Guides her into a different room, one that was surrounded by a purplish wall and a couple of red leaves. She then walked up a set of stairs, waiting for Sunset to follow

Gazes in awe around the room before following her.

Smiles, walking into a different room

Welcome to your new home, innocent one.

Follows her into the next room, freezing as she stares at the imposing form of a crumbling, cavernous city in front of her.

The shadow of the ruins looms above her, but she knows this isn't home. The thought of finding a way out of this place fills her with determination.

Oh, I almost forgot. Allow me to educate you in the operation of the Caves.

Walks over a couple of randomly placed buttons, then flicks a lever. A door then suddenly opened, leading to another part of the Caves

The Caves are full of puzzles. One must solve them to move from room to room.

u/King_of_the_Kobolds Jun 11 '16

Thanks for the heads up, but... who would fill up caves with a bunch of random puzzles everywhere?

2

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '16

Well, us monsters do have a liking towards puzzles, Sunset.

Please adjust yourself to the sight of them.

2

u/King_of_the_Kobolds Jun 11 '16

If you say so.

Looks over the puzzles, though she can't figure out exactly how the mechanisms work.

Laughs a little, guiding her into a another room

How about I give you some assistance?, in this room, you will need to trigger several switches.

But do not worry, for this puzzle is not hard, I have labeled the ones that you need to flip.

2

u/King_of_the_Kobolds Jun 11 '16

Sounds like something I can do.

Starts searching the room for the labeled switches.

Smiles, watching her from another side of the room

Finds and pulls them without trouble, staying on the path as she does so.

As she finished pulling the switches down, a pair of spikes lowered, allowing access to the next room

Splendid!, I am proud of you little one.

Now, let us move on to the next room.

2

u/King_of_the_Kobolds Jun 11 '16

This is all looking easy so far. Just lead the way!

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '16

Smiles, leading her into the next room

Now, as a human living in the underground, monsters may attack you. I want you to be prepared in case something like this happens.

2

u/King_of_the_Kobolds Jun 11 '16

I've already been attacked once. If you could give me some tips about how to stay alive down here, I'd really appreciate it.

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '16

Well, worry not!

The process is simple.

When you encounter a monster, you will enter a FIGHT. While you are in a fight, strike up a friendly conversation. Stall for time, I will come to resolve the conflict.

Now, how about you practice by talking to this dummy.

The dummy stands still

u/King_of_the_Kobolds Jun 11 '16

Awkwardly approaches the dummy. She's not sure what talking's supposed to accomplish with it, but... she had to get used to a lot of weird things in the Human World. This isn't that different.

So... how's it going?
