had to rethink that particularly stream of though when it turns out that the annoyance of a man wouldn't shut up. For someone who had lost his son or had a family in danger, he was pretty jovial about it, especially the part when he started talking about the weather and how it seemed to have affected black smiting this year.

Thankfully for me, the plaza was just five minutes away from the exit of the town, and the entrance to the forbidden caves was 20 minutes away on foot. It was half an hour of irritation and me wondering it would not be better for me to hustle put an arrow in his head and go to sleep once I was dome with that. At the very least I would have been free from this torture.

Diggle as he says his name is, led me towards the volcano that at this moment was still spewing ash and lava, however it's entire body was dotted with lush and verdant trees that I had to wonder how it wad that these plants could survive under the extreme heat of the volcano, they seemed quite valuable to me.

(SPRING FIRE FIG/GRADE: EARTH/ TYPE: HEALING PANACEA: a variety of spring fig that has been nourished by the sacred flames of a volcanic mountain. This fruit is capable of healing the worst possible cases of burns, however it would be stupid to directly inject it without properly processing it as lava still runs through it.)

There were more of such plants dotting the landscape, and I was tempted to happily harvest every single one I laid my eyes on. However almost every tree in front of me, had a severe amount of corpses that have achieved various degrees of burns, from a guy running past me screaming with his hands on fire, an elf that was desiccated every last form of moisture in it's body evaporated, to charge black, bleach bones and finally ash. Every plant on this fucking volcanic island is practically unattainable, and trying to get them means you want to cook yourself.

If that's the case I'm totally cool with not touching anything around me, I'm quite happy not paying attention to earth grade plants that could make me even more rich than I currently am. Thankfully we got to our destination before greed would have completely taken a hold of me.

On the side of the volcanic mountain that seemed to have the mildest effect of heat, flame and ash, a temple of sorts was built into it. Or rather the remains of a temple, as pillars and stars stretched upwards and led to the opening of several caves. The pillars and the stairs were the only sign of modern architecture, all of the caves that I could see seems to be formed naturally, but I'm geologist, so I can't exactly be sure. After getting confirmation from Diggle that this was indeed the entrance to the dungeon, I began making my way upwards, pulling sky from my in the process.

(YOU HAVE DISVOVERED SINGLE PLAYER DUNGEON: THE FORBIDDEN CAVES OF STONE AND LAVA/ GRADE: MORTAL/EARTH)

This was annoying, from the look of it, this was a dungeon who's difficulty was stuck somewhere between the mortal and earth grade, and the last time I went into an earth grade dungeon, I came back with a race of Nereids and was almost killed by a giant crocodile. Let's just hope this is not as bad as before because that's special feeling I always get when I know I'm about to get into trouble, was ringing really loudly.

I left Diggle behind as I stepped forwards into the cave, immediately a curtain of light rose up behind me and blocked the entrance into the cave. There was no way back only forward, which means I have to either clear the dungeon or die for me to complete this. This was more in like with what dungeons in games were supposed to be, but either way let's get this done.
