Dungeon Rules
You may control NPC dialogue slightly as long as it does not majorly effect anything, such as having a brief line of conversation. However, if they gave away crucial info in this, such as the location of a key needed to open a locked door, that would be unallowed. Combat will work similarly, to make it more interesting for the player. You may have the enemy make certain actions in combat, as long as they do not disadvantage anyone, ally or not, or change the flow of battle. Having the enemy Lizalfos strike at your blade with his is acceptable, but having him trip and impale himself on your blade is not. The actual outcome of actions is to be determined by me. It is recommended to keep this to a minimum, as if you do one of these actions and I feel it is not what I had in mind or conflicts with what that character would normally do, I will ask you to alter it. Likewise, though I will keep character control to a minimum, there may be times when I have to decide your character's actions myself. If If your character makes an action you feel is out of character, inform me and I will fix it. Please determine how you wish to spend your rupees quickly, and add it to the beginning or end of one of your RP posts. If it is a treasure and you have a certain means by which you wish to acquire it, message me and I will consider it. Otherwise, I will work it into the dungeon by some means, so as such, the earlier the better.

It was a bright, warm, fresh day. The sunlight shone down from above, wrapping around and enveloping your skin. At least, it would have if you weren't clad head to toe in armor. . . and if you had skin. Mountains decorated the environment around you, though perhaps not the tallest you had ever seen. You had received a tip that somewhere in the caverns around this area of the mountains lived a powerful fire beast, which had slain numerous adventurers all by itself. However, due to the lack of survivors there didn't seem to be a large portfolio of info beyond that. Being the bloodthirsty warrior you were, such a challenge was right up your alley. Who was this armor clad monster, however? It was none other than Sienna!

You had seemingly reached your destination, the cavern that led to the beast. At least, that was what the instructions you had received led you to believe. Strangely, you could hear noises from inside the cavern. A loud, bellowing noise echoed off the cavern walls outside. The noise was low in pitch, but you could deduce that it was a voice. However, the actual words went unknown. Was there someone in there? Although you couldn't make out the words, it didn't sound particularly monster-like, but you've been walking in the sun in heavy armor, what do you know?

--

It was a bright, warm, fresh day. That seems a bit familiar, doesn't it? Deja vu. You seemed to curiously look to and fro as you walked between stone after stone, as if looking for something within the small mountain range you had found yourself in. You were looking for your allies. Recently, there had been a small gang of criminals assaulting small traveling caravans and looting their supplies. There was even a few reports of murder. While normally someone like you wouldn't be all the way out here for some mere caravan thieves, they had committed a serious crime. These criminals took the head of a somewhat important nobleman, causing the Hylian guard to act. Soon after, they received a tip that the gang of thieves' hideout was somewhere within this mountain range. A small squadron of guards were sent out to apprehend them, with you leading them. Who was this experienced guard captain, however? It was none other than Julius!

. . . However, there had been a small hiccup. Your men were not very experienced with these mountains, and a couple were rather fresh blood. As such, due to some complication and events along the way, the squadron got split up throughout the mountains, and now you were alone, searching for the rest of your team AND the thieves. Perhaps that was why you were here, to help give the new blood experience while in a safer environment due to your appearance. As you walked through the mountains, you caught the tailwind of a voice coming from a nearby cavern. Inching over, you could determine that it was a deep, booming voice, but you could not make out what it was saying. However, it didn't sound like any of your men, so who was it? Then again, your memory is a bit fading, so maybe one of their voices slipped your mind?

--

The heat was thick, as you slowly cut through it, the only thing providing relief being the spinning leaves up above. It was at times like this you may have envied other races, who had better means to deal with the heat. It was rather creepy, a narrow tunnel illuminated only by Blue Fire. Although you could see, the luminescent blue glow let off by the fire made things nerve wracking, sending a chill down your non existent spine. Well, at least it would help to cool you off in this heat. You had to keep going though, it was your mission. You had received a tip from a few Korok that this cavern in this mountain range was the perfect location to plant a Great Deku Tree. However, it was a long travel, so they were far too tired to make the trip. Lazy, right? Not you, however, you were dedicated, you were determined. Who were you? It was none other than Mei!

