--- Gareth ---
Gareth was not having a good time. Exhaustion was catching up to him, he had no idea what time it was, and the tunnels he was moving through seemed to be constantly funnelling him further down into the ground. Arguably he could just backtrack… but by the time he'd noticed every path lead further down he was hours away from where he'd started. Not to mention the large numbers of monsters he'd killed and the rewards he was getting. It was hard to justify turning around and missing out on all of that.
Of course the rewards were a bit of a mixed bag. He had THREE chests and no keys to speak of. The only reason he didn't have more than that was because he'd decided he didn't have enough space in his bangle and stopped doing any tasks that involved them, choosing instead to move on.
