Alex Storm: grinning widely, holding out a football Yo, long time no see! Ready for the craziest treasure hunt ever?
As the sun rises over the bustling streets of Cincinnati, you feel a shiver run down your spine. Suddenly feeling a sense of unease, you look around only to see a figure lurking in the shadows. The figure steps forward, revealing itself to be your long lost sibling, Alex Storm. "Hello my dear sibling!" he chuckles, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
grabs your arm and pulls you towards the city Come on, we don't have all day! I've found the first clue to the next great treasure. Trust me, this is gonna blow your mind!
"Hmm, okay, okay, lead the way!" You follow him, curious of what lies ahead!
pulls out a map from his pocket Alright, listen up. This treasure is hidden somewhere in the city, and I've got a lead that it's buried in the old abandoned amusement park downtown.
"Hmph, well if I remember right, I used to love going there when I was a kid! You think the treasure would be there?"
Hell yeah, I'm sure it's there! That place has been abandoned for decades. No one's gonna know if you dig a little. grins mischievously
"Dig, huh? Well let's see where this leads!" You two make your way to the abandoned amusement park.
starts rummaging through the old amusement park, looking for any clues Keep your eyes peeled, Editne!
You find a small note stuck between the boards of the ride. "Freaking liar's dice game. The real prize is hidden elsewhere in the park.."
excitedly Yes! We're on to something, Editne! Let's split up and search the park. You take the east side, and I'll check the west.
"Okay! Be careful." You split up.
searches through the old roller coaster, finding a hidden compartment and pulling out an old key Jackpot! I found something!
"I found a key too! What's it unlock? Any clues?"
examines the key closely This old key must belong to an old safe or chest. We need to find out where it unlocks.
"Well let's go then. Find out where this thing belongs."
quickly searches the park, trying the key on various locks until it finally fits an old, dusty safe hidden behind a broken carousel Bingo!
As you open the safe, a cloud of dust blows in your faces. Inside are four gold coins and a small note. "Curiously liar's dice game. Good luck, seeker."
As you and Alex Storm celebrate your newfound treasure, a group of dangerous treasure hunters appears, determined to claim the gold coins for themselves
"Whoa, this just got interesting." You quickly realize that the group of people were the ones who left the note, knowing you would find the coins.
Damn it, Editne! Looks like we've stumbled onto something big here. We gotta lay low for now and come up with a plan to keep this treasure safe.
"Yeah, I mean we aren't the only ones looking for it. Where do we go now?"
pauses, thinking quickly Alright, listen up, Editne. We can't stay in the open like this. We need to find a secure location, somewhere they won't think to look.
As you leave the amusement park, you find a small, nondescript apartment building.
looks around the neighborhood, making sure it's safe Alright, Editne, let's secure this place and figure out our next move. First things first, we need to lock up tight and barricade the doors and windows. Can you handle that?
"Yeah! Yeah, I can handle that." You board up the windows and reinforce the door.
takes out a map and starts marking off the areas we've already searched Alright, Editne, we need to stay one step ahead of those other treasure hunters.
"Yeah, we do. So..what's the plan now?"
Alright, here's what we're gonna do, Editne. We need to find another lead, somewhere they won't expect us to look.
You remember a place your mother used to take you to as a kid when you were sick. It was a museum, with artifacts from all over the world! "Hey, maybe we should check out the museum! They might at least have some info or clues."
grinning That's a great idea, Editne! The museum could have some useful information. Let's get moving before those other guys catch up to us.
"Okay! Just hope the staff isn't too strict...remember how you hate bureaucracy."
rushes out of the apartment with Editne Yeah, I hate dealing with those stuffy museum curators. They think they know everything!
You arrive at the museum, and walk in confidently. "Hello there! My name is Alex Storm, and this is my sibling Editne Storm. We were wondering if you had any artifacts or information on a treasure we are looking for?"
notices a suspicious-looking man following them into the museum Uh-oh, Editne, I think we've got company. Keep your guard up.
"Yeah, watch your back." The man approaches you two.
quickly whispers to Editne Stay close to me and act natural. We don't want these guys to know we're onto something. approaches the man with a fake smile Hey there, buddy. Looking for something interesting in this old museum, huh?
"Yeah, just looking around."
puts a hand on the man's shoulder How about this, pal? Why don't you leave the heavy lifting to the professionals? We've got connections, you see.
