The Player's System

Trap will not work

The team entered the opened gate. The black clouds over their heads seemed glaring them. They never felt that the realistic settings of any gale could create such threat too. It seemed the clouds were alive. They wanted to stop the players however something constrained them. 

"I should not look above." Clark was earlier excited however seeing the dread of the black clouds he comforted. He held his sharp blade ready to tear apart the imaginary ogres. 

As soon as they entered the gate shook closing behind. This was indication that they could not leave this colony without clearing or falling dead. 

"Do they need to make it dramatic?" Albert commented. There was whole new world inside the colony. They were looking agape. The black clouds clogged the light and the colony was dipping in the darkness. 

It was hindering them from figuring out their surroundings. The dark colony was divided in many parts according to the will of the Python. The difficulty levels were put to get rid the intruders. 

They were presently at the outer layers. Here they could only fiddle through their path and the ogres those were securing the shredded skin. The Python knew that its skin was precious and part of the strength. 

It was necessary to secure it so it let the ogres keep hold. The ogres were very diligent. As soon as the thundering clouds informed the arrival of the team members, they secured it in the first seal. 

The ogres were ready to protect the first seal no matter how many they were to face the attacks. "Can you see those flickering eyes?" Junan pointed toward the left side. 

They clearly noticed those eyes. "Staying here and waiting might waste much time. We should follow those ogres." Junan whispered. He noticed that perhaps those ogres were trying to hide something. 

There was nothing else that they could work on or begin the battle so those ogres might bring them to somewhere, thinking this they decided to follow behind. 

The ogres were waiting for this to happen. They readied the first trap. Actually the path was simple however due to the black clouds it was hidden from direct approach.

The ogres set this trap to stray them from reaching the first seal. Junan and others ran behind ogres. They hurried not to miss the tracks of the ogres. In the dim dark and the constant thundering of the clouds they were being distracted. 

The ogres ran in the dark street. They were making noise and shouting so that team members should not stand somewhere and look critically. Jake was at the last running with Ahram. He was slow because of his controls. 

Ahram considered his pace and thought to remain slow as well. At least pair of two was better than alone player. "Thanks buddy. I think we should not miss the surrounding too. I feel something off…" Jake could not complete his sentence. 

Junan shouted and fell in the trap. He shouted to alert others however Orin followed up because he was running side by side. Jake halted his rush. The ogres started to appear. They were hiding around. As soon as Junan fell in the trap they appeared laughing madly. 

Many thorns pricked in his butt. Junan coughed. He was unfortunate that Orin also fell on him. It added misery. Albert, Sashi and Clark were running behind. They immediately stopped. It was due to their active control else they might have jumbled over the team head. 

Ahram saw the situation and understood they were surrounded. The ogres brought them away from the first seal. They were in black statures. It was hardest to filter them from the surrounding darkness. 

Only their flickering eyes were helpful. They did not immediately attack instead spread in the form of the groups. They were separately surrounding them to attack in groups. It would reduce their strength in general. 

Junan got rid many thorns. He cursed Orin twice or thrice. "So this was trap. Get out of the ground and battle." Junan ordered Orin. He leapt like lizard and got out of the ground. It was not deep hole. 

The ground was filled with the dried out leaves and the jumping of the ogres over it created unbalanced sounds. This was also troublesome because the ogres could see the movements of the players. 

"We both could kill as many ogres as we can. My grenades are reserved for this day." Jake noticed the ogres that they were trying to separate all players before starting battle. 

It was possible because the team members were unable to see through darkness. They were literally blindly searching others. It helped ogres to attack. Clark barely saved from the attack. It was aimed at his head. He was sure that if this attack had met the head then he was goner. 

"They are sly. Keep your eyes open and weapons ready." She shouted to inform others. They heard and understood. The signs were already pointing something grim. The preplanned actions of the ogres were there to stop them away from the seal. 

"Wait what if I use grenade and there is some team members battling there." Jake fell in dilemma what to do. The grenade might leave bigger impact. In the darkness Jake could not figure out the right placement of the enemies and team members. 

It was could create problem adding in their current struggle. Jake thought use gun till the time he got some idea to use grenade. The idea struck. He could gather the team members at one place and then the ogres would be in front or in surrounding. 

This was better idea to get rid these cunning ogres. He called Ahram. Ahram was killing an ogre because it attacked him. He wanted to make sure that the young boy should not get in trouble with the ogres. 

It would add in the present situation and Ahram did not want this to happen. He was sincere toward all of the team members.
