In front of the portal was a massive goblin. It didn't look like a goblin anymore, but more like an orc or something.
The creature had a massive club, two heads, and was fat as fuck. William and Matthew ducked behind a tree, seeing the beast from afar.
"That's the creature protecting the gate that I talked to you about," Matthew said, "it's not that strong, so we can go there and kill it."
Matthew was anxious to finish everything and move to the next floor. He had been on the same floor for quite a while, so he wanted to leave.
He got up, but William grabbed him by the arm. "Wait," he whispered, "there are others here, waiting for dumb people to fight the boss."
William heard from Matthew that some adventurers liked to wait near the portal to steal and even kill the people fighting against the boss.
So, with that information in mind, he paid attention the moment they got there just to be certain the area was safe. It was not.
