《Dungeon AI》Chapter 6 - Irontown: part 2/3
Advertisement
Right as I got done talking, a little girl that looked like she was six or seven ran up to us. She then grabbed onto Andrews jacket and started tugging on it to get his attention. Andrew turned to look at the girl and then crouched and smiled, then said "Hi my names Andrew, and what can I help you with today" the little girl smiled and then began speaking rapidly, asking questions "are you a giant. I heard Giants come from the dungeon during the middle of the night to take away bad kids. My dad says they don't do that. He says they just sleep in the dungeon, and nobody's allowed to touch them because they got big guards that are scary. He also said Giants always sleep inside of the artifacts a year not asleep, so did. Are you a giant or did you wake up and walk out?
"Whoa, slow down there. I'm not a giant. I'm just from out of town. You said something about a dungeon, do know where any dungeons are?" The girl got more excited and said"that big metal tower that shoots fire out of it is the dungeon, but if you're from out of town. Does that mean there is Giants that live outside the town?" Andrew started to answer, but Steve cut them off "yeah Andrews a big giant. He just doesn't like to brag about it. You said there were sleeping giants in the dungeon is anybody tried to get them out?" The little girl was jumping in place now and said: "yeah, but that's when the big metal golem shows up and scare everybody off so nobody's gotten a giant out yet, but I gotta go tell my little brother that I met a giant goodbye."
The little girl then turned around and then blew off to the end of the street. No, seriously. She blew off to the end of the street like flying. There was a large gust of air that pushed her forward. Then she landed at the end of the street like nothing happened. A woman came walking up the street next to us and said "sorry about my daughter. She just became a wind mage earlier this month. Unfortunately, the spell she learned was windsprint. Now she keeps running off and talking to strangers and then running away again," the mother continued walking down the street after her daughter. She was also carrying some groceries.
I began to speak "so they call one of our ships a dungeon and apparently it still has some security bots. If what the little girl it said was true" I sighed and continued "okay, here's the plan. Andrew Stephen you're both going to the market to figure out how much things are worth, an idea of how their currency works. You both should have radios in your backpack, Andrew, I gave you a set of 20 throwing knives and ten gold coins. I want you to try and get a good price for the throwing knives, but the gold coins are for emergencies only. We don't know if that's enough gold to buy a kingdom or a sandwich So be careful with it. Steve, I put four folding knives and four decorated daggers in yours. The daggers and knives are also for trade, sell them to see what we can get."

Andrew gives a suggestion. "if they have a dungeon here. They probably have a shop or an adventure's guild right outside of it. You can probably get some good information from them," I then replied with, "good idea, Carol and I will see what buildings are outside the dungeon and see what information we can find. I was going to have Carol, and I go in but now that I know their security bots inside, I don't think that's a good idea right now, at least not until we get better weapons."
Steve then said. "number one rule about D&D don't split the party, but." Steve then stopped talking and stared into space. I tried to ask if he was okay "Steve? Steve? Are you okay you seem like you froze up their man?" Steve then looked back at me and said: "yeah, I just found out I can make a party one second, let me send you all invites."Carol and Andrew both froze up at the same time. Then they moved their hand in front of their face and said they accepted the invites. Steve was now looking confused and then said. "that's weird. I can't seem to send Cray an invite to the party. It keeps saying that he's not a viable party member.
I then spoke "what does the party member thing do anyways," Steve told me the description.
Partying system description: this system allows you to have up to five party members. For each party member, you have you gain 20% more experience. Maximum XP bonus +100% to completing quests or killing monsters. All experience will be equally divided among teammates it will not be duplicated among teammates.

Cray
"that would have been useful for all of us to have, but at least you three have it. anyways, Let's get going."

The Dungeon Calls for a Sage
Archimedes was the ego behind one of the most powerful dungeons ever created. He grew and developed his halls, filling them with powerful monsters and beasts, over the course of thousands of years. He was a grand structure of ten thousand floors which even heroes had failed to defeat. However, an Evil God had come from another world, calling himself the Demon King, and a party of heroes were sent to do battle with it. Through their victory, they obtained enough strength to breeze through Archimedes' dungeon like it was nothing. Forseeing the end of his life, and realizing how pointless his pursuit of power had been, Archimedes destroyed himself, taking the heroes down with him. Still, Archimedes felt despair that he had lived a worthless life as something as pitiful and futile as a dungeon. Sensing his regret and potential, the voice of the world presented Archimedes with the chance to start anew and live a more meaningful life. Thrilled and hopeful for the first time in eons, Archimedes accepted the offer, only to be reborn again as a dungeon core with not a single room or monster to his name. Just what was the meaning of this?! Archimedes couldn't figure out what the voice of the world was thinking. Somehow, he would have to draw a sage into his dungeon to figure it out for him. _______________________ DCS is now a member of the WriTEr's Pledge, which means I have sworn to see it through to a satisfying end.
