Episode 100 With Guests Kloss and Marlon Hue - Leg Wrestling, NFTs & MrBeast
Surrounded on all sides, the heroes know they need to act quickly. Scooping the unconscious woman up onto his shoulder, the warrior hero prepared to make a break for it through the crowd of orcs. They watch him, waiting for him to make his move. Blood dripping from her wounds, the woman remained motionless in the grasp of the strong hero.
To their side, the swordsman hero slowly drew his two blades. Preparing to clear a path for his allies, he studied the crowd and created a path in his mind. He would have to work quickly to take out the orcs blocking their way, while making sure to keep the others safe. He readied himself, aware that the beholder above would attack the instant they moved.
The Jester, standing a bit off to the side, grinned as always. He flipped his mandolin upside down, as though he would swing it like an axe. The body of his instrument appeared to have been crafted from the body of a small beholder itself, reflecting the twisted nature of its owner. He held it in his left hand, and with his right began to cast a spell.
As one, the heroes made their moves. The swordsman hero lunged forward and swung his blade through the first orc he could reach, fire coursing through his magical blade. With his second swing, his electrically enchanted sword slashed through a line of orcs before they could react.
The Jester waved his hand, covered in a green shimmer. He cast his spell, raising the defeated orcs from their demise. Their eyes glowing green, the quickly stood and turned to their former comrades. Unsure of what was happening, the orcs did not attack. When they realized what had happened, it was too late. The turned creatures attacked the living, tearing them apart piece by piece.
The warrior hero, with the woman over his shoulder, charged in behind the swordsman hero. He carried his mace in one hand, swinging it at any enemies that dared approach. He would fight as hard as he could, but worried about whether he could protect the woman on his shoulder.
Overhead, the massive beholder watched on, eyes twitching from one individual to another. Its tentacles slithering across the ceiling, the orcs payed it nearly no mind as it watched them silently from above. The heroes however, were well aware of what was to come. As silently as it stuck to the ceiling, its tentacles darted down and grabbed at the orcs. Some were crushed instantly, others were snagged and lifted back up into the monster's waiting maw. It snapped its snake-like appendages around the battlefield, picking off the unsuspecting denizens below.
The heroes avoided the tentacles, while fighting their way through the crowd. Claws scraping at his arms and face, the swordsman hero motioned for the Jester to make his move. As he did, the Jester reacted immediately and threw a blue ball of energy to the opposite side of the cavern. It stuck to the wall, serving as simply a sphere of light to help locate the exit.
As the warrior hero fought on, an orc swung its claw at his face, cutting open his forehead. Blood oozed down into his left eye, making it hard for him to see. He fought on, unaware that an orc had flanked around him and was preparing an attack. As it lunged, he never noticed as an arrow struck it in the neck, killing it instantly.
As he finished killing an orc in front of him, he turned and noticed the freshly killed corpse with an arrow in its neck. he looked into the direction it had seemed to come from, and saw two figures standing near their blue orb of light. Not only had the orb served as a means of finding their way out, but as a way for their allies to find them. That being said, the raucous and explosive combat would likely have helped them along the way.
Standing at the edge of the cavern was their old friend Kloss. he rushed in with his spear, preparing to clear out the path for the heroes from the outside. With him was Marlon Hue, who fired arrows from an elevated stone at the edge of the cavern. The arrows rained down upon the orcs, taking them out without them ever knowing what had happened.
With the arrival of their allies, the heroes felt that the tide of the battle was finally turning in their favor. Before they could celebrate, they continued fighting through the hoard to safety. As they did, they noticed the creeping tentacles of the beholder drawing ever closer. They would have to kill it before leaving, or it would bring the tunnels down onto them.
