Excerpt From Episode Episode 13 - Coming Tuesday!
The Wondercolts were bushwhacking through the deep jungle on Floor 37. They were on a hunting quest. They had to find and kill a rare, venomous snake: the Dandarabilla Cobra. They needed the poison for a quest so that it could be made into an anti-venom mix to save a life. The snake was extremely aggressive from the reports.
They had a set of anti poison crystals, but it was still a big risk. Argo had provided them the best information on the quest, for her standard fee. That information didn’t minimize the danger much. The correct snake was black, but it shimmered with rainbows if the light hit it right. The other black snakes didn’t shimmer and while they were poisonous and aggressive, they were not the right kind of poison.
“I just wish we didn’t have to kill them,” Doombunny said to Bladescape. They had fanned out to try and find the elusive snakes. Doombunny had been paired with Bladescape.
“I know Doom, but how else are we going to get the poison?”
“Umm…well…I don’t know. I just hate kill quests. I know they are just monsters programmed that way, but most of them are actually kind of cute.”
“Cute?” Bladescape chuckled. “Only you would think some of these monsters are cute.”
Bladescape sighed and leaned against a tree. She was tired of searching the damp leaves and underbrush of the jungle for something that was designed to hide in their terrain.
“Doombunny, I know how you feel. You are still Fluttershy in your core, which is good. But we have to kill the beasts to get stronger. Its the only way to survive.”
“I know,” Doombunny said looking more like the meek Fluttershy than Fluttershy usually looked. “But I still hate it. I can’t help but feel sorry at the end of the day. Or in the morning. And anytime we take a break.”
Bladescape chuckled with love. Doombunny was getting stronger and going tit for tat for levels against any of the other Wondercolts, but she still was herself in the good ways. When Bladescape could find her, she often was feeding the virtual birds or playing with the odd butterfly. Her hide skill was high enough that they could almost lose track of her sitting at the table with them if she activated it.
