As the group approached the dungeon they started running into a fair number of different types of monsters. They were all fairly weak for the most part around the low fifties but every now and then a stronger one around level seventy would show up.

Ajax’s initial reaction to the floor was negative but that quickly changed as he looked towards the look on the elves' faces.

Without a large caravan the group's travel speed increased considerably, not only that but with them not making stops at every city and taking a much more direct route it also meant that their usual training time was cut down and adapted to be practiced inside the carriage as much as possible.
