Meet Len -
Len is a former thief, he now gathers stuff for a wizard named "Oli". Oli(short for Oliver) saved Len's life,
Len got caught stealing from the a noble and before he lost his head, Oli stepped in and said he would take Len as a life-time servant(as punishment),
he promised Len would never commit another crime.
Oli is a well respected person and is owed many favors by the nobility, for this reason they agree to allow this request to go through.
It has been two months since then and Oli has endless tasks for Len.
Len is intelligent, but he is also petty and hates the idea of doing hard work for a little bit of coin.
Oli promises Len that he will have many great chances to find great treasures, it maybe risky, but it won't be a lot work for a few coins.
Time To get To Work -
Len looks towards the cave entrance, it is mid-day and wet, it showers down rain softly, Len is sick of getting wet so he walks through the some grass and wet dirt to enter the cave.
As he steps into the dark cave he takes off his backpack, from it he pulls out a torch, he finds a dry place to lay the torch down and then he gets out his flint & steel,
with the flint & steel held over the torch, a few sparks later the torch is lit and Len is now walking further into the cave.
Entering Into The Unknown -
Other than some drops of water falling form the sealing to the cave floor, Len does not hear anything else.
After a few minutes of walking Len starts to smell something foul, a foul smell he has never smelled before, it is very unpleasant.
The smell is getting more harsh the further Len walks, suddenly a new sound is heard, Len stops right away.
It is as if something was taking a wet slime covered hand and running it along the wall, he could hear this further into the cave.
Getting Ready For The Worse -
With his free hand Lens draws a sword from his side, during this he can still hear the noise as it seems to be getting closer.
He holds the torch out with his eyes focused on what is ahead of him, suddenly he sees a shadow, it seems large.
Not knowing what this thing is and what it might do, without waiting to see what happens Len rushes towards the shadow ready to attack.
The Fight Starts -
He sees what looks like a massive worm, he sees no eyes, but what he does see is a opening at the front of this creature,
it is like a mouth with tiny tentacles coming from it, the tentacles move as the opening opens wider,
while this happens Len rushes swinging his sword at this monster.
From the opening spits some liquid, Len avoids the liquid and cuts down the creature body, leaving a slice down its body to the back tip.
Len looks and notices the liquid the creature spit out is causing the ground to smoke, as if the ground was burning.
A Job Well Done -
The body of the creature burst open and it falls from the wall is seemed to be sticking to.
Len calmly takes out a leather sack from his back pack, from that sack he takes out tools to pick up the body of the creature,
he wraps it up in some cloth, after that he takes out two vials that were wrapped up in the leather sack, he collects some of the slime left by the creatures body exploding.
"I think that is all he wanted, he was right, he said the creature would be near the entrance on a rainy day. So camping here for two days was not a dumb move.
Time to get out of this disgusting place and go collect my gold".·····HHfVLZJy
