Chereads / The Dungeon Necromancer / Chapter 4 - Pay day

Chapter 4 - Pay day

Erebus still in a daze from the glowing orb, slowly starts walking back to the exit of the dungeon. As he now has his sword, his injuries, and him wanting to exchange his crystals. Knowing that troubles still lay ahead on his way to the exit, he takes the quickest, but safest path to the exit.

On his way out he came across 3 more goblins, thankfully he didn't have to go against more than one at a time because if he did he'd surely wouldn't make it out alive. For he was barely able to kill one at a time. His bleeding has gotten worse and his focus is dwindling. After he had killed the last one he is know just a couple of turns to the exit.

As he walked closer to the exit he starts seeing a party ahead of him. The party being weary of Erebus has he is covered in blood and wounds. They tried to just let him pass, but Erebus worried that he would pass out before he could sell his crystals and then buy a healing potion. Erebus stops and asks the party "do you have healing potion? I am willing to trade 1 crystal for a healing potion." both Erebus and the party knew this wasn't a far trade has the healing potions cost way less then a crystal costs, but the party knowing that it was easy money and kinda felt bad for Erebus they made the trade.

Erebus right as he got the potion, drank it. Healing his minor wounds and helping heal parts of his major wounds. The potioned healed enough of his wounds were he wouldn't pass out in the middle of the road, but Erebus still needs to hurry to get help.

Erebus starts walking to the guild building. Trying to ignore everybody's stare of disqust, and their looks of annoyance. The look of annoyance is because Erebus's mother named Jãsmine used to work at a brothel, and ending up getting pregnant. Jasmine didn't know who the father was, and people always shamed her and her son for this reason.

Erebus now at the guilds building he trades 11 goblin crystals for 3 silver and 32 copper pieces each crystal, giving him a total of 36 silver and 52 copper. Erebus then pulls out the bigger crystal with questions as well. Erebus Asks "What type of monster did I fight? It was bigger than a normal goblin, then there was this orb that came out of the corpse, what was that?" and "How much does this big thing give me?" The tender tells Erebus that " The goblin was most likely a Hob-goblin, I don't recall anyone reporting anything about orbs coming our of any Hob-goblin corpses, and lastly Hob-goblin crystals go for 7 silver and 12 copper". "Is there anything I can get you?" the tender asked. Erebus Replied no, but thank you for the information.

Erebus walks out of the building and jumps with joy and yells yippy. Then a sudden lightheartedness happens to Erebus, reminding him he needs to go buy a potion.
