Soon Shukie realized that she already had one of the items. Luckily for her, during one of her training sessions in the Crawlers' Nest, she and her party had been killing Exorays, and got an Exoray Mold. I will tell you about them later ^_-.
So, we decided to go get the Bomb Coal in first place. Asking other adventurers, and revising ancient codices in the Cathedral, we worked out that the Bomb Coal was the incandescent remains of an Explosure, a Bomb-type monster. Bombs are, as you know, a peculiar type of fire-based magical beings (that is, arcana), who tend to explode when they get low on health, or when you annoy them enough.
I remember, when i was a little lass, meeting them for the first time in a nightly walk through Ronfaure... sorry, i digress :D
As i was saying, to get the Bomb Coal we needed to destroy Explosures, bombs that can only be found in the... Garlaige Citadel.
Many of you have heard surely horror stories about this place. In the past, still when i started adventuring, Beastmasters used to lure monsters into attacking unsuspecting young adventurers that were training there. But after this practice was outlawed, and the way the magical Charm worked was modified, that ended... only to unveil the Citadel true horror: overcamping!
Yes... 6, 7 or more parties training in areas that could only sustain 3 at best. Both in the Higher and Lower floors. And it is also a very popular place for training amongst the members of the Cult of RMT... i will tell you about them other day... otherwise i would never end with this story :D
So there we go, Shukie and me, with the aid of our friend Songoku, a strong Paladin, and two friends of his. It was the first time i ventured through the First Banishing Gate of the Citadel... a very exciting experience ^_^ there were so many bats... willing to aggro if we let our Sneak spell wear off, hehehe. It wasn't too bad. It took us a little while to find the cave of the Explosures. Since we were enough people not to have any problem with them, i thought i could use Ninja as my support job, and help hitting the Explosures. It took us a while, because apparently the Explosures that day weren't powerful enough to leave their incandescent remains behind them... but we finally got our first item!
We were feeling stronger already!
We thought that breaking our innate limits wasn't going to be so hard...
how naive we were being!...
