Chereads / Adventures of sapphire volpus / Chapter 19 - Chapter 17

Chapter 19 - Chapter 17

When sapphire, jack, Sam, pam and Derik all enter the teleporter everything goes white for this lasts for a couple of seconds until colour start appearing that colour is green as trees, grass bushes, and all the other things that would appear in a forest appear, as they now stand in a large forest, there are however no bird or insects making noise.

"So I thought this was meant to be a cave not a forest? But I'm not complaining I like forests. " Pam says joyfully

"We didn't buy a map." Sapphire adds seriously(so I don't need to add that part one constantly she will say thing in a serious manner unless says otherwise.)

"Saph, you bought most of the stuff."

Sapphire does not respond

"We need a formation." Sapphire finally says

Pam says "Bagsy front."

"I got the back" Sam says

"Well saph, I think you should be second next to Pam as you can rank quite well and I will be by sam."

"Ok"

After getting into a line ( sapphire thinks this is stupid) they head forward into this forest dungeon. Walking in the lovely looking forest they don't encounter anything for a good couple minutes until sapphire and jack quitey ask everyone to stop.

"At least one goblin up ahead" jack tells everyone.

"Getting better view" sapphire adds

as she walks toward a nearby tree, gets the claws on her hand out and climbs the tree until she reaches a sturdy branch to hand off.

As she looks to see how menu goblins there are she counts around 20 goblins with a mix of rusty and wooden weapons, some have bows and others have sped or clubs and no armour except for cloth.

Sapphire then drops from the tree and walks back to the group.

"Twenty goblins, armed, 3 bowed everything else swords and clubs, no armour."

"Oh perfect they in a a group, I can just use fire ball to get rid of." Sam then gets cut off

"No fire, we are in a forest." Sapphire say annoyed

"To bad, it's the only magic I got"

"Sam, just use small spells ye, and saph, go to the left and throw knife at them, while me and Pam go head on, sam you do your small fire spells after we charge to try and stop them from running away."

"Fine"

"Understood jack" Pam and Sam say

As jack and Pam jump right in front of the 20 goblins Pam smashes the top of her hammer into the ground and activated a taint skill causing all the gobbling to target her, as all the goblin state her down with a hunger in there eyes.

"SCREEEEE!"

"SCREEEEE!"

"SCREEEEE!"

As a hoard of goblins charge Pam with rusty swords and clubs and in the back the 3 goblins with bow aim, thud, thud as two ice covers daggers hit two of the goblin archers in the side of the skull, the third one see's this and is able to move out the way of the thud ice dagger.

At the same time

As Pam is charged by the 17 goblins "fox fang rush" as jack charged into the hoard taking out 2 goblins, Pam swing her hammer at another goblin, the hammer hitting the ground as it explodes causing burns onto several of the goblins, Pam then swing her hammer sideways crushing a goblins skull and sending it into another one.

Multiple fire bolts is seen burning other goblins alive killing 4, as Sam send out fire bolt he missed another goblin and hit the grass, luckily not catching it on fire.

A 2 goblin are able to run up to Pam, wildly swing the sword and club, pans armour take the hit, only leaving a scrap on the armour as Pam hit the goblin wot the sword with the handle of her hammer knocking it back, jack stabs it soon after and uses his other sword to stab the other goblin in the back.

Sapphire has a goblins skull attacked to her foot, in-paled by her clawed feet as she slams the foot into the ground, getting rid of the final archer, she then picks up her frozen daggers and re freezes them before throwing the 3 daggers toward 3 other goblins hitting then 1 in the head, one in the back and the other in the leg, this allows Sam to attack some more again biting then to death with a fire bolt leaving only 5 of the melee goblins left.

Pam uses her hammer to once again smash one goblin and uses her exploding head to get rid of two more, jack then easily take out the remaining two with no effort.

Jack, sam and Pam all then begin to skin the goblins, getting some f rank monster cores, ears, hearts and eyes as all of those can be sold for money and are needed for there assignment.

Sapphire keeps watch just in case as she stays in the trees.

30 minutes later

"So we got everything we need from these lot?" Jack asks

"Yep" Pam reply's

" guess we head deeper then."

Sapphire then jumps down next to then and follows

"That was pretty easy, we can easily get though this dungeon in an hour or so I bet." Sam says confidently.

"It was easy let keep it up." Jack adds

As they all wander the Forrest for another 30 minutes not encountering anything.

"Saph, do you know if this is normal, it encountering monster like this?"

"Don't know, first time in a dungeon."

"Wait it is? What did you do them to get the money you had?."

" I hunted people mostly, and occasionally hunted monsters."

"Oh."

"Cave up ahead, not a nice smell though." Sapphire says

"Oh nice finally we can fight the boss and get are assignment done." Sam says

" a 10 minute break before we go in."

"Why sapphire we are so close and who made you the leader? Huh." Sam says irritated

Pam "That be nice, I want to eat something."

Sam" fine alright I guess I will stop to eat."

"Soooo, sapphire when you say you hunted people, you mean like bounty hunting right."

Pam asks in between eating.

"I guess."

"Your not very talkative at you, anyway that pretty cool did you hunt anyone strong?"

"No one I couldn't beat."

"Alright, umm anything big."

"Took put a a couple camps and a gang once."

"Nice, I bet you got a lot for getting them right."

"Got an ok amount."

Derik" you lot stay here until I come back ye, can't get paid if you lot die somehow."

"Oh I bet he is taking a massive dump." Sam

"Sam wtf." Pam says discussed

After a couple of minutes Derik come back and they all set of into the cave

The cave has a small opening, with small wooden structures near the entrance that look like badly made watch towers.

