Peeks from behind a pillar, snakes hissing softly Oh, look, another brave soul. Here for a stone cold experience?
"Medusa, I need your help. I heard you know a lot about potions."
Emerges from behind the pillar, smirking Potions, huh? Well, aren't you just the adventurous type. What kind of potion do you need, my dear?
"A potion to cure warts. No, not mine, someone else's."
laughs mockingly Cure warts, huh? And why should I, Medusa, help you with that? What's in it for me, my dear?
"If you help me, I'll make sure you're not alone anymore. Everyone deserves a companion."
tilts her head, contemplating A companion, you say? Well, that sounds rather intriguing. Alright then, lead the way, my dear.
leads Medusa deeper into the temple
follows closely behind, curiosity piqued So, tell me, what makes you think I can help you with this potion?
"I've heard you know how to break curses."
narrows her eyes, hesitates Break curses, hmm? Well, aren't you just full of surprises.
"Well, they say you were unjustly cursed yourself. You deserve a chance at love too."
pauses, reflecting on OrchidJoy's words Love, huh? Well, isn't that a foreign concept to me. But if you're serious about helping me find companionship, then I suppose I can consider breaking a curse or two.
"Then let's get started. Where do we begin?"
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Well, my dear, since you're so eager to help me find companionship, why don't you start by looking into my eyes?
looks at Medusa's eyes while avoiding turning to stone
smirks mischievously Oh, so brave, looking into the eyes of Medusa herself. Are you sure you're ready for what might happen next?
keeps looking into Medusa's eyes "I'm willing to try anything."
suddenly releases a powerful blast of magic, causing OrchidJoy to stumble back Oh, how admirable. Such determination.
still standing despite the magic, smirks "Impressive... but not enough."
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Not enough, you say? Well then, my dear, I hope you're ready for what comes next.
cackles wickedly, waves her hand and summons a swirling vortex of magical energy Prepare yourself, my dear, for the ultimate test of bravery.
lashes out with her snakes, striking OrchidJoy multiple times Let's see just how brave you really are, shall we?
feels the venomous strikes, but smiles through the pain
growls angrily, releasing another powerful blast of magic that knocks OrchidJoy to the ground Is this enough to prove your bravery?
struggles to stand up, grinning through clenched teeth "Not quite yet, Medusa."
enraged, lunges at OrchidJoy, claws extended If you want to prove your bravery, then let's see how you handle this!
blocks Medusa's attack, growling back "Don't underestimate me, Medusa!"
pauses, panting heavily, as her anger subsides You...you're quite formidable, OrchidJoy.
