Chapter 142 by Fiftyfiftyfifty Fiftyfiftyfifty

What do you do?

Another day passes.

After the next sleep, something comes to you. It's the sensation of growing strength.

Kyle Warren
Class: ???
Level: 4

Entangle
Mana Usage: Medium to Major
Description: Unlike many spells, this can be cast with a whisper. It creates a barely visible disc of magic on the ground, approximately five feet in diameter. When it's stepped on by an enemy, vine-like tendrils burst up and restrain them. When more power is put into it, the size of the trap can be doubled.

You levelled up again! Though you still have no idea what class you're supposed to be, it sounds like you've gained a more tactical spell. It uses a decent amount of mana, just like your other offensive spell, but it should prove to be useful. You don't exactly know the details of the magic yet, but you can worry about that in the morning. For now, you sleep.

The next day comes and you're eager to share your newfound power.

Your watch comes, so you awaken before the rest. Eva gets up next, and once again dresses herself, demanding that you look away, though if she just slept in clothing, it wouldn't be an issue.

Finally, the party is conscious. You munch on some of your remaining rations around a morning fire, and discuss. It seems that everybody but Niki has levelled from this adventure. That means all of you are the same now. You're more curious as to what your spell can do, however, so you bring it up, wondering how you can test it.

"So it's like a grapple trap," Niki says. "Maybe you can try it on them."

You turn to where she's looking curiously. In some bushes, though not hidden very well, three demonic-looking green creatures with pointed ears, tiny statures, and sharp teeth, are snarling with spears in their hands--goblins.

There's no time like the present, I guess.

You stand and stretch out a hand and whisper the word, "Entangle". You spot a barely visible energy manifest itself about twenty feet away.

Niki stands and smacks her buckler with her mace. "Come on, pansies! You want to kill us, right?"

They growl and hiss. Then, they start to sprint. It isn't long before the one in the lead trips your trap. Tendrils coloured blue spring up from beneath its feet and wraps around the creature's arms, neck, and body. It holds the creature firmly in place. The two others stop in their track and start yanking on them in a futile attempt to free the third.

"Perfect time for my new spell," Eva says with a smug grin. She runs into combat and thrusts her wand forward. "Take this! Chain Lightning!"

A spark of light illuminates from the crystal at the end of her focus, and then it sparks with electrical currents. A crackling stream of lighting rushes out and towards the three goblins, and then forks. The power arcs between them all, frying the creatures, especially the helpless one in the center. Smoke wafts up as they collapse to the ground, and your tendrils slowly retreat back from whence they came.

"They aren't down yet! The experience is mine!" Niki shouts as she sprints towards them.

Meanwhile you turn to Eva and give her a thumbs-up. "Good one. Just uh, don't use that when we're in melee combat."

"Why not?"

You hear the sound of a mace smacking around a few goblins but ignore it. "What do you mean, why not?"

"It's a good spell, right?"

"You'd fry us too! How did that not come to mind? Just only use it when we're not up there."

"I guess that makes sense."

"Oh my god."

Niki returns and takes a deep breath. "All right. Enemies slain."

"But you need healing, right?" asks Amara.

You rub the side of your head. "Good job, team..."

What do you do?
