The Lightning Adept and the Field Scholar. The Necromancer and the Arcanist. The Magus and the Ice Adept. The Alchemist and the Mage. The Oracle and the Apprentice.

That meant that Merrick was going to have to decide on a path instead of staying as the generalist magic class that he had been using: Mage.

This was why he had been avoiding the Patch Notes as much as possible. The side of his brain that carried him through his research projects for the University was starting to activate. Instead of diving deeper, Merrick kept his query to the surface level and eventually found the answer to a question that had been forming since the last Faction War.

Alric watched with disdain from the sidelines as he watched victory float upward from the shards of the Death Knight's sword. The Thief watched as the hero of his Faction slid to the ground by the fallen boss.

Merrick was tempted to send Alric to loot the dungeon all over again while he dealt with the Colosseum Champion. The War Officiant's announcement had said that all of the monsters had been respawned and due to the increased difficulty, they would be carrying better gear.

With a smile, the Knight-Errant took two steps forward and jumped into the air. Like an old-school video game, he hit the top of the coming avalanche and bounced upward like the expanding mushroom was a trampoline.

Merrick smiled and was about to thank the Thief but Alric continued, "Also, I thought you were some kind of genius… but it looks like you barely managed to take down the three of them. Even with preparing."

The War Officiant sighed, "Oh they are watching. So please don't break the game."

The War Officiant's voice announced that the point went to The Curious Glades just as Yorin was consumed by the growing fungus and died.

Yorin cleared his throat, "Excuse me, would you mind turning off the air de-purifier for a bit?"

Once Grunt looked over, Yorin finally spoke up, "With a name like Grunt and that build, I can tell you are compensating for something."

Grunt was a Paladin, but Merrick could not be sure what Oath he had taken. The Paladin's Oath was were they gained their abilities and their primary stat boosts. Based on Grunt's gear, Merrick could assume that it was either the Oath of Courage or the Oath of Vitality. Now that they had changed into their battle gear, the former Vice-Leader of Hades Collective, Grunt, was outfitted like a tank with a heavy sword strapped to his back and a giant shield strapped to his arm.
