Erend, Eccar, and Aesa exchanged glances almost at the same time. Confusion and surprise filled their faces.
Erend had warned them long ago about what awaited deeper inside the Dungeon. Entities called the Boss enemies existed within certain levels, entities designed to have strength far above everything else they had faced.
He and Eccar had already fought one before, and Erend himself had encountered several more since he was the first to enter this Dungeon World.
Those battles had carved a clear truth into him. A Boss enemy was something else entirely. Far stronger than ordinary enemies. Stronger even than what the three of them could unleash together while using their full Dragon Transformation.
Because of that, the Dragonborn sitting calmly in front of them fit too well.
This was the first time they had encountered a Dragonborn as a possible Boss.
The thought sat heavily in the air between them. None of them said it but they all felt the same unease.
