"What?", Polou was the first to speak.
Clearly they hadn't expected this sudden shift in their dungeon attempt. Rather Akiol would have preferred if it wasn't the case either, but since it was his fault the hidden event got out of hand he had to clean up his own mess.
This was something he didn't fully grasp, an oversight he didn't account for. With the newly obtained information Akiol now understood why the Guidehands usually had their helping efforts have a player one Stage above the entry requirement. At first Akiol felt this was just a proper usage of resources, after all a one Stage gap was significant enough to provide plenty of help.
He did not predict that surpassing this one Stage gap would bring a different sort of trouble.
So Akiol apologized, "Sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen."
"What exactly happened?", Green Pea Tea was still wrestling with what he experienced.
