What do you come upon first?
An Abandoned Forge...
The five of you stalk though the streets of the town, dodging around groups of 'heroes' still high on health and mana and the occasional group of Elvin Raiders, or their magically altered beasts. The fighting seems to be thickest at the entrances to town, so for the moment you steer clear of those parts of the zone. You are wandering in the north quarter (The town is laid out on a 45° rotated grid, main streets running NE/SW or NW/SE.) when you come upon a blacksmith's shop which has several adventurer's corpses in it and no living occupants that you can see.
Several minor bits of treasure lie overlooked in corners, and a few cheap but still serviceable weapons and pieces of armor hang on the sales racks, begging to be 'looted', but you all pause a moment, thinking the same thought: ~How long have these adventurers been dead and how soon will they come back: freshly refilled on health and mana from a re-spawn?~
Do you brave the risk of looting the shop?
You come into being as a low-level monster, the kind heroes chew through like popcorn. You know the drill, whether you're a player yourself or an artificial intelligence, and you're sick of it. You set out on your own quest: to defeat the heroes at any cost (or at least be an epic boss somewhere down the line).
