A bedraggled party of noobs!

You cannot believe your luck, the party coming down the hall read as 2nd to 3rd level adventurers, except their leader who is 5th level and there are only four of them! They seem to be made up of the classic 4 person team: Fighter in the lead, Rogue behind him, Sorceress in the middle, and Priest bringing up the rear! Oh happy day that they put the person best able to fight undead at the back of the group, and he is one of the 2nd level ones!

You hold up a hand in a silent signal to wait, and your brethren reluctantly obey.

As the party comes towards you, you listen to their chatter, conveying their presence for the whole dungeon to hear as if they were some 50th level hotshot who didn't have to CARE that he was drawing every monster in the whole area to him like sharks to blood.

"Come on Trad, let's turn back! We lost two people already, one more micro-boss and we are dead!" The female human rogue, 'Jenna 07734', states. clearly spooked by the haunting music and sounds of far off beasts that pervade the dungeon, sounds you don't even consciously register any more unless they are forcibly brought to mind.

"No Jenna." 'Trad the Bold', the fighter and party leader, race indeterminate under his bronze armor, states, not even turning to look. "The game guide says this is a suitable dungeon crawl for a 2nd level party with a 5th level leader, and I intend to WIN this thing!"

~He's listening to the game guide?!?~ You think, still holding up your hand for the pack to wait. ~That book has been out of date since 3 expansions ago!~ You snicker silently.

"Can't we at least camp out and get health and mana back?" Jenna pleads.

"Look, Jenna, we get it, you took a nasty beating from that zombie giant at the end of the first level and are low on health, but we agreed that we would take a break once we got to a safe room on level 2, and the next micro-boss is in the first safe room: just stay behind the rest of us and snipe with your throwing daggers, it will be fine. Since we are in this zone the monsters wont re-spawn for a few hours, and we left a clear trail for Max and Vera to follow. They will catch up before you know it." The party's Priest, 'Conrad of Gilded-Holt', says with a barely repressed growl. His clothes and gear mark him as a worshiper of Chitros, god of uncontrolled magic, which is a rare patron for a Priest to have, but made sense given that their arcane caster was a sorceress.

"I just hope this micro-boss isn't the Glass Golem, I don't have any spells that would be effective against it." The sorceress, one 'Winifred Clarkson', states, looking all around her like a much more experienced adventurer than her 3rd level status indicates her to be.

~Probably a second account.~ You think in annoyance. It is against the TOU to have multiple accounts, but a lot of people do it anyway, leading to 'Heroes' that are 2nd or 3rd level but fight with the canniness of people of 50th level. Still, they also often have trouble readjusting to being so weak, and you might be able to turn that to your advantage.

They are just now coming into detection range, where they, holding aloft flickering torches and you hiding in a dark recess, would be able to spot you and the others, and you make yourself perfectly motionless...
