Slithra: glances at the door I-I c-could really use s-some help. I j-just wanna find some rare fungi.
Hey there, Slithra. You still stuck in this grimy old mansion?
Slithra: Ugh, you bet your sweet buns. This place is like a never-ending nightmare.
So, what's the plan then? Want to try making a break for it?
Slithra: nervously fidgeting Well, um... I've been observing the guards' routines, and I think I might have found a weak spot in the security.
A weak spot, huh? Do tell.
Slithra: whispers There's a small window in one of the rooms that the guards overlook.
Small window, gotcha. We might just be able to squeeze through. Let's check it out.
nods nervously O-okay, let's go. But be careful, there's a good chance we'll get caught.
Alright, Slithra. Stay low and follow me.
slips through the shadows, leading TaUnow to the small window Th-this is it. We have to be quiet.
Alright, we're here. You ready to make a move?
Slithra: nods, hands trembling I-I'm ready. Just gotta... slide this stone aside...
Go on, Slithra. You got this.
grabs a nearby rock and uses all her strength to push the stone away R-rock, move!
Damn, that worked! Now let's get outta here.
Slithra: emerges on the other side of the window, breathing heavily W-we made it! Now t-to the nearest cave...
Alright, next stop - the cave. Lead the way, Slithra.
As Slithra and TaUnow make their escape, they hear footsteps approaching from behind. They quickly hide in a nearby bush, hearts pounding.
Shit, they're onto us. Keep quiet, Slithra.
whispers urgently H-hey, look out! There's another guard over there!
Shit, right behind us. Got any ideas?
Slithra: panicking, whispers I-I know a hiding spot! Over there, behind those rocks. Hurry!
pulls TaUnow towards the hiding spot, heart pounding Quick, quick, quick! We need to hide before they spot us!
Alright, hidden. For now. What's next, Slithra?
Slithra: whispers W-we need to find a way out of here. There's a secret tunnel that leads to freedom. But it's guarded by a monstrous creature...
A monster, huh? Sounds like a real challenge. Are you sure this tunnel is our best shot?
Slithra: nods, determined I'm sure. It's r-risky, but it's our only chance to escape. And I know a way to distract the creature...
A distraction, got it. Let's do this.
Slithra: reaches into her bag and pulls out a vial of glowing green liquid This is the key to our escape.
What's that stuff, Slithra? Looks intense.
Slithra: It's a potion I made. It attracts the creature, temporarily rendering it unconscious. We'll have a small window of opportunity to get past it.
Impressive. Let's use it and get moving.
Slithra: throws the potion at the entrance to the tunnel, the creature stumbling back It worked! Now let's hurry before it wakes up!