Sapphire "Be on the lookout someone could be here."

Sam "Why because the watch towers are empty, they could just be on a break."

"I see both your point, saph why not stay alert for people and Sam do your own thing if you feel like it's safe."

"Guess I'm doing my own thing then."

Inside the cave it's dark but there are some torches within the cave so everyone is able to see, the cave walls are slightly wet to the touch, the smell of the cave is damp from the walls and rotten wood next the the entrance of the cave, from deeper within the cave there seems to be offshoot or forks within it making it into a maze, at and corner and fork sapphire carved an x and arrow pointing in the way they are heading using her nails. If any fork or offshoot become a dead end sapphire scratched the arrow out and leaves the x.

They do encounter a couple of goblins but not in as big of a pack and as easily take them out with no trouble.

Jack "So, do we split up or stay together there seems to be multiple forks here?"

Sapphire "Don't split up don't know when we will encounter the goblin shaman."

Sam Ok, so witch path we going?"

Pam "Oh I know, Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. The middle one."

Jack "Well then the middle it is."

A couple minutes down the middle path within the cave Sapphire has to put on her scarf to stop her smelling what ever is coming from the cave.

Jack "Saph, you good?"

"Ye, don't like the smell."

"There's a smell, I only smell cave, guess you have better sensed apparently."

"Apparently."

"Derik, you got anything useful?" Sapphire asks

" snowfall,I'm just here to observe not interfere."

A couple minutes later

"Stop, somethings ahead." Sapphire says

Sam "Finally."

As Pam slowly goes forward trying to be as quiet as possible she slowly goes round the corner and sees nothing.

"Ummm are you sure sapphire, I don't see anything."

"I'm sure."

Sam shrugs at this and confidently walks toward

"Well I see nothing and there is nothing see."

Sam hold his hands out,only to have his purple ear ring glow.

"Oh shi."

As lightning is shot towards Sam, only to be stopped by a purple mana shield.

"Gu gu, gu gu."

Sam returns fire literally Ashe shoot a fire ball from his staff, lighting the cave up, only to see nothing.

"Great it's invisible what do we do now?" Sam

"I don't know aoe spells maybe, saph what do you think we can do in the mean time?"

Jack looks over to sapphire and sees her hitting and opening up a smoke bomb.

"What are you doing saph."

"Smoke bulbs have a flash in them to assist in getting away, i taking it."

"Why!"

"So I can use the smoke to see where the invisible goblin is and we can hit it."

"We will not be able to see thought."

"Why does that mater you will se the smoke moving in an area we 3 aren't, I am taking bit out to make it weaker anyway."

Jack the watcher her take out a white crystal that she pockets and then thrown some bits onto the ground from the smoke bomb, before reattaching it back together and throwing it.

Smoke soon fill a large amount of the cave, but it's not to thick that they can't see.

At the left side of the cave there is movement within the smoke but no creature.

Sam and sapphire watch shoot magic in that direction, an ice spike and fire bolt, both hitting the creature causing it to scream.

The shaman then shoots out some sort of black bean toward sam and sapphire, jacks purple shield blocks the black beam while sapphire is able to dodge to the right.

Sam "What do we do."

Sapphire slightly annoyed "Hit it until it dies."

Waiting for it to move once more the smoke flows to the right then a dark blast is show towards pam, hitting her in the chest of her plate mail, sending her back a foot or so

"You good pam?"

"Ye, not even a scratch."

Jack then chargers towards were the smoke stopped moving "wild fox slash" as jacks wings his swords on random directions getting a couple of blood splatters, with Pam coming next to him and swinging her hammer downward, only hitting rock.

"Saph, we need another smoke bomb."

Sapphire gets another smoke bomb ready

And pocketing another white crystal.

The smoke fills the room once more as sapphire gets a frozen dagger ready to throw when the smoke moves

"Think I crushed it?"

Pam is then hit by another blast in the back, still leaving nothing on the armour, as the blast hit Pam sapphire throws Ayer frozen dagger as were the blast came from, hitting it somewhere on its body, sapphire then control her ice and has it stsrt freez over a parts of the shamans arm making it easer to deal with.

Because of the ice covering the shoulder Pam, jack and sapphire are able to see we're the shaman is and all rush it, "water bullet barrage" as multiple water bullet hit the invisible shaman, Pam swing her hammer at were the stomach should be, hitting the shaman and sending it toward the wall, were it make a cracked impact in the wall, sapphire follows up by with her ice covers claws and piercing the shaman in the stomach.

Only to be blasted with the black beam sending sapphire back 10 ft away, jack then rushes with both his sword piercing the shaman, killing it.

"Saph you ok?!"

"Ye."

"Ok then, let's skin it and get the reward for completing this dungeon, then head out."

"Derik, you have cure right, apparently that important for this dungeon."

"No I don't but I can introduce you to a mage who does, she should be willing to help out if you pay her for it."

"Ok"

After the skinning

"Ok to the treasure I guess, let's see what we got."

"Ye treasure let goooo!"

As Pam then run into the back of the cave and sees a basic silver chest, she open it and sees, 30 gold, some leather armour and the shamans staff.

"Well I'm going to be holding onto this" as Pam take all of it into her storage bracelet.

Pam arrive back with the others " I got everything, it was 30 gold, some basic leather armour and the goblins staff so it could be used for something."

Jack "Good job Pam, let's head out now."

Half way though the cave

Sam "pam you feeling ok, you look a tiny bit Pale."

"I I'm good. Before she collapses to the ground.
