The adventurers watched in amazement as Michael successfully defeated the doppelganger. Murmurs and exclamations filled the hall as they processed what had just happened.
"Did you see that? He just took it down!" one adventurer said, his voice tinged with excitement and disbelief.
"Wait, who fired that bolt?" another asked, turning to see Gaya on the other side of the pond.
"Where did she come from?" someone else wondered aloud, surprised by her sudden appearance.
As they observed, they noticed the water level in the pond slightly decreased following the doppelganger's defeat.
Speaking quietly, Michael noted, "We need to kill more doppelgangers to make the pond completely vapor away."
The group's demeanor shifted from fear to determination, bolstered by Michael's successful strategy. They began to discuss amongst themselves, their voices filled with newfound confidence.
