Bab 84: Key Blueprint

Certain things defined a dungeon, one of them being the Return Stone. Usually, it would drop from the first monster killed or from the first group if the monsters were many. It would allow an adventure to leave the dungeon at any time.

'There was no such thing.'

He destroyed many machines, but there was no such thing as a Return Stone falling from them. It was odd when only a cog appeared from the first machine, but he dismissed it as an anomaly.

'If anomalies repeat themselves, then I don't know the rules. The question is: how do I return?'

He still hasn't finished his quest, which included finding the entity that possessed the dwarf. He looked at the destroyed machine and sighed.

"Who created you lot?"

He suspected the creator of these machines to be the being who possessed the dwarves. Nikolai stood up and decided that he can only go forward.
