The night passed quickly, and Natsumi only slept through part of it.  The rest of the time she practiced her form and meditated.  When it was  nearly dawn she left her room to wait at the gate for the other adventurers.  Two were already waiting.  Natsumi took that as a good sign.  She hoped no one had thought to go ahead on their own.  She was not in the mood to find a corpse where she could have had an ally.  She had heard that dungeon fighting was very different than what she was used to, which made her assume it would be far more dangerous.  In the dungeon were monsters that were used to fighting adventurers.  Not only that, but it was in territory that the monsters were familiar with, and treacherous to adventurers.  It would not be an easy fight with allies, and it would be an even harder fight alone.  This didn't make Natsumi nervous, only cautious.  She would not be taking any foolish risks for a job this important.  She would not end up dead in the attempt to retrieve her clan's scroll.  She promised herself as she silently approached the others and leaned against the wall.
