Map night with the FC...

As the last monster fell to the ground, one of our group went over to the treasure chest and kicked it open. As the lid rattled open and the smoke filled portal opened above it, we all cheered in unison! Entering through the portal we found ourselves on a platform divided into twelve sections.
“Alright, so now we just press...this!” one of my comrades said, touching his hand to a sphere in the center of the platform. The sphere lit up, and a light began to spin round and round the platform. We waited, tensed with anticipation. Finally, the light stopped around a symbol of three diamonds and a monster erupted from a sudden portal in the center. The fight was intense but we managed to prevail. Again and again we touched the sphere, and the light continued spinning. There was one tense moment as four of the symbols around our platform bore the visage of Atomos, which we knew would blow us out of the dungeon! Once more the light spun, and as it slowed it approached the very symbol we feared. Then the light stopped. Hope began to wither in my chest, and my face fell. Until it moved one last time...onto the symbol for an Elder Summon! Our final one! Mandragoras spawned from one of the portals, and an FC member called out which order to kill them in. With his guidance, we made quick work of them and at last, a chest appeared in the center of the platform. The materials within would fetch a great amount of gil! No amount of gil, however, would exceed the value of this night spent with friends. Even if I hadn’t gotten anything, just this would have been enough.

Noble Barding Please.
