Cyborg had used the entrance that Wukong had made, and Adamec had followed him at a safe distance, not eager to risk the scenario of a normal man pitting himself against a demigod. Not that he had expected to see a being like that in his lifetime. Three months ago, he had only been a soldier coming home to his village after five years defending the frontiers of the realm, but he had come home to famine and disease. His journey to the Pit had been one of desperation. The wealth the Contestpromised could feed his family, his neighbors, everyone. As far as he was concerned, the risks he faced were worth the possibility of protecting everything he held near to his heart.

Cyborg, for his part, had full awareness of Adamec behind him, but he did not see the need to kill him at that point in time, as the human did not pose a real threat to him.

Larry and Jen had both gone down the well, though Larry had only managed that feat through Jen helping him every step of the way. The reality of his situation still had yet to reach his brain through the haze of alcohol from the night before (and from the flask he continued to use for sipping). Until then, Jen could at least make use of him as a distraction, and to keep both her hands free by carrying a lantern and a supply of oil.

Matthea and Game Lord had used the same entrance to the dungeon, but they had then gone in opposite directions. She had felt a little regret, but only a little. One did not reach the heights of magecraft by feeling sorrow. One got there by being wary, and her sixth sense told her that danger approached, prompting her to turn quickly as Haganamas emerged from the darkness next to her, one of his swords cutting her across the back of the hand before she raised a barrier to catch his other blade and bounce him backwards into the shadows. For a long moment, silence. Then, nothing.

She had not been the easy prey Haganamas had envisioned, perhaps. He might have hoped to kill her in a single blow. Having not done that, it suited him to fade back into the darkness. As it stood, though, he had injured one of the hands she needed to cast her spells, and compensating for that could cost her in the long run. She cursed under her breath, but ... nothing to be done for it. She had only to press onwards.