As you flew and flew, you started to see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Eventually breaking out, you were met with a surprise; heat, lots of it. Specifically, magma. A powerful updraft hit you as you left the tunnel, sending you spiraling out of control apparently straight towards magma. You tried and tried to control your copter, but it just seemed to not work. Shutting your eyes, this seemed to be the end, you wouldn't get to plant the seed of the Great Deku Tree after all. However, you seemed to be rising again, strangely. It seems as if you had hit another updraft, sending you flying high up before falling face first onto the hard, warm earth. You were a bit dazed by the impact, and your face was a little sore, but it's better than lava at least. You could've sworn you heard something far off in the distance, a noise of some sort. Then again, you were rather dazed, and dumb enough to believe you could plant a Great Deku Tree seed in a mountain.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz.

Buzzing through the air, giving not a care, that was the life you lead. What wonderful adventures would await you today? Just the other day, you got in a bar fight with a stick you swore was alive, but it turned out to just be laying on top of a worm. Crazy stories, right? You were in a cavern now, a rather warm cavern. Anything for the pursuit of riches though! You received a tip from a rat that there was an exceedingly rare treasure somewhere in this cavern, one that would grant all your riches. Seeing as how it must be a reliable source, you buzzed off to investigate, even if it meant fighting. But who the buzz were you? Why, you were. . . Who are you, I can't see anyone. Oh, there you are! Buzzari Bugman!

They say even a bee has to bee a bee out of water to bee alive sometimes. That's what you heard once, but does it even make any sense? Who cares! As you buzzed through the cavern, you popped out of a small hole to see colossal rock giants, several hundred times larger than you. Of course, to any normal person, these would be known as Goron, but perhaps you had a bit of a different perspective on it. They were talking, but you couldn't seem to understand them because you were buzzing far too loudly, maybe a bit excited? I'm sure they're friendly, but who knows, you're a bee. Maybe they'll just think you're beeneath them and swat you like a fly. Sorry, I'm sure that's offensive.​

Perhaps it really was one of my lost men having wandered into this cave via mishap, the guard captain thought momentarily. He eyed the rocky cave entrance warily, his keener senses tuning in and out of his surrounding environment. There didn't seem to be anything immediately threatening about it, but you were never too sure around these parts...

Perhaps the first thing he noticed upon wandering a few feet into the cavern was an especially intense heat, one that reminded him of the forge, but would only grow in strength until it seared his skin and boiled him alive in his armor. Ganon would like that, wouldn't he, Julius pondered absentmindedly, smirking at his own sense of humor. Surgate Stew, prepared in only the finest of Julius brothes, he thought, venturing deeper into the cavern. The heat wasn't entirely uncomfortable to him, having worked many a forge in his time. Rounding an edge that lead to a darker section of the cavern, he finally let out a brief laugh over whatever he was thinking about, though it would likely simply still be more thoughts about Ganon eating his flesh as one of his evil minions, most likely a Darknut or Moblin, stood alone in some form of kitchen area, cleaning and preparing his armor for the next poor soul to be cooked alive in.

What a track record his armor would have, then. A reputable guard captain and near-master swordsman gifted the armor by Zelda herself, and later consumed by Ganon after being cooked in the very same suit of armor. He continued into the cave, still a slight chuckle escaping from his lips as he continued deeper into the ever hotter caves.

Treasures added. Buzzari can already have Shock Enchantment, the rest will be obtained at some point in the dungeon.

Furthermore, I'd like to inform you of the theme of this dungeon. The theme, aside from what you expect from Goron Mines, will be 'trust' and 'lies'. Interpret that as you will, but it may differ from what you interpret it as.

Standing to her feet, Mei could recognize the noises as coming from a nearby tunnel. After shaking the momentary daze she had taken due to the impact, she would quickly come to realize that it wasn't just noises she heard, they were voices. Summoning all of the courage dwelling in your tiny form, you stepped forward, determined to seek them out. After all, you had a mission, and maybe they could help. The voices seemed to come from around the bend of a cavern corner, so you couldn't see just what they were until you entered. By the way, wouldn't it be hilarious if the ground was so hot, your feet melted to the ground? Or it set you ablaze due to your wooden make-up? . . .No, it wouldn't?

Anyway, as you wrapped around the corner, before you saw them, you could make out a few words of conversation. "Goro? Goro?" Fell upon your ears(?) as you turned, and your eyes were met with a trio of Goron, sitting in a small, camp-like area. Of course, for the most part it was simply rocks. They sat on large rocks, they munched on rocks, and there were rocks. However, they didn't seem to notice or address you, as they were preoccupied with something else. . .

