The Crimson Arena: Temple Adventure X

Group (5/5)

...

After you create your team everyone takes a small amount of time to meet each other and talk before you head out towards the new dungeon. You have to move through some dangerous areas in the world to get to it but your group holds up strong and after slaying only the minimum amount of monsters your group finally arrives. The dungeon turns out to be a giant stone brick temple in the swamp with vegetation growing from its cracks and water seeping over parts of it. It is surrounded by the twisted branches of the swamp and crows cackle nearby giving it an ominous feel to it.

Your group approaches and finds the entrance, a large stone set of double doors with strange carvings across them. With just a simple push the doors crack and rattle and open up into the depths of the dungeon. Your group steps into the starting room and the doors close with a slow ominous crunch behind you.

The group consists of Sephiria, the leader and very skilled ninja. Her good friend Kesha, a very well known and accomplished rogue. Ayaka, a powerful mercenary barbarian hired for the occasion. Hinata, a well liked and effective priest that felt she owed Sephiria one. And lastly Mai, a powerful and lethal tank recruited from the streets. Remember, you are not actually a character but an observer that dictates what the characters do via big picture decisions.

All five of the women stand in the starting room, a large rectangle stone room made of brick stone with bits of vines and vegetation running through the cracks with the ominous plunk of water dripping somewhere in the background. It is lit with several torches flickering ominous along the walls with one small stone block in the middle. The large double door entrance is at the south end of the room which the group came through, it is now closed and surprisingly locked. At the north sides of the eastern and western long walls are arched entryways that lead further into the temple. At the north wall is a large dominate double stone door with reinforced metal bracing.

A voice speaks out a few moments later, dark and mysterious. "Welcome to the Crimson Temple, version X. I regret to inform you that you have been mislead, this patch and dungeon were not designed by the game developers but instead put into the game by outside hackers." The group is immediately startled and start getting excited but they all quiet as Sephiria shushes them when the voice continues once more. "This dungeon is unique as indicated by the version 'X'. You will be unable to log out while inside the dungeon and unable to leave until the dungeon is completed."

Everyone in the group quickly pulls out their menu screens and find in horror that their log out buttons are indeed gone. "The instant the doors closed behind you messages have been sent to your real life addresses, your real bodies will be taken cared of. But rest assured, the programing will not let your mind leave until you have finished this dungeon." While a normal group would be worried, your group simply has hard faces all around excepting their fate. You picked the best and they are all acting as such.

"On a final note, welcome once more to the Crimson Temple Dungeon. More than monsters await you during the challenges ahead. You will discover quickly that this dungeon attacks you in more... unorthodox methods. And one last note, do not die in this dungeon. If you die here, you will die in the real world. Good luck, adventurers."

The voice goes away and the only noise to be heard is the same ominous dripping in the background, the torches flickering, and your party shifting nervously at the news. Finally Sephiria takes charge once more, jumping up on the single stone block in the middle of the room. The other four adventures gather around her. "I don't know what kind of game these hackers are playing, but I don't intend to let them get us that easily." There is a murmur of agreement. "We are going to do what we came here to do, nothing has changed. We are getting through this temple. And without wiping. We have a very capable group, and while it may be difficult as long as we stick together nothing will get in our way."

"Now, before we start. We will have a general play for the standard situation or obstacle. Mai will be our backbone as our tank. Mai, it will be your job to survive and to take on whatever this place throws at us. Hinata, your main purpose here is to keep Mai going. Focus on her. The rest of us will call out for healing if we need it. And lastly, Ayaka, you are support for the main group. Work with those two and assist wherever needed. You are their eyes and you are their teeth. Don't let them get taken off guard and handle the situations they can't simply heal through."

"Myself and Kesha will be separate from the main group. I have worked with Kesha many times, we know each other like the back of our hands. The two of us are swift so while the three of you will be taking the bulk of any encounter the two of us will be either accomplishing objectives or fulfilling a dps role. Does everyone understand?" There are nods from everyone and Sephiria nods back in respect. "Good. Stick together in your teams and we will get through this. Now," She says confidently, turning towards the north end of the room, "Let's see what this place has in store."

Your group moves forward then, smaller groups forming. Ayaka and Mai walk side by side with weapons out with Hinata a few feet behind and ready for action. Sephiria and Kesha join up slightly to the left and the groups peer down the two hallways and inspect the large reinforced double doors. The west hallway turns out to be small and narrow about five feet across. It spans about fifty feet absolutely covered in vines making the terrain considered rugged. There are three recesses on the south side as well as a turn a the very end heading northwards. It is lit with torches crackling mostly smothered by the vines. It looks like the perfect place for a trap.

The east hallway is larger at ten feet wide with a taller arch and goes a good one hundred feet that is well lit by regularly spaced torches. Between the torches are strange colored paintings along the wall. The hallway ends at a somewhat large circular room where the ceiling raised above current vision with a giant stone statue of a minotaur hefting a halberd over his shoulder unmoving in the center. There don't appear to be any other exits from the room.

The large reinforced door is heavy and strong and unable to be opened by a group with normal strength. It has two massive handles on either door.
