Its time!

Having charged directly into the fray of the goblins within the tower. He knew that he had to take advantage of this situation! As the goblins jumped forward he had thrown the spear like a javelin should be. Impaling 3 onto the nearby wall. 2 died instantly but one was struggling a bit, blood dripping from the spear as he looked at the others surrounding him. There were roughly 10 of them and that had him a little concerned. He was still in the entryway of the tower! He couldn't get far like this!

2 of the goblins jumped towards his torso, 4 at his legs and 4 towards his arms attempting to pin him down.

He wasn't strong enough to fight then all off, as they began to dig into the armor he wore that was keeping up the appearance of the guard pony.

Taking in a deep breathe he had slammed his head into one of them on his right arm allowing him to break his right arm free. A glint for a brief moment he looked up just to see one of the goblins had a dagger!

Slamming down onto his arm, impaled into him he felt his arm go numb as he a screamed in pain. Adrenaline coursing through him further as his breathing became erratic!

He tore the knife out, slit the throat of 2 of the goblins. Stabbing into one that jumped him as a makeshift bomb plopped down lit at his feet in the middle of the hoard.

One goblin was trying to run away after throwing it and thus he threw the dagger hoping to all that he could manage to hit the goblin and kill them.

Favor was on his side as the blade sunk into the back of the goblins tunic as the bomb w I ukd light up in a flash causing him and all the other goblins to go flying in other directions, some in pieces as the armor had taken so much damage it was hard to keep the for. If the stallion any further from the enchantment.

He was panting heavily with hard injuries and broken bones as he pulled himself to an upright sitting position against the wall. The banging from outside beginning in more Ernest...

"Fucking hell... They are still at it?..."

Pulling himself together as he was holding his arm that dropped blood to the ground. While trying not to put too much strain on his torso with a busted left leg. He limped his way forward to what seemed like an open room.

Shouts, and blasts of magic are very apparent, but they did nothing in allowing them a chance to get inside. He would find that a large spell like circle in the middle would begin to glow!

Walking forward onto the circle, with slight hesitation and sweat on his brow he removed the armor of the guard he had taken. "I won't be relying on things given to me by the others on the exterior, right now what I need to do is find out what exactly is going on outside. Something about this reality is different or at least warped, and this tower is the first anomaly! This means that most of their resources are being used here with Shining armor around. So The princesses may try to come by themselves soon when they find that I entered the tower!"

A small little icon would appear in front of him as he stood on the magic circle, -Do you wish to explore the tower of discovery?- A little laugh escaped him as he looked at the No button. Flashes of the good that have happened here in this world, as it was actually quite small and in his old world of earth he never really got a chance to make too much of a difference other then being a listening ear and having a good heart. "A good heart can only get you so far..." He would move from above the no button towards the yes and select it. The window would then disappear, as he would find himself slowly hovering then in a blink the room around him had gone dark.

"Where am I? Oh wait, I must be in the tower as it said no duh!" He spoke to himself, "But since I dropped the spear and armor outside I don't have anything for defense or offense..." He was quite worried, as the torches began to alight with a green flame. All around him, were multiple paths ranging from forward, diagonal, and to the sides with a variety of paths that seemed to intersect. "Seems that this isn't going to be easy without equipment, look at me being an idiot heh."

Stepping forward, he would look at all 5 pathways and would take the one at the dead center. "All these seem to generally come together in one location, what I need to do is take my time and think carefully and try to remember my path... " He would raise his hand and slowly dig his middle finger hard enough into the open wound of his arm. Placing a drop on the wall where he entered, then continuing on. "Any predators would find me sooner or later, but this is all I have to mark where I have been. With nothing on me, I have to be careful of finding food and water and resources..."

He began his trek through the hallway as he wondered why this gave off the vibe of a dungeon. Was this in correlation to his dnd ability he asked for? The multitude of attacks and spells being used outside didn't seem to even damage the tower and yet... That amulet that James used to create this tower, was destroyed easily enough. So why is it that the tower is still standing strong... Maybe it's immune to magic attacks on the exterior?

Magic was used on a circle in tandem with the quest locate of his dnd ability so maybe he was going to be able to regain his strength.

"First things first, I need to find a way to get the adagio sisters to never be able to effect my abilities ever again. That would mean that given how they tampered with them before I got l the way here when I was sleeping perhaps they were convinced or forced to fuck with my wish."

Entering into a room he saw a chest ahead and sighed. "If any dungeon nggh. Crawlers taught me anything it's that.. If something seems to good to be true... It probably is!" He would gather his strength and lunge forward at the chest. Jumping on top of it attempting to hold it shut as he felt it moving and beginning to stand up to try to shake him off like a bull at a rodeo. "Fucking Mimics!" He felt his strength waning when he grabbed onto one of its teeth when it pried itself open and when flung off the mobile transport he slammed face first into a wall. "I feel like a fucking looney tune right now! How am I alive?!" He saw the mimic charging forward arms outstretched aas he put his arms out in front of him!

**Slink**

"What?" He had forgotten in that moment that he grabbed the mimics tooth that when it came running he stabbed it at a peculiar angle. Causing it to poof into black smoke leaving some items and equipment laying on the ground. "Oh look a healing po-" His consciousness left him as he slumped to the ground from all the pain, blood loss, waning adrenaline...

"Am I dying?"

Wading into an open space just floating there in the darkness he didn't feel any pain nor anything seemed to bug him. He was left alone with his thoughts, and wherever this was...

"To summarize, I tricked the adagio sisters into giving me a wish. They monkeys pawed me and didn't plan to let me live, I did and thus I tricked them into a second for dnd powers. Worked to grow dnd powers with the time stop ability. Fought my way through Canterlot guards aafter finding out James was acting completely off his rocker with a medallions influence. Enslaving ponies and the princesses, had managed to face off with nightmare moon or am I not remembering that right. Mane 6 fell into turmoil, apple jack was injured I snapped, killed James, broke the medallion, was betrayed and thrown in prison, busted up a wonderbolt to escape into the ever free without dying. My stats reset to 1, managed to take out a guard, snuck passed the others outside, took on goblins, they blew up and any resources they had turned to dust, got up to the next area fought a mimic a d managed to kill it with its own tooth.. There was a healing potion and some loot but that brings me to now... There are some factors that don't make sense. The changeling shouldn't have been there nor should the adagio sisters in the same hole in the ground. I was going to be kidnapped by a hidden changeling as derpy but got away, befriended as dryad druid timberwolf lady. But by laws of magic this tower should have fallen apart when James died but it didn't... And it accepted Me so does that mean that humans have specific things they ca-"

He had slapped himself. " Derailing again, I'm here because of the dnd ability but does that mean i can access my window here? Status!"

The window would pop up,

"Guess I got berserker because of the mimic and goblin situations side by side and the magician... Maybe that was when I wore the armor since it used illusion magic? Or would that be the bomb or both? Doesn't matter I need to wake the fuck up so I can heal!"

Try as he might to flail and struggle to be able to stand upright in the air levitating he couldn't. As he decided to scream as loud as he could forcing him to wake up immediately next to the loot.

Not hesitating and with things in mind he drank the potion as he gagged at how it tasted tossing it aside. His body healing internal as well as exterior wounds as if time rewound as he placed the gloves of blocking on and the boots of swiftness. With a sword of draining. And a belt with 2 socket gems.

Standing upright he gave a stretch as he felt good as new with a string of pops down his back. "Alright! Equestrian is fucked up and I need to finish a single floor to leave. Wonder how many more things are on this floor that are gonna kill me!"

He began his trek down another of the hallways that interlocked with the middle path to the right.
