"Ick!" Velsia screams and tries to brush the disgusting innards off of
her. However, she smiles with pride and looks up at Fred. She'd made her
first kill. At such a low level, even such a lowly beastie such as a slime
gave her fairly impressive experience. Find some more to deal with and
that would be another couple of levels easy. Slimes, in fact, could be
consider the cave system equivalent of city rats. She got her opportunity soon enough. Other slimes made their appearance, first singularly, and then in twos and threes. Since a slight touch of her axe was all that was needed to kill them, she dealt with them easily enough. Her axe, as well as the cave walls and floor were covered in the remains of slimes. She was breathing heavily and Fred was finding it hard to avoid staring at her heaving chest. He slapped himself with a metal gauntlet. There, that was better. Velsia hadn't noticed him staring. "Did you just slap yourself, my liege?" she queried. "Yes I did," he said glibly. "Helps me to concentrate at times." "Oh," was all she could say in reply. They carried on further through the dank and cold caves, the only sounds being their footsteps echoing and the occasional drip of water. Other than the slimes, they could see or hear nothing else. All the slightly more difficult to kill creatures were lying low, at least for the time being. They weren't going to blunder blindly to their deaths. Well, not quite all of them. There was a creature known as a foolhardy spider. Its only attacks were a web that was breakable and which caused no damage, and a bite, but it was only an irritant. This spider lived up to its name by focusing its attack on Fred, allowing Velsia to strike at it several times. It died soon enough.