--

Buzzzzzz. Although your initial prodding didn't seem to grab their attention, the other was a little different. Buzzing up to their ear, you let out a loud, audible buzz which didn't go unnoticed. The Goron you had rest yourself on looked left and right curiously, confused. "Goro?" He seemed confused for a moment until you spoke, causing him to jump in panic and fall back, nearly falling off the large rock he had fixated himself on. "Dongorongo! Stop playing tricks again, Goro! Sounded like it was right next to me. . ." The Goron shouted, causing the Goron nearby to give a response.

"Goro? I didn't do anything, are you okay Gorbor?" Then, when you introduced himself, the Goron seemed shocked. "Buzzari? Who's there?" It took him a moment of looking around until Dongorongo pointed you out. "Gorbor. . . What's that on your shoulder?" The Goron turned his head downward, to see a small, bee-like creature, who had just finished asking where to find shiny treasure. Gorbor almost smacked the bee out of surprise, but then realized that it wasn't just a bee, it was a talking bee, in a cave. "Hey, check it out, goro! A talking bee!" The other two Goron moved closer to look at Buzzari curiously, interested.

The other two stared, fixated at you, for a moment, before Dongorongo spoke. "Well? Go ahead, say something!" They had completely ignored your question, and it was likely they didn't even hear you. Meanwhile, from an entrance to the south, a tiny Korok stood, completely unnoticed so far.

--

As Sienna and Julius entered their respective caverns, they winded down a short, narrow path, but the voices didn't stop. In fact, they became clearer, and it seemed as if it was. . . singing? They heard a clear, deep voice singing as they turned around a cavern corner, reaching a somewhat large room. Numerous different cavern holes decorated the walls, and they had come out of two such holes. In the center of the room was a large Goron wearing a dirtied, brown hat. On his face was a massive, black moustache, but you both probably knew Goron could not normally grow facial hair.

In front of him was a large iron pot, and below that, a roaring fire. He seemed to have a large rock in both hands, spinning it around in circles in the pot, stirring as he sang. "Smash the Tektite, with a rock.~ Scoop the Tektite, with a rock.~ Cook the Tektite, with a rock.~ Eat the Tektite, with a rock.~" He sung, tossing what appeared to be a Tektite leg into the pot. He sung the line again, tossing a small rock into the pot as he finished. He continued, completely unaware that the two of you had entered the room. However, you both noticed him, and possibly each other. Maybe he would know where to find whatever it was you were looking for. . . Then again, look at that moustache he was wearing, how reliable was he?

Julius's senses scanned the environment surrounding him. There was, of coursebthe singing goron in the center of the room, but there was an additional life-force heading near towards him...alarming still, was the lack of a read he could get on the goron. For one thing, he knew it was physically impossible for a goron to grow hair; hell, they had rocks for nipples. Second, gorons dined specifically on rock and gemstones. It was simply unfeasible for there to be a goron making any form of tektite-based food; he wasn't even sure if they were edible with their capable stomachs.

He based the other life-force drawing nearer still to him. He grasped the wooden hilt of his blade and turned in its general direction, his feet planted securely on the floor. The first thing he noticed was that it was carrying an enormous glaive; at least double its possessor's height...which wasn't much, he soon noticed. Judging from their stature, they would have to be either a diminutive member of a larger race...or something more similar to a kokiri, or deku. It was hard to tell with the amount of armor covering their body, however. Turning his head to the side to catch another glimpse of the goron, before looking forward to the armored being once again. He began to approach it at a slow, steady pace, careful to not make any noise which would stir the chef from his reverie. His hand remained on the wooden hilt of his blade, a cautious yet unexpecting grasp. He didn't have it gripped too tightly, anyone could plainly observe, and as he continued to move toward the mystery warrior, he continued to glance at the goron every while and again. Soon, he and the armor-clad warrior met in stride. Julius took the pre-emptive to conversation speaking in a very low, hushed tone, "We can get to know each other later. For now, you see that goron standing in the center over there?" Julius turned, eyeing him warily, "He's not an actual goron, I don't think. For one thing, they don't grow hair, any where, and second, they don't eat...tektites," Julius added, gagging at the thought of eating such a monstrosity. "But, he may have answers...whatever he is. I suggest we try intimidation," his grasp grasp on his sword's hilt tightening, "On three," he said, beginning to count down.

As the small bee-like man shouted, the Goron known as Gorbor fell back in shock. A talking bee, in the mines?! Unbelievable! "It- It really is, Goro! A talking bee!" As the Gorons flipped out over the talking bee, a voice from afar was heard. It almost went unnoticed to the three Goron, but the third and final Goron, Gorrito, managed to catch it. "Goro?" He quizzed, turning his head slightly. Plant a seed, goro? In the mines?

