mammoth dungeon
The scenery of this dungeon was stunning, on both left and right huge cliffs and in-between a fast field of long grass, reed a small lake here and there and a lot of mammoths.
The first few groups of mammoths were dead in seconds, Jack was tanking all mobs and Aron was doing damage with his sword and shield. At the moment a target got a wound the swapped to another mammoth. The first side boss was already after they were in the dungeon for 5 minutes, it was a solo boss so Jack on tanking and if needed Aron as backup but he was mostly for damage now.

Jack grabbed the boss and everyone went full on attack see if the could kill the boss as soon as possible. Of course they did kill the boss in an incredible speed, just after 15 seconds the boss was down.
Jessica: Our damage is 2334 health per second. Not bad, let's see if we can upgrade this number.
Aron: It's nice that we do a lot of damage, but I prefer to be alive after a day of clearing dungeon or dungeons. Let's check the loot in those tressure chest!
They found:
[500 x mana potion <500 mana>]
[10x miner system]
[2x alchemist system]
Jack: So we have 10 mana potions each, seems like we can burn some mana.
The next 15 bosses went down between the 10 and 40 seconds, the mammoth in between did get killed without any specific plan. After two hours of continuous fighting they needed some recovery, they knew the best rewards would be when they completed it within the day. But there was no need to go brain dead doing it.
Jessica was now saddened if the took 100 people with them bot Aron and Jack could split up and get the dungeon done faster. Everyone else was happy the had only half of the group, leveling up skills did go way faster now. Specially with the extra mana potions.
Jack: Aron do you think we will get better armour? The mammoths don't do that much damage but it's adding up if you put them in the same speed category as the goats.
Aron: I don't know but I hope so. We now have alchemist system, perhaps we will get smitting systems or something. We still need to find out if the tailors can do something with the goat hides, the bunny hides was just for clothes.
Jessica: I hope we will have something for everyone soon, the gear we found in the bunny dungeon is getting full with holes.
After 15 minutes of rest they started again, the scenery didn't change much only the cliffs were now 500 meters high instead of 200 meters. For some of the team members seeing this was just mouth dropping, sadly the number of mammoths began to decrease in front of them. The team now wondered what would be ahead, a mammoth boss or something else. Aron told them that earth's mammoths loved the steppe tundra, the difference was the mammoths here withstood temperatures above the 20 degrees.
After an hour of just killing 5 mammoth bosses without any adds, Aron mostly who did read a lot in the past was starting to wonder why. Most mammoths they killed so far were young males and a few really old females, could it be that at the end of the dungeon one alfa male with several female members. Aron didn't tell anyone but started to worry more and more, they didn't see any mammoth or other animal for 2 hours. After another hour Aron's suspicion came true, 10 side bosses together with one end boss.
Jessica and the others hearing Jack and Aron both curse knew something was wrong, they could see the mammoths but not their level or there stats. Aron and Jack could with [inspect] they were shocked to the core, both of them thinking of a plan to work out on killing the 11 mammoths in front of them.

Aron: This is going to be a pain, what do you think Jack? And remember I don't like running.
Jack: I don't know an option without running, I'm willing to run but I'm not sure how many I can handle.
Aron: Remember the boss has 75 stamina, are you sure you can keep running without dieing?
Jack: No
Jessica: I understand that you both are talking about the mammoths in front of us but what is the issue?
Aron: We don't have the damage, heals and tanks to do this. If we had more of everything we would probably be fine, but at the moment it looks like if we go for them we die.
Jessica: If we use the boost I got from the quests will we have a chance?
Aron: I hope so, without that boost it's impossible.
Daisy: So we are going to do this, if so what mammoth to kill first?
Aron: I would say the boss, getting down 250k health will take us about 18 minutes normally but we don't know what the side bosses and boss it self does. Can you keep the females on you for that long Jack?
Jack: With the boost I'm sure I can.
Jessica: OK then let kill the boss with the boost.
With Jessica now using the boost of one hour, everyone had a nice warm feeling inside. With that the battle started, Aron as promised did take the boss and Jack went running with the side bosses. Jack could only run away for 10 seconds before his mammoths returned to Aron's mammoth.
Jack: INCOMING!
With a loud shout Jack informed his team mates. Aron told the damage dealers to keep pushing on the boss, he took a few steps back to look at the escaped mammoths. He couldn't help it but just think that would be it, Ricky was putting up more heals then he normally would but no way Aron could hold all mammoths and stay alive. The did now hit the mammoth boss for 18 seconds and did over 50k damage on him, that part was looking good.
Aron: Jack taunt the boss of me and see what happens.
Jack did as he was told and did taunt the boss, the big boss now running straight for him bit the side bosses still running towards Aron.
Aron: Keep hitting the boss at all cost ranged damage, if your melee damage hit my target.
Aron now holding 10 side bosses was going down faster as before but it was manageable for Ricky anf the other healer to heal both Aron and Jack. Aron now hitting his [slash and bash, lvl 3] as many times as he could on a mammoth to create a wound and then he would swap towards another mammoth this went on for 15 seconds giving 3 mammoths wounds, now Aron mammoths did run towards Jack.
Aron: Jack swap mammoths again, you would probably need to run for a bit.
Jack did as he was told and Aron did his [inspect] on the boss.

The boss did go down steady due to the ranged damage dealers, the boss himself couldn't do that much damage because he needed to run from Aron to Jack and back. Now it was Aron's plan to keep damaging the boss until the side bosses were close again and then swap. This way the melee damage dealers could do as much damage as possible, the ranged damage dealers were consuming mana potions as if it was the best drink ever.
This went on for 30 seconds before 3 side bosses died because of their wounds, the boss now only with 10k left was running towards Aron started to look really annoyed and angry. Aron told them to push the last 10k health with everything they had, before the boss could do anything he died. Now it was time for the 7 side bosses, 2 of them already wounded so Aron choose one of the most healthy ones to taunt of Jack.
It took them 5 minutes to get everything down, the ranged damage dealers went all out on all fronts the consumed all their mana potions. With the fight done it was time to loot everything.

The loot was OK, it was not as much systems as before but they still had a golden chest to open. Aron did slowly open the chest and what he saw after using his inspect skill he jumped in the air of happiness.
