Your heart is pounding every time that looming darkness approaches you, you don't have any place to hide and running is pointless when you're so small. There was nothing you can do, nothing to hinder the threat. So you braced yourself, be prepared to face whatever danger that lurks. Despite how useless it is to struggle...
You waited...
And waited...
Waited...
...
-------------------------------
Nothing appeared, no monster or fellow adventurer. Whatever that was is just... Gone? You can't really understand it, so you just brush it off as nothing.
Without hesitating you decide to salvage what you can from those linen and scrap. Sure they're useless now, but thanks to some sharp edge of a broke knife and the strings from a broken bow, you somehow managed to make a makeshift clothing, good enough to protect you from getting hit by any enemies your size. Anybody else is just a simple death wish.
You find a small hole in the dungeon walls, they don't have any pikes or arrows in it so at least you won't die there. So you decided to rest there and planned out what to do next.
Think, you're shrunk in a dungeon. Barely any clothing other than this makeshift scrap armor. You have that piece from a sword you can use as a temporary weapon so at least you have something to defend yourself.
In the guild, you have heard that people experience being caught with the shrink trap and used by the Monster Girls as a sex toys, many died, happily or in terrifying state. But only a few survive,
Apparently the only way to actually return to normal is by using a 'Potion Of Vitality' . A potion commonly made and sold to adventures. You could probably loot some from a dead corpse or if you're lucky from a dead monster.
Question is, where exactly would you find piles of freshly killed corpses lying around here. Sure you've seen some skeletons here and there but they're too old and probably acts as decoration if anything.
That's when it hit you, Monster Rooms. Specially large open areas filled with monster's ti'll the space is maxed out. It's a type of trap that acts as a double edge sword to adventures, yes the loot you got there is amazing, but you can die there 10 folds.
Thankfully, you're too small to be detected by Slime Girls, Kobold, Gnomes or other cavern malice. You just hope they don't detect you via smell or magic. But, all you have to do is sneak and grab a potion. Easy.
At least you thought, as you do happened to to find the Monster House, three Elite Class Monsters seems to appeared, slaughtering the monster and adventurer remnants. Sometimes monster tend to fight each other, this was not a surprise. What is however is this strange monster team made up of a Mind Flayer, a Golem and a... Dear God, is that an Oblex?!
Calm down, calm down. Let's just look at the situation first. Starting with the Mind Flayer. Officially called as Illithids, they're monstrous humanoid aberrations with psionic powers, likes to eat brain's and is magically gifted. Which sucks because she'll just detect you regardless how tiny you are. Her clothes was a mage's robe, blood red in color and terrifying with the skulls on the shoulders and belt. She's spell slinging the adventurers on the back, from fireball to touch of idiosy. Sometimes commanding the other two monsters.
The golem, seems to be made out of an Amazonian corpse. Otherwise how in the world did the Mind Flayer was able to sculpt a Golem with a voluptuous body?! And why?! Obviously for the strength, but... Uh, you can think about that later. For now looking at her skin and what material the golem was made, Adamantine. It's possible for a Mind Flayer to use Adamantine, for a golem though?! Maybe, you've never went outside the usual guild norms so you don't really know these kind of subjects. The golem is destroying the party members' tanks and one hitting an ogre, great.
Then there's the Oblex, lord where do you even begin... This monstrosity definitely belongs to that Mind Flayer, red as blood, with a trillion faces of agony of the victims it's consumed. But it seems to act more like those cavern Slime girls, shaped like one too. All the bodies left slowly dying she ate it in one big gulp, or smother herself. She giggles like some kid sometimes after eating those corpses.
All 3 of them, working in synergy, you'd be scared shitless if you don't have a chance and a plan. Thankfully you have both, as several bodies lies around enough to be reached and hidden far from the Mind Flayer. One body in particular was a tamer's, who tamed beast and monsters, regardless of intelligence. There's a purple lined scroll on his chest, mostly likely to tame this Monster group. It's small and seems light enough to be carried by you and then used on one of the monster,
Trouble is, usually taming scrolls kept the freedom of the monsters. This means that even if you tamed them, the monsters will still react the same way when they encounter someone like you untamed, not kill you thankfully, but they'd still tease and crush you as some sick form of teasing.
You though about taming the Mind Flayer, but it's psionic defenses can failed the taming. So either the Golem and the Oblex has a better chance.
There's also a chest at the edge of the room, neato.