The Goron let out a deep chuckle. Who would try to plant a seed in the mines, goro? That's just dumb! She must be playing a trick on him or something. "Springwater? In these mines, goro? Hahaha, no such thing, goro! My eyes have only met with delicious rocks and magma down here, goro, nothing of that sort." Dongorongo interjected, turning his head away from Buzzari to face Mei. "Well, goro. . . I heard a rumor that deep in the caverns lies the perfect setting for a plant, goro. Rich soil- Without any rocks, goro- surrounded by fresh water, it would be perfect for a seed, goro! . . . But that is dangerous, goro. There are monsters down there. Stay here with us and eat rocks, goro. I'm Dongorongo, goro!" The Goron introduced himself, picking up two small rocks and handing one to Mei. He tried to hand another to Buzzari, but it was several times larger than he was.

"Oh, sorry bee brother, goro." He said as he shoved the rock in his mouth to eat. Directed at Buzzari, Gorbor turned back to face Buzzari. "I'm Gorbor, goro! Okay now Mr. Bee, say goro, goro!" Gorrito sat down on a rock somewhat closer to Mei. "I'm Gorrito, goro. That there is Mr. Bee Brother, goro." Mei probably wouldn't be able to tell what he was talking about though. Goro.

--

This was the stupidest plan I've ever seen.

With that out of the way, the Goron seemed to not pay you any attention as you talked or moved, happily stirring his soup and singing. As Sienna jumped and tackled them however, the reaction was different. He fell to the ground, the impact sending the boiling hot soop splashing in front of him at Julius. Slamming against the ground, Sienna started pummeling him, punch after punch colliding with my face.

"M. . .My soup, goro. . . " Sienna could vaguely hear him mutter between punches, but it wouldn't be quite as vague after. "M. . . MY SOUP, GOROOOO!" He boomed as his body quickly changed. His arms expanded in size as did his body, turning a darker, brown-ish tiny of red. He almost seemed to be around the size of a Yeti now, with thick arms to boot. Speaking of boots, with this newfound size increase Sienna's boots weren't enough to hold his arms down. Though she tried to leap away, it was unsuccessful as he grabbed her legs with his massive, rocky arms. "MY SOUP GOROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" His voice echoed throughout the caverns as he lifted Sienna's comparatively light body up, flinging her harshly in the air. Her body flew through the air, and unless anything was done would slam into the wall across from him.

On the ground to his feet rest the small, battered brown hat and thick black moustache. They had fallen off almost immediately due to the punches Sienna delivered, resting near the small fire that had been used to heat the boiling soup.

Julius watched, stunned, as she began to fly at the goron. This is not what he in mind, no, no, no. His heart began to beat frantically as that...thing, transformed into an absolute monster. Extending his legs and coming up from his crouching position, he drew his sword as the pot initially began to to topple over, its boiling contents spilling onto the floor, some of it even managing to rain upon his armor, though the heat was barely noticeable under his armor. A few droplets of the yellowish soup managed to sear his skin temporarily; maybe he really was going to be boiled alive! The slight pain wore off soon, however, as he began to rush towards the monstrous goron. Doubting his rage could be placated by any means of diplomacy at this point, he raised his shield as he drew ever closer to the goron, Sienna having smashed into the wall a few mpments prior.

"Hey, stonehead!" He shouted, trying to draw its focus to him. A faint presence surged in the room; a fourth, close to where she had impacted the wall. A white wolfos, for whatever reason loyal to the masked marauder, swiftly ran to its owner as she dropped onto his back. An interesting combo, he idly toyed with. Still trying to get the thing's attention, he closed into melee range at last. She was beginning to charge at the goron; if they hadn't learned anything from before, it was that simply rushing this foe wouldn't work. Careful, precise tactics and teamwork would need to be employed on the fly, as Julius began to lash out against their foe, who almost assuredly was doing the same to Julius.

As you mentioned the potential shinies, Gorbor's eyes seemed to, rather surprisingly, glow with a newfound desire. "S-Shinies, goro?! L-Like, rock shinies, goro?!" The Goron looked at Buzzari, as if awaiting an answer, but was quickly interrupted. "But Gorbor, you know it's too dangerous down there! You're not supposed to go down, goro!" Dongorongo spoke, but Gorbor was not one to give in that easily. "But brother, you know of the delicious shiny, goro?" Delicious shiny? The Gorons looked to the ceiling as they seemed to visualize it, jaws dropped as they did so. If Goron could salivate, they would likely be doing so.

