HDL tells the sentinel his best dog joke, and asks for help with the web. The sentinel angrily rattles his bones in response. He takes a swing at HDL, but by the time his sword would have cut into munches flesh Peach has already dragged HDL further down the hallway...
The hallway seems to have a natural branch to the right, but both going forwards and turning is blocked by a stoic behemoth, nearly three times your size. It's entirely still, but you can still hear...breathing? Its single eye tracks you, daring you to attack.
The sentinel takes up the rear, blocking off escape. Combat is inevitable.
The party gains 40EXP and 10GP! Peridot/Steven/Fluff level up!

Peridot kneels down, and picks up a few of the glass shards. For a structure of that size, it's surprising how small all the shards are, and how few there actually are. The largest one is about three centimeters wide. The majority of it is just yellow tainted glass dust. It must have just been a thin glass layer on a hollow interior. Huh.
The party levels up. Fluffleads to the party to the stoplight red colored obelisk. The most efficient path of which, being first backwards. The party heads in that direction.
...
Yep, it's the same as before. The fish seem to have calmed down, luckily. The jellyfish above you seem to have grown in number, though...
Just so you know, I'm very active on the site anymore like I was before; I'm mainly on Discord now.
Oh yeah! Steven and Peridot should have new abilities now. Remind me to find out what they're supposed to be and tell you on IRC later.
Yell at Peridot and Steven for not splitting up, then lunge angrily at the monument.
Tell Fluff that I really don't wanna get lost, and that it'd be easier for us to take down each obelisk if we attack them together.
Also go whichever way takes us closer to the red one I guess because I still don't know quite where I am tbh
Officially a Mega Man addict. Major thanks to Giga and Erik557 for the layout.
"I've already made the mistake of taking on the creatures of this dungeon alone once. It wasn't pretty. Besides, I don't remember a plan to split up, and we're not near the obelisk yet. This place is obviously getting to you."
Peridot continues towards the red monument shaped blob in the fog, by heading to the left for a short while before turning right to head to the monument as soon as possible.
"Judging by my robonoid's scan, there should be a storage cache behind that obelisk. Once the area is clear, we should open it."
Peach heals both HDL and herself for 3HP. HDL tri noms the construct again for 4 & 4 & 4 damage. The construct takes an additional 3 damage of bad math.
Enemy Turn
Thunder Construct pulls his arm back and punches Peach for 3 damage. She resists the stun. Sentinel swings his sword at Peach for 3 damage.
It's another incredibly wide open area. In front of you you see another monolith, crudely sticking out of the ground. It strongly pulses between opaque and transparent, glowing a glaring crimson color. It feels a little more...charged than the last one. It's already spawned you a greeting party, too. How quaint.
