Draconic Online - Chapter 9

Silver and Eric decided to wait for the others to respawn. After a hour Ashton, and Sofia ran back to their bodies from the graveyard and respawned where they died.

“Hmph, that dumb Goblin dares to kill me!” Ashton immediately began complaining. “Well at least i’m sure that the monster dropped me something good” Ashton looked confidently over towards Eric.

Eric went over towards Sofia handing her the shield that was dropped. Then walked over to Ashton rummaged through his bag for a moment, before finally taking out 80 Silver and handed him it.

“….” Ashton understood that nothing dropped for him and was silenced.

“Okay lets move on to boss number two!” Eric said rather excited to kill a second boss.

The Gargoyle Chief’s waypoint was adjacent to the Goblin’s field. After equipping the dropped items the party moved east towards the Gargoyle’s location. After walking for just a few minutes the party arrived at the edge of the Goblin’s territory. Once they broke through the treeline they saw a rather large Gothic style castle at the location of the waypoint. The party approached the castle gate.

<5 Player Instance Dungeon: Gargoyle’s Castle: Please Select Difficulty.>

– Normal (Highest Grade Monster: Elite), Cooldown: 12 Hour

– Elite (Highest Grade Monster: Boss). Cooldown: 24 Hours [First Clear Available]

– Locked (Highest Grade Monster: Unknown) Cooldown: Unknown

The party was rather shocked, this was the first instance Dungeon that the Banana guild had found. “Looks like we no longer need to worry much about our guild members leveling speed being affected due to over saturated areas.” Banana’s requirements were not very strict in accepting players, although they had elite members they were in the minority. A majority of their players were only slightly better then average. This being the case areas where the majority of Banana Guild members leveled were quite crowded. When Banana returned he planned to create parties in order to run this dungeon.

“Should we go right into dominating the Elite dungeon, or first obliterate the Normal to get used to the dungeon?”Ashton asked clearly still worried from his earlier death.

Silver who was party leader immediately choose to enter the Dungeon on Elite difficulty. the large castle gate opened. Eric gave a wry smile, and decided to lead the party into the dungeon.

When the party walked in they arrived at the castles courtyard. Silver quickly scouted the area, but did not find anything amiss. They slowly made their way towards the main area of the castle. When they reached a new door Silver attempted to open it. Just when Silver’s hand touched the door he quickly activated and retreated.

“Bang!” A large stone fell from the balcony of the castle, Due to Silver’s instincts he was able to narrowly avoid being crushed. From now on they would have to be more careful of such traps,

When Silver went to open the door a second time nothing was triggered, and the party was able to enter a rather large hallway.

After walking through through the hall for a few seconds, a pair of two gargoyles turned the corner.

Elite Level 5

HP 180/180

….

Both Gargoyles were identical, Sofia quickly activated preparing for battle. The Gargoyles charged forward in an aggressive fashion.

The Gargoyles were not to challenging for the party of four. They had high defense, and decent hp, but their attacks were not high enough to pressure Sophia, especially with Silver’s insane damage, but a change suddenly occurred when the first Gargoyles HP finally hit zero.

“Boom!” The Gargoyle exploded sending sharp shrapnel in all directions, even Silver was unprepared; causing him to get hit multiple times. Luckily the explosion was not lethal, and after carefully finishing off the second Gargoyle with a ranged they took a break in order to heal.

From the Gargoyles they picked up an Uncommon body armor, and some silver coins. The body armor went to Ashton since the attributes best fit him. They then split the remaining coins before continuing through the hall of the dungeon.

When the party reached the end of the hallway they walked into a rather large guest hall. The hall was filled with a large amount of Gargoyles.

Most were common rank mobs, but at the end of the large guest hall there were six elite level Gargoyles. With the multitude of Gargoyles in the room charging would be suicide. Lead by Sofia, the group decided to clear out the Gargoyles one group at a time.

They slowly made their way through the Guest Hall. It took the group about fifteen minutes to clear out all the common rank Gargoyles.

When Silver attempted to bait two elite Gargoyles of the group of six, the result was tragic. All Six Elite Gargoyles started moving towards Silver. Sophia would stand no chance against tanking 6 different elite Gargoyle’s even with Ashton’s heals.

Silver realizing the emergency situation, decided to take command of the situation. “Sophia, use taunt on only three of the Gargoyles I’ll take on two, Eric will take one. Ashton only heal me and Eric in emergency situations, so you don’t take aggro.”

Taunt: Cast Time: Instant, Generate a large amount of aggression to all Hostile enemies within 15 feet.

Cooldown: 2 Minutes

Sophia Expertly placed herself within 15 feet of only three of the Gargoyles and used gaining the aggro of three Elite Gargoyles. Eric also took one Gargoyle away from Silver.

Silver now only being chased by two Elite Gargoyles used , followed up by two attacking the closest Gargoyle. The Gargoyle instantly lost 40% of it’s HP. Silver then activated Frenzy, and Speed of wind instantly increasing his move speed by 30% to 183!.

With such speed the two Gargoyles would only hit Silver one of every three times. Silver seemed like a phantom, he ran circles around the Gargoyles hitting each of them five or six times for every single time that he was hit. In just the ten seconds that Frenzy was activated Silver finished off a Gargoyle while critically wounding the other. The Gargoyle he killed exploded, but Silver used the second Gargoyle as a shield, before retreating away and finishing the second gargoyle off with a .

Silver knowing they were not out of danger yet assisted Eric in fishing off his Gargoyle, before regrouping with Sophia who was keeping the other three at bay. In just about two minutes the six elite Gargoyles were killed!

With six elites drops would not be bad. After collecting all the loot they were left with:

– 1 Gold 40 Silver

– 2 Uncommon Items

– A Skill Book

Unfortunately both Uncommon items were for classes not included in the party, one was a monster taming staff, While the other was a Shield for paladins. Eric offered Silver all the gold if he could take the two items, and give them to other guild members. Silver of course accepted, he would of just ended up selling the items anyways.

Finally the Skill Book

Smokescreen, Cast Time: .62.s (Attack Speed*1.2), Drop a smoke bomb confusing the Enemy

-Instantly enter when activated.

– A cloud of Smoke appears for 5 seconds, any damage dealt to enemies within the cloud of smoke deals 10% bonus damage.

Everyone in the party had no complaints of Silver taking the Skill Book. Silver immediately learnt the Skill Book giving him yet another powerful weapon in combat.

The party moved towards the next room and finally entered the Main Hall of the castle. Within the hall was a giant 12 feet tall stone Gargoyle, looking extremely intimidating.
