Bab 60: Duel of the Fates, Part 2

As realization dawned on me, my eyes widened to the size of saucers.

"Seriously… you've survived a dungeon break before!?"

Okay, my surprise was valid, because, from what I knew of realmsverse history, monster hordes weren't exclusive to dungeon breaks. Sometimes a charismatic being like a vampire noble or greater demon would pop up in some realm and rally monsters to their banner to create a horde big enough to threaten the whole realmsverse. Whenever this happened, the Congress of Realms would call for a 'crusade' to destroy the horde. Such events were rarer than a dungeon break for sure, but a crusade was far more plausible for me as the last one happened less than twenty years ago.

"You're a bright boy, Mr. Wisdom." Mistress Lorelai patted me on the shoulder. "I hope you survive tonight so that you may grow to outshine even the dragoness."
