By the time that they all woke up the next morning and went to the dining hall for breakfast, news of the change to the Dungeon had spread through the Clan like wildfire.
"Wait, you all went there last night, right?
How hard is it? The group that went just after we got the news says that it’s totally impossible, and they didn’t even make it to the first boss." A Battlemage class Clan member asked as Karl led the group in.
"I didn’t think it was that bad. It gets harder with each of the bosses that you kill, but if you do it the other way around, and start with the strongest, the difficulty actually goes down a little as you progress.
If you start with the weakest first, the final bosses would be absolutely nuts." Karl agreed.
"So, you guys got through more than one boss? Was that before it changed? Did you know that it changed?
The dungeon is making everyone fight groups of lesser bosses to get to the actual boss. They said that in the five pulls they managed, they got the rewards as if they had fought fifteen actual bosses." The Battlemage demanded.
Karl nodded. "We got through the Wrath Demons after the dungeon difficulty was increased.
Like I said, it’s not easy, but it’s not impossible with the right group.
We have a huge amount of healing in our team, with multiple druids, clerics and a Shaman. That made all the difference, along with a Mana Pylon to keep everyone fighting."
The man looked relieved. "That is wonderful news. I know the Mana Pylon spell, so it shouldn’t be too hard if we get some extra healers."
"Bring Golems too. The Golems are essential." Swag added.
"Oh, good point. Definitely bring Golems. Three bosses per pull is just cruelty to a single tank. If you can’t get durable enough golems, just bring multiple tanks." Karl suggested.
"Noted. I think that we will be fine. Are you going to try to go again today? I heard that some of the Sects still suspect that New Home was responsible for the change in the Dungeon." The Battlemage replied.
"We had considered it. The loot was so good last time that it would be a shame not to do it again."
The mage nodded. "It should be fine. You did manage to get multiple bosses down, but if you split the group to go with multiple other groups this time, it might be less suspicious.
Someone might recognize your existing group."
Then, someone finally noticed the obvious.
"I hate to break up a planning session, but what the hell? How did the Moron suddenly make it to Ascended?"
Swag puffed up his chest. "Have I not been telling everyone? All I had to do was have faith, and the Gods would deliver. I might have overestimated my progression rate, but my faith paid off.
I was given a Divine Opportunity, and I took it."
The whole dining hall was so shocked that nobody could find a proper response for that.
Without context, it was a perfectly reasonable response. Many Immortals advanced because they found a Divine Opportunity and seized it before anyone else could.
