A conveniently-placed sign guides our heroes to the next step of their underground adventure. It is not their current objective, however! They entered Avernum to
fight!
Of course, the paved roads are not likely to attract many monsters, and so the party decides to explore further South, in hopes of finding a group of them hiding in the vegetation.
They finally find a group of cave cows. Sadly, they cannot be engaged in battle.
There is, however, a group of Goblins in the corner.
MC leads the way, running towards them as Dimm yells his battle cry, Zink following behind the group, jumping from tree to tree.
Torizo really doesn't care all that much. She could kill them all by herself, and she knows it very well. She decides to adopt a smug smile as she follows Dimm.
Having waited for a fight for so long, the group really doesn't give a shit, and neither does our narrator.
Finally, they enter the combat screen!
Zink, naturally, is the first to attack, thanks to his super fast ninja skills.
His accuracy however is not the best.
It is MC's turn to attack. He whistles loudly, and a
Cave Rat appears to aid him!
He then advances towards the enemy, hoping to slice a few of them, but his turn ends before reaching the Goblins.
Meanwhile, Dimm attacks a foe, and misses gloriously.
Finally, it is Torizo's turn! She smirks, knowing well that she will be killing many enemies before her companions have the time to reach them.
Amongst her wide assortment of spells, she decides to use Ice Lances, useful against this number of enemies.
She deals over 10 damage to each of her five targets.
One of the Goblins tries to escape from MC's range, but the hooded man has better reflexes than the filthy cave-dweller, and finishes it off before it gets away.
A bunch of them run over to attack Dimm. He breathes heavily, sweat drops running down his forehead. "I-it's nothing", he says in a weak voice, struggling to keep his balance.
Zink also wounds a Goblin with his javelin. "Heh." he boasts.
MC deals the fantastical amount of 1 damage.
Fortunately, Torizo is here to save the day! Gasping at Dimm's state, she selects Ice Lances again.
She kills three Goblins in the process.
"Dimm!" she screams.
"Torizo!" he replies.
But it is no time for such romanticism; the Goblins are not eradicated yet.
MC finally starts being helpful. His rat, however, does not.
And Dimm stopped missing his attacks, yielding the astronomical amount of 17 damage to a single target.
The Goblin explodes.
Torizo and the Cave Rat exterminate every but one enemy.
MC runs after it and ends the fight, leaving only the monsters' equipment behind for the team to grab.
The combat got the party between 6 and 8 experience points. 100 of them must be obtained to level up.
Dimm grabs a few Leather Hats, some Iron Daggers (they're like Stone Daggers but without the -1 damage penalty), and a Health Potion. He grunts and shows his pectorals.
MC ends the fight, and the party has completed its first fight. They seem to be off on a great start. But who knows what evil lurks in the shadows of Avernum? The next fight might not be as easy for our heroes. As they feast and celebrate, a hint of doubt spreads in their minds...
Also, I grabbed a dice a while ago. This is what it does. It's not useful at all.
