Looking around themselves the group can't help but be concerned at the multiple fields of dead wheat and vegetables surrounding them. Walking on the dirt trail they continue to be wary as they see the incoming forms of the boss creatures of their group. Tyr steps forward to hear their reports before she walks back to our groups.
"It seems the dungeons entrance is ahead of us past these fields. Spooky says there's some form of barrier that doesn't allow you to enter except at a certain point. Slax followed that barrier and found that the entrance is this road, we keep following it and soon the scenery will change drastically. Inside the dungeon seems to be old Gotyr, green living fields and non broken houses with a random array of the undead and boss creatures." Tyr explains as everybody nods and preps their gear.
"Remember, we can't help you as much until further in. We have to conserve our strengths for the lower floors bosses so that we don't fall. We risk just as much as you do in this hellhole so play it safe and be careful." Tyr says coldly as everybody nods towards her and we all begin trekking along the road until the fields magically go from bleak and lifeless to full of golden wheat and green veggies. The buildings morph from broken stone and rotted wood to worn and well loved homes, doors shut tightly as wind blows gently through the fields.
"This place gives me the creeps..."Mutters Chunk as several others nod in agreement before a gasp is heard from the back of the group. Turning to look at what's going on the group is shocked to find Gung lying on the ground with a spider like creature atop him, the legs made of vines and roots while the thorax is a watermelon. As the creature rolls off of Gung the dwarf takes a deep breathe before standing up and pulling a bolt from the creatures chest.
"That's a dungeon made mob, not sentient, no alive. Like what the gnomes make back home." Spooky says gruffly as Tyr nods in agreement and Slax puts the body in a satchel on his hip, the large creature shrinking and being sucked into the bag easily as the opening closes with a fading glow.
"Be a plant golem I be thinkin'. We be takin' it back, let Kyle eat it and see if we can be using it. But if the plants be mobs, den we have ta be worrying bout the fields." Slax says as he points to either side of the road, and the acre's of fields all growing separate types of crops.
"Be alert, stay close to each other. First floor means these mobs are the weakest and the boss is basic. It's reported that the floor boss is a type of scarecrow golem, with rare sightings of some kind of wolf beast dressed as a sheep as a random boss." Tyr commands as everyone equips their weapons and begins casting buffs as they continue forward.
Moving slowly the first enemies the group encounters are more of the melon spiders, their root and vine bodies dying quickly under magical flames before a new set of creatures slowly tramples their corpses. These strange creatures have the bodies of red peppers, wings vibrating above them as their birdlike bodies dart around the group spitting small fire balls at the party before a lucky blast of water drenches the creatures and they fall to the ground lifeless. Pausing to loot the creatures several cheers are met with more complaints as the loot is nothing but pepper seeds and several of the peppers themselves. Moving past the field the group slowly battles through several more vegetable and fruit golems, cornstalks used as the tails of scorpions as the kernels explode after every thrust, strange horned goats with fur made of spun wheat, Potato moles that spit out a clear alcohol that ignites shortly after landing. Finally arriving at a farmhouse at the end of the road the group look on at the large gate towering over the land behind them, along with the thing frame of a straw bodied man as he walks back and fourth in front of the house, its lifeless eyes tracking several dog sized crows as they feast upon the dead body of a farmer.
"Parameters set by master core! Kill all living resistance. Kill all living non resistance. Protect gates to next floor. Repeat Parameters until destruction." says the straw creature, its voice robotic and monotone as it turns its head towards the group.
"Slax your up. Light him up and gain yourself something shiny." Says Tyr as Slax nods and begins chanting under his breath while Banshee charges the straw man and stabs at him with her forelegs. As the battle begins the straw man lets out a robotic cawing sound, the noise attracting the demonic crows in the field and calling them to its aid as small orbs of darkness shoot from their beaks as they glare with six sets of crimson eyes. Banshee lets out a warble as the orbs impact her body, the pieces tearing off a leg and leaving small crater in her exoskeleton before her master ends his chanting and several wooden statues depicting wingless wide bodied lizards burst from the ground and begin pelting the straw man and his minions with fire.
Watching the body of the straw golem ignite quickly, Slax calmly rides atop Banshee and dodges around the boss creature until it freezes in place and slowly falls apart as a scroll and a corncob pipe lay on the ground.
"Pipe is a summoning item, use it and you get a random golem creature from this floor including a ridiculously small chance at the boss. Skill is a summoning skill, lets you summon one of the Corrupted Crows as a familiar. Congrats Slax you got the perfect thing for yourself." Tyr says as she reads over the loot and hands it to the geckonian, his small smile telling as he pats his mount and looks towards the gate.

'Stupid god messages! the first guardian has failed me but he was a worthless toy to begin with. Lets see if my captain can earn his power! Vasco more sustenance!' screeches the skeletal creature sitting on a broken throne deep under the castle, a rusted and shattered crown on his skull as a sickly green gem sits in his chest, tendrils of black and grey slime pulsing along the stone as the being glares at a screen and smiles.
