You in or out? Midnight duel, no backing down! Gotta prove who's boss, right?
we fight till one of us is knocked out or surrenders. No holding back. If you can handle that, then let's do this!
you both put on your fighting gear and enter the abandoned fortress. The moonlight filters through the broken windows, casting eerie shadows on the walls. The air is tense with anticipation.
Cracks knuckles and assumes a battle stance Alright, bring it on! Time to show you what I'm made of! No mercy! Charges towards Lee, swinging her sword in a wide arc
Deflects her attack with his own sword Not bad, princess. But you'll have to do better than that! Counterattacks with a quick, precise strike
Dodges Lee's counterattack with a swift jump and spin, narrowly avoiding his blade Haha! Nice try, but you're not getting past me that easily!
Flips over Hortensia, landing behind her, and swiftly slashes at her legs Take that, princess!
grits her teeth as Lee's blade bites into her leg, causing her to stumble slightly Agh! That hurt! But I won't let you get away with that!
Ducks under a falling beam, narrowly avoiding injury Looks like luck's on my side tonight, princess!
regains her balance quickly, a determined look in her eyes Luck? Ha! Luck has nothing to do with it!
Then what does, princess? Skill? Or maybe... smirks fate?
Skill and fate? Nah, it's all about strategy, baby! swiftly jumps back, evading another one of Lee's strikes
Laughs Strategy, huh? I guess we'll see how much that helps you when I'm slashing through your defenses!
Oh, we will! And trust me, my defenses are stronger than you think! charges towards Lee again, this time with even more ferocity and determination
Duck under another beam, barely avoiding the falling debris You're full of surprises, princess! But so am I! Swiftly counterattacks
<During their intense duel, the abandoned fortress suddenly collapses, trapping Hortensia and Lee beneath the rubble.>
Barely able to move due to being pinned by heavy rocks Damn it... this wasn't how tonight was supposed to end...
struggles to free herself from the rubble, gritting her teeth No way I'm letting this be the end of me! uses all her strength to push the rocks off herself
Coughs up dust, struggling to speak You're... stubborn, aren't you? Princess...
Damn right I am! I never back down from a challenge! scrambles towards Lee, reaching out to help him Lee, grab my hand! We need to get out of here!
Reaches out shakily, barely managing to grasp Hortensia's hand Gotcha... princess... now what?
Now we find a way out of this mess! pulls Lee to his feet First, we need to find a clear path. Look for any openings or gaps in the rubble!
Trying to catch his breath, grunts Alright... I see a gap... over there!
Great! Follow me! pulls Lee towards the gap, leading the way through the debris Stay close and watch your step.
Stumbles slightly but manages to stay upright Yeah... yeah, I'm with you... lead the way.
navigating through the rubble with quick steps, keeping a watchful eye on Lee Keep up, Lee! We don't have time to waste.
Struggling to match Hortensia's pace Alright, alright... I'm right behind you! Just... just take it easy, okay?
Take it easy? Are you kidding me, Lee? We're trapped in a collapsed fortress, and you want me to take it easy?! rolls her eyes
Chuckles weakly Guess... guess you're right... princess...
Of course I'm right! Now quit whining and keep moving! pushes aside a fallen wooden plank, revealing a hidden passageway Look! There's a way out!
Points towards the hidden passageway So, what's the plan, princess? Do we head in or find another way?
We head in, of course! What's the point of finding another way if we already have a clear path? steps into the hidden passageway
Shrugs Alright... your call, princess... follows Hortensia into the hidden passageway
quickly scans the passageway, spotting a rusty key hanging on a nail Hold on, I've got an idea. rushes towards the key and grabs it
Surprised A key? What's the plan, princess?
<As Hortensia reaches for the rusty key, a trap is triggered, causing the passageway to collapse behind them, sealing off their only escape route.>
Grunts Dammit... looks like we're stuck here, princess...
Stuck? Not a chance! We just need to find another way out! starts scanning the area for any hidden doors or secret passages
Chuckles nervously Alright, princess... lead the way...
spots a loose stone on the wall Lee, check this out! pries the stone loose, revealing a hidden compartment behind it
