7.31 - Water Sorcerer's Core
Of all the dungeons around Broken Tusk, Theo considered the ocean dungeon to be the most dangerous. It had waned in its difficulty, thanks to the watertight tower they had built around it, but the interior was no less offensive. Here are the reports from the scouting party. The interior was a nightmare. An expansive ocean floor spread out as far as the scouts could see. Massive ocean creatures loomed overhead while others that didn’t belong drowned or were crushed by the pressure.
An adventurer had even been injured and forced to use a Potion of Return to avoid death. How they drank it underwater was beyond him.
Theo made his way to the harbor and then out onto the piers that stretched into the bay. As he walked along the paved path, he looked up at the massive towers with a smile. Atop each tower was a rail gun, trained on the sea and prepared to fire on attacking lizard folk. He was happy that the lizards had not come to call, and he doubted they would. At least that was one thing in his favor.
Aarok stood near the entrance to the tower and nodded as Theo approached. "Are you sure this will work?" he asked.
"No, I'm not sure at all if it'll work," Theo said with a shrug. "There are some concerns I have about the vapors in the potion being able to expand, but there's only one way to find out. Do you have somebody who can head inside and check the results for me?"
"That's me!" Tresk said, bursting from the shadows.
"Alright, you little goblin," Theo said, jerking his head towards the entrance to the tower. "Let's head in."
"Oh, I actually have a present for you." Tresk said, taking the steps two at a time. “But I don't actually know if it’ll be useful.
"You never get me presents," Theo said. He continued taking the steps, unsure of what weirdness she had in store for him.