This fantasy was interrupted by Dongorongo once more, "But it's still too rocksy, goro. These rocks are still tasty, goro." Gorbor glanced back and forth from person to person, conflicted and torn on whether to pursue the shiny rocks or not. . . if there were shiny rocks, that was. That thought didn't seem to cross his mind, though.

--

Crying out at the Goron, he seemed completely unphased by the taunts Julius had delivered, not even turning his attention to the Hylian for a moment in response.

As the sharp edges slid and sliced through the air, they collided with various points on the Goron's body; Julius' blade collided around the upper arm area, while Sienna's wakizashi sliced into the large, round belly of the Goron. Despite these different locations, one thing that remained similar among both of them were rocks. A multitude of thick rocks spread among the creature's body, seemingly growing out of nowhere. As the blades sliced into the rocks to penetrate the squishy flesh below, they both noticed a similar reaction. The blades slowed to a complete stop, unable to cut through the rocky chunks. They were surprisingly extremely durable despite their size and sudden growth, weren't they?

As the duo was probably momentarily shocked by this sudden realization, the monstrous hulk creature pulled his arm back, slamming it into Sienna with a smack and sending her flying back. If she held onto Ravager during this, she would likely only fall back- albeit with Ravager on top of her-, but pull the Wolfos with him. However, if she released him, he would stay put but she would fall farther and risk more injury upon herself. Alternatively, if she held onto the wakizashi lodged in the Goron's thick rock hide, she would likely prevent movement entirely and possibly even withdraw the wakizashi along with it, at the cost of a severe increase in the pain she would feel from the impact. Her massive glaive rest a foot or two behind where Ravager currently stood, so it wouldn't be too difficult to retrieve if she so chose.

As for Julius, after smacking Sienna, the Goron grabbed at his hand holding the hilt of the blade, presumably trying to withdraw it as quickly as possible. Though it did not crush his fingers, Julius felt moderate pressure squeeze his fingers as the Goron gripped the hilt tightly, pulling it and ripping the sword out of his shoulder. Slugging his arm to the side, he swung Julius' sword and arms around, causing him to become unstabilized and stumble, though he managed to keep his balance enough to not fall.

After doing this, the Goron reached down to his feet, voice bellowing as he did. Though, it was a different phrase from before. "MY. . . ROOOOOOOOOOOOOCKS, GOROOOOOO!" He whined like a young child throwing a tantrum after being refused his favorite toy. In his hands rest a pile of flames, a couple burning wooden planks. Though they had been burning for a short while, the wood overall seemed rather solid still, and on fire. "I WANT MY ROOOOOOOOOOOOCKS!" He whined as he hurriedly flung the recklessly gathered portion of campfire in Julius' direction. Though it was seemingly aimed at him, the hulk didn't seem to be thinking this through; A good portion of the flames and wood fell to the ground before reaching Julius, while only a couple of planks would reach its destination, should he choose to stay still. Regardless, a scattered pathway of embers and ashes rest in the way between the Goron and Julius now.

His body was adorned with a multitude of the seemingly impenetrable rocks, with various small crevices separating rock from rock. They were a bit wider than the typical slits you'd expect in heavy armor, but the shapes were a bit funkier due to the bumps and roughness of the rocks.

His arms twisted around, though he still had hold of his sword. The growths were similar to body armor, Julius had noticed, though the thought occured in the imstant that he transferred the momentum from the Goron into a shoulder roll to his right, popping back up in less than a sixth of a minute, the planks already having crashed into the dirt of the floor. He positioned himself to face the side of the Goron, ignoring where his ally was, though he could still get a general feel for where Siemma amd wolfos mount were in the cavern relative to himself.

He opened with a quick, fluent stroke of his shield, colliding with the Goron's right arm, and in the same motion taking a shallow, swift jab at a weak point in the side of his lower torso, though it would be closer to his hip or waist. As soon as his shield connected, he would swing back to a guarding position, wary of any attacks made by the monstrosity. However, of his shield didn't connect, either as solidly as he were hoping or at all, possibly; he could easily withdraw from his stabbing maneuver, the shallowness of his stab being key.

