Realm of Adventures: The First General


Wysteria: Abandoned castle

The party arrived at an abandoned castle as they prepared to face what was inside.

"Okay, the first general of the Devil King." Kiawe said.

"This is nerve-wrecking." Lillie said.

"That Darkweb Widow wasn't much problem, I'm ready for what's inside." Mallow said.

The party entered the castle where they quickly came face-to-face with enemies.

"Quite the warm welcome." Sophocles said sarcastically.

"Not like we weren't expecting it." Lana said.

"Yeah, and these guys will be good warm-ups for the real boss." Ash said.

"Jet Javelin!" Lana thrust her spear forward to send a sharp jet of water at some Boulders.

"Steelspike Trap!" Martin threw several caltrops on the floor in front of some Kobold Soldiers to hinder their movements.

"Shield Smash, and Firebird Slash!" Kiawe struck a Goblin with his shield and then sent a phoenix-shaped slash at some other ones.

"Freeze!" Lillie blew out a gust of freezing wind from her staff to freeze some Slimes.

"Seed Shooter!" Mallow shot several arrows at some Golems, which then sprouted vines to restrain them.

"Shadow Sneak!" Chris changed into a shadow-like entity and snuck behind a Kobold to strike.

"Spiral Slash!" Ash made a spiral of wind form around his sword as he slashed a Skeleton.

"Shock Slammer!" Sophocles brought down his electrified hammer on a Cave Spider.

Then, the party came under attack by several Dough Globs.

"Are they what I think they are?" Chris asked.

"Yup, they're like Gourmand's dough balls!" Martin said.

"I get the feeling that this isn't the only Gourmand reference we'll see." Ash said.

Ash swung his sword at a Dough Glob, only for it to get stuck to the monster's sticky body.

"Aarrgh! This thing's so sticky! Just like Gourmand's dough balls!" Ash said as he struggled to get his sword off the Dough Glob.

Then, several Dough Globs leaped and stuck onto Ash's body, causing him to take damage.

"Ugh, I can't get them off!" Ash said as he tried to get the Dough Globs off, only to fail due to their stickiness.

"Hold on, Ash!" Lillie said.

"Freeze!" Lillie blew out a gust of freezing wind from her staff to freeze the Dough Globs.

"Thanks, Lillie!" Ash said as he broke free of the frozen Dough Globs.

"Their sticky and amorphous body protects from direct contact attacks." Mallow said as she appraised the Dough Globs.

"Then let's hit them with a non-contact attack!" Lana said.

"Jet Javelin!" Lana thrust her spear forward to send a sharp jet of water at some Dough Globs.

"Firebird Slash!" Kiawe swung his sword to send a phoenix-shaped flame at some Dough Globs.

"Thunder Strike!" Sophocles held up his hammer high into the air, sending out bolts of electricity at some Dough Globs.

"Dark Cross!" Chris sent an X-shaped slash of darkness at the Dough Globs.

"Air Slicer!" Ash swung his sword to send out several spinning saw discs of wind at some Dough Globs.

"Exploding Stars!" Martin threw several shurikens that stuck onto the Dough Globs before exploding.

"Bloom Arrow!" Mallow shot several arrows at some Dough Globs that released flower-shaped outbursts of energy as they hit.

"That's all of them." Mallow said as she took out the last Dough Glob.

"The next floor is right up ahead above those stairs." Chris said, and the party went on their way.

On the next floor, the party came to a large room.

"This must be the boss room. Get ready, everyone." Kiawe said as he got his sword and shield ready.

Then, a giant Dough Glob appeared, but unlike regular Dough Globs, this one was more humanoid, having a face and arms, it was also dressed like a cook, complete with various kitchen utensils; it was the first general of the Devil King, Dough King Gourmand.

"Oh yeah, that's clearly a Gourmand monster!" Chris said.

Dough King Gourmand roared as it got ready to attack and the party scattered.

"Magic Bolt!" Lillie fired a bolt of magic from her scepter at Dough King Gourmand to draw its attention.

"Bloom Arrow!" Mallow fired several arrows to bombard Dough King Gourmand with bloom-shaped energy outbursts.

"Wind Blade!" Ash swung his sword to send out a blade of wind at Dough King Gourmand.

Dough King Gourmand then grabbed lumps of dough from its own body and threw them at the party, hitting Kiawe, Sophocles, and Lillie.

"Kiawe! Sophocles! Lillie!" Ash said.

"Freeze!" Lillie blew out a gust of freezing wind from her staff to freeze the dough, allowing her, Kiawe, and Sophocles to break free.

Then, Dough King Gourmand took out a giant meat tenderizer and a rolling pin.

"Look out! It's attacking!" Chris said.

Kiawe got up front and used his shield to block Dough King Gourmand's attacks.

"Firebird Slash!" Kiawe swung his sword to send a phoenix-shaped flame at Dough King Gourmand.

"Dark Blade!" Chris swung his daggers to send two blades of darkness at Dough King Gourmand.

"Thunder Strike!" Sophocles held up his hammer high into the air, sending out bolts of electricity at Dough King Gourmand.

Then, Dough King Gourmand wrapped its arms around itself as it began charging up energy.

"Everyone, this way quick!" Lillie said, and everyone gathered near her.

Protection!" Lillie formed a magic barrier around herself and her friends.

Then, Dough King Gourmand exploded, sending globs of dough everywhere, but the party was protected by Lillie's Protection.

Then, Dough King Gourmand reformed itself, but its attack sacrificed a great deal of its health.

"It's weakened, now's our chance!" Lana said.

"Jet Javelin!" Lana thrust her spear forward to send a sharp jet of water at Dough King Gourmand.

"Exploding Stars!" Martin Martin threw several shurikens that stuck onto Dough King Gourmand before exploding.

"Ice Needles!" Lillie fired needle-shaped ice darts at Dough King Gourmand.

Dough King Gourmand's HP hit zero and it struggled in place before despawning.

"Alright, we won!" Chris said. "The first general of the Devil King is down!"

Then, a golden key appeared with a message.

"Congratulations, a general of the Devil King's army has been defeated." the message read. "Take this Golden Key as proof of your victory."

Then, the party claimed the Golden Key and celebrated their victory.
