Chapter 7 (1/2)

One of the items he obtained in the bag was a map, and after touching it, the map option in his menu screen became selectable. Inside, there was a general outline of the dungeon, which was simply called “The Underground Jungle”.

Ultimately, what he saw made Randidly’s heart sink. The dungeon he was in was simply too big. He was situated in the safe room halfway across the southern wall. It was equidistant from the entrance and the boss room.

...But that distance appeared to be something near 20 miles….

More disturbingly, while the bosses chambers appeared to be in the Southeastern Corner, the entrance was in the Northwestern corner, meaning Randidly would need to cross through at least some portion of the forest in order to get there.

Sighing, Randidly dismissed the menu. He had a long way to go before having any confidence in crossing the forest… Randidly  looked at his stats one more time before laying down for a nap.

After careful consideration, Randidly found himself sneaking back over towards the Howler Monkey area.There were two reasons for this trip. One was to stop by the nut, banana, and weird crystal trees and stock up on more food, and the other…

Was to actually engage the Howler Monkeys.

Well, hopefully to lure one away, and then bind it with Entangling roots, and then… something.

The more Randidly thought about it, the worse the idea seemed, but he also knew that grinding was done for the explicit purpose of going out after and getting some actual experience. He needed to be able to use his skills.

Additionally, the Howler Monkeys had only been scary within the treeline. Outside of it, they were slow enough that even a Randidly without all of his skills and stats was only slightly slower. He was now confident that his 13 Agility would be enough to outrun them.
