It doesn't take long to find the bats since they are all just kind of hanging out on the ceiling and doing... bat... stuff... all the running about and screaming aggravates them into flying about the cavern, and a few of the larger ones fly straight for the both of you - suddenly you find yourself being brought into what is becoming a familiar change of scenery but this time the floor is dotted with stalagmites and you are surrounded on all sides by stone walls.

You are now in combat with three bats!

A bat uses buffet on Aria! It flies right up to her face and hits her with its tiny ineffective wings! Scary!
Aria manages to resist getting scared.

It is now Aria and Lilian's turn!

Aria nearly ran away right then and right there when the bat flew up to her and smacked her. But, fortunately, she managed to restrain herself from doing that, and calmed down enough to remember what the Elder had taught her.

She then decided, just for the hell of it, to try to steal from the bats.

"Damn!" Aria cursed. So she had just wasted a turn trying to steal from bats when they can't be mugged? That was sad. But hey, at least she didn't have to try again. So, instead, she ran forward and attempted to stab one of the bats with her butter knife.

[SaintB]

Lilian, assailed by the sudden group of bats, screamed in a high pitch tone. "AAAAHHHHH! Get away!" she yelped. In actuality, she was scared of bats... and spiders... and bugs... and a lot of things. Out of fear, she started flailing her sword about, trying to get the bats away. (She's trying to hit the large ones.)

>Attack

Because they are small and seem to flutter about randomly bats prove to be a difficult target and you swing at air

"Thanks Dad! I'll go there right now! Bye Mom!"
With that, Rigo departs on an epic journey. Going through the hills surrounding the small village, pass the mercantiles and houses, he arrives at the village square. Seeing an elderly man, he runs up to him, stopping a few inches away. This must be the village elder. "Hello, my name is Rigo.

[Grenartia]

"I guess I'll have to see if that bouncer guy will let me in to fill the feeder." Arion said to themself as they walked towards the bouncer. "Hey, this old lady in the Square asked me to fill a bunch of bird feeders for her, and the last one is in that yard, and I was wondering if you could let me in to fill it, and I'll be right out when I'm done." They told said bouncer.

The bouncer shrugs at you.

Bouncer: Nice try kid but I'm not supposed to let anyone in without an invitation and besides kid; you're too young for this party. There's food and music and adult beverages being consumed in there.

"So, um, anybody at the party giving you trouble?" Niall asked, without much idea of what was supposed to be done. Maybe one of the patrons had to be thrown into a dumpster. Then again, Niall was not exacactly of the most clear mind, so maybe he hoped that the bouncer was somehow evil or that the birthday party involved a kidnapped child of hers that she did not know she had that disappeared there and all of the attendents were obtrusive cultists; Niall was never quite clear on how reproduction worked due to a severe lack of interest or whether he would be recreating a good version of "The Wicker Man" or the comedy version.

The bouncer nods to you.

Bouncer: Yeah, this kid here is trying to crash the party. They made up some lame excuse about a birdfeeder but they are too young and there are adult beverages being consumed in there.

He frowns.

Bouncer: Actually wait, maybe you both can do me a favor? All this being a bouncer business is boring and thirsty work and it would certainly be easier with an adult beverage or two. What do you say? Promise you'll snag me a drink and I'll let you in?

"Sure thing." Arion said. "Thanks."

Lilian wanted to scream and run away, but stood her ground. This was a bat, a big scary bat. But it was weak! Look at it, look at it's weak attack. So pitiful. With her new found bravery (found from mocking the enemy), Lilian took another swing at the bat.

He greets you as soon as you get there.

Elder: Hello Rigo! I suppose you want to know why I sent for you? Once a decade I gather all the young men and women that are coming of age and teach them how to fight just in case you ever find yourself in a desperate situation. You might not know this but I was once quite the adventurer and decided it would be important to show young people the basic fundamentals of giving any stray monsters that come by the village a beat down. I heard about your battle with the Infernal cockroach in the warehouse earlier so I presume you can take care of yourself but I thought maybe you would like to learn ALL the basics.

'Stab' is a strong word for what you do to the bat but you did connect with a knife type object so lets go with stab anyway. The bat loses 4 HP! The bat defeated and fades out of existence!

Plunk! What a pitiful bat! You hit it for 5 HP and its all defeated and stuff!

"Yes!" Aria cheers after defeating the bat, before turning her attention to the other ones. Quickly reading her butter knife again, she charges at another one of them.

>Attack

[The Carlisle]

Lilian did a little jig when she defeated the bat. She defeated one of her fears! She turned her attention to the last bat who was already being attacked by Aria. Lilian charged at the bat, raising her weapon for the final blow.

"You know, for the sake of the party, I shall try to do so, though I have to ask that you get a ride home for that reason," Niall stated as the party waited on the other side. He thought that it was suspicous that she was being sent on a fetch quest with such a short distance, and deduced that there were going to be rowdy party-goers who might attack.

"Ahhh! Where did that one come from?" Aria asked, startled, though she quickly tried to calm down and succeeded to some degree. She was an adventurer now, darn it, now was not the time to get scared! With that in mind, she readied her knife attack once more.

The bouncer opens the gate for you and stands aside, the party is now open to you.

Bouncer: Here you go, get me something strawberry flavored if you can please?

Rigo nods his head. "I'm ready for this. How many other kids are there?"

"Okay then. I'll see them eventually I assume", he said, offhandedly. "So, what do I do first?"

Damn bats and their tiny forms being hard to hit! How dare they dodge her attack? And on top of that, it hit her with its wing, again! Aria was by now understandably upset and startled by these things. She tried to focus on once again using her butter knife to bring one of those darn creatures down, but she just couldn't.

"Screw this! Lilian, you handle that one." Aria said to her teammate, cowering behind her tiny butter knife.

>Defend

[The Carlisle]

Lilian looked back to Aria. Her knees were a bit weak. "Okay!" she shouted back to her. She turned her head, facing the bats. "I'll end this... y-you foul creatures!" she shouted. She ran towards one of the bats and jumped. Her sword over her head preparing to land a powerful blow.

Elder: About four or five, I gave lessons to two others today.

Elder: Excellent! Now brace yourself because I am going to engage you in combat and it might be a little disorienting at first.

The village square fades away before your eyes and before you realize you are standing in an open field of grass with a wall of houses surrounding you on all sides. The Elder seems unphased by all this and calmly keeps talking.

Elder: This is where you go when you are fighting something. Many monsters will engage you in combat before you even know they are there and sometimes you can choose to fight someone or something yourself. You might notice that you have six options that you can pick in battle. Attack, Defend, Skill, Item, and Run. Each of these has a different and obvious purpose. Right now I want you to attack me with your Magic Buzzing Wand, don't worry about hurting me I'm tougher than I look and can take it.

Attack HIM? I mean, I know he said he's tougher than he looks, but he is so....old....Oh well, here goes nothing. Rigo charged with his magic buzzing wand.