As you inquired about what exactly the things 'down there' were, and where they were, the Goron's boisterous attitudes seemed to go silent for a moment as they looked at each other for a moment before speaking. "Uh, well, goro. . . " Gorbor hesitated, pausing for a couple moments before continuing. "We know about as much as a rock, goro. All we know are tales, goro. My brothers have told me of monsters so strong that a punch won't even penetrate their rocky hides, goro! There's also lava over all the most delicious rocks, but that isn't a problem for us, goro. Plus, goro. . . It's like a maze down there, goro, you saw the mountains, right brother? We've never been down there, so we don't really know the way either, goro. . ." He seemed to be hesitant to go still, as Mei turned to talk to Buzzari, who happily accompanied agreed.

As he tried to convince the Goron once more, Dongorongo still disapproved, and the two seemed to start getting into an argument about it. Before it could escalate, however, they heard a light, deep laughter coming from away from them, from Gorrito. "Brother, brother, this fight is silly, goro. We are talking about the delicious rocks, goro. What else is there to pursue in life, but the rocks, goro? So what if it may be a little rocky, it will all be well worth it once we get a taste of the rare rocks, goro. To back down, brothers, means you're no real Goron, you're just a Deku Scrub, goro!" Gorbor and Dongorongo looked in awe as he gave his apparently awe inspiring speech, though neither Mei nor Buzzari may not have gotten it. It must be a Goron thing.

Dongorongo seemed to almost be in tears, if Goron could cry, at the speech. "Y-You're right, Gorrito. How could I be so foolish, brother, I'm so sorry, goro! We must go deep within the mines and find the special rocks together, brothers!" He said, looking at his two Goron companions and the other two that would be accompanying him. "Our pride as Goron is on the line, goro!" Gorrito nodded wisely as Dongorongo spoke, and Gorbor cheered triumphantly. "Yes, for the shiny rocks, goro! Follow us, goro, we'll lead the way!" Gorbor shouted, grabbing his bag of rocks along with the other Goron before heading down a cavern, munching on rocks as he ran.

Didn't he just say he didn't know where he was going. . . ? Well, you wanted them to tag along with you, and it seemed like they were more than willing to. "Let's go, brothers!" Dongorongo said to the two of you as he ran off to catch up to Gorbor, Gorrito following behind with you.

--

Julius acted first, thrusting forward with a swift shield bash against his arm and pushing his left arm forward against the Goron's wrist. Though it didn't seem very dazed by the shield bash, or damaged at all, really, due to the position of its hulking arms, the rock monster's upper and lower arm were pressed against each other, preventing movement as long as Julius kept locking it in place. Of course, even despite this initiation, Julius could still feel immense force try to push him away as the Goron's arm tried to unlock itself, but he managed to stand his ground and keep it in place.

Immediately following the shield bash, Julius threw out a swift piercing jab at the Goron's side, aimed for the opening crevices between rocks. Although it seemed to pierce past the rocks, it didn't pierce the Goron very far, due to a combination of the naturally thick skin he already possessed and the sporadically formed rock shapes catching the blade. Learning from last time, Julius didn't force it further, withdrawing the blade so as to not get it stuck. While not a deep cut, the creature seemed to notice, roaring once more about rocks as he swung a left hook at Julius, his right hand currently held back.

The Hylian quickly pulled his shield back, the massive, beefy flaming fist colliding with Julius and knocking him back slightly, though he managed to stand his ground with minimal injuries other than perhaps light shock from impact, but surely he was more than used to that.

As Julius distracted it, Sienna acted. Ravager dashed behind the Goron as it was preoccupied with the Hylian, seemingly completely unaware of the Deku Scrub's presence now. Ravager rushed forward, Sienna leaping into the air as her glaive flew up not even a moment after. Catching the glaive midair, Sienna dropped like a mountain on the Goron's back, glaive pointed down with all of the force she could muster. The blade pierced through a small slit in his back, though still the largest she could see within that moment or two. Despite this, the weight of the fall pushed the blade further down, piercing somewhat deeply into his back. Sienna landed on his massive back with the glaive protruding outward, the Goron crying out in pain as it was very visibly hurt. However, it didn't seem to be effected by the pain.

There was a problem for Sienna, however. She would find that although her glaive had scored a clean hit, it was lodged within the middle of his back. It was rather hard to pull out, and she didn't have time to withdraw it as she had to leap off, lest she be flung off as the Goron violently spun around behind him. Lifting his hands high into the air, they glowed with a bright white energy, slamming into the ground and sending a massive shockwave rippling throughout the room, in the directions of both Sienna and Julius. However, he had seemed to completely forget about Julius now, his attention entirely on Sienna and back turned to the Hylian. The only thing potentially in his way, it seemed, was the massive glaive sticking outward.
