63: Swiping the key

"Darn it. Why did I have to lose that bet? I looked away for 1 second and that fucker swiped all my good cards away" the guard complained as he entered the hall. He instantly lit his lamp and waved it around.

The monster in the dark jerked out of the way as soon as he saw the light.

It had been a close call but the monster would not dare attack someone holding the light lamp. The sun was also beginning to rise which weakened the monster even more.

"Those damn cursed beings. Why could they not come and check up on their treasure themselves? Why did our boss have to accept such an unfair deal?" The guard asked as he walked ahead. He could talk like this because he knew these words would never leave this safe house.

Not many people were brave enough to venture into such a dangerous trap. Even the adventurer's guild wanted nothing to do with this trap once it was up.
