When the gigantic plant was defeated, Barger gained 3 levels, and with those levels, he gained a new skill. He loved the feeling one got when a new skill was realized, a feeling of enlightenment sort of bubbles up from inside you.
"There's a shrine that the plant seemed particularily defensive of." Barger said, pointing it out. "I suggest we go there."
They walked over to the shrine. All plant growth seemed to retreat from around the base of it, except for the remnants of the monster they had just killed. Perhaps there was something there that prevented the plants from growing. They got within a few feet of the shrine, then the ground crumbled beneath them, leaving them to a long drop.
Barger twisted in the air, landing on his feet. Something desperately wanted to keep them from the shrine. He stood. It was dark and damp down here. Some sort of cavern. He tried climbing the walls again, but they were just too slick. He was determined to get into the shrine now, it had become a matter of pride.
"Looks like we'll have to find some other way out." He said to the others.
They walked for a little while longer. It was a veritable maze in here! There was no sign of an exit and they had run into many a dead end. This way was getting them nowhere. Barger stopped for a second to ponder what to do next.
