"So, what do we want?"Ben pondered Suzette's question as he poured the last of the dark beer from the earthen ware pitcher into his mug, "I think I'm wanting more beer.

Your brewing is getting better.""I accept your compliment about my skills.

But seriously, what are our goals? It's fun to talk about options and new classes, but these are big decisions.

We've got the better part of five years left on the contract with ACME.

I'd love to be able to pay that down quicker.

Are we going to just keep working here in Sedgewick? Try to do some adventuring? Make money some other way without Billy taking the lion's share?"They were all silent, and then Rolly spoke, "Well, Squirmie and I want to go on some adventures.

But we can start with little ones like exploring dungeons.

I'm going to start looking around a lot while I round up sedgebeasts.""I had enough adventure on my little trip.

I've got a lot of work to do here with my pit, keeping up with the orders and helping Suzy in the bar, but I wouldn't mind doing some dungeon diving on days off." Ozzy turned to Suzette, "Any rules preventing us from sneaking in on our day off or late night?"Suzette pointed to the milk jug of 'spare change.' "Dungeons make money.

I think we should do just that.

I'll explain to Billy that we are doing 'clean up' of trash mobs to keep the dungeon under control.

We go in carefully, make a little cash, and get some practice in.

As we've found out, we don't have the best set of skills for adventuring.""But we are getting much better," Ben brought up a screen in his notebook and began writing out some points.

"Thanks to ACME's manipulation of classes, we each have a narrow set of things we can do, but we also have a much larger amount of health, stamina, and mana.

Rolly and I have some limited healing, and Suzette can make us healing potions.

Ozzy can take quite a bit of damage and doesn't need a weapon to kill things.

Suzette has her cantrips and darts.

Rolly adds a good chunk of DPS, and I suspect Squirmie will make a nice addition to the group.""Yeah, Squirmie will be great in dungeons, won't you Squirmie?" The butterfly was laying on his back, wings spread and legs in the air.

He and Rolly had grabbed a 'snack' of sedgebeast before coming upstairs and the butterfly had eaten as much as he could of the mana-infused meat.

Rolly patted his fat tummy.<...yes, we will conquer dungeons.

All will fall before our might...>"Did your pet just talk, Rolly?" Ozzy had assumed that Rolly had simply tamed some large bug.<Did the large nestmate just talk, Rolly? You've trained him well.

Usually, the large ones just grunt a lot.>Suzette rolled her eyes.

"Yep, he talks.

Getting him to stay quiet is the problem."<Shush, two-legs, I'm not so full that I can't eat your lungs.>Ben began talking again, "Moving right along then.

It looks like we are all in favor of a little dungeon diving, saving up some money, and gaining some new skills.

Which leads into some talk about tier two.

I have some options for different classes, and so does Ozzy.

Have you gotten a notification yet, Suzette?""Nope.

I've been learning a lot, but I think I need some more adventuring to finish off tier 1.

How about you, Rolly?"Rolly was scratching the butterfly under its chin.

The bug was making a sound like a small chainsaw.

"Yeah, Squirmie and I got the notification, but he needs some time to get a bit bigger, so I'm holding off.

But I got some neat choices.

Take a look."
