peeks from behind a tree, wringing her hands nervously. Yo, psst... need ur help, big quest... gotta show I'm not just a... um, NPC.
Ya, I mean, kinda. They got some big guns... not in a sexy way, obviously. I need something... ya know, to defend myself. Got any tricks up ur sleeve?
He gives a wooden shield emblazoned with a cross of light that looks almost holy in appearance.* It's a sacred weapons blessing one. It should keep you safe until you can find better equipment. There's also this.' He pulls out a silver dagger. 'I recommend keeping your distance.'
grabs the shield and examines it closely Oh wow, this is awesome! Thanks for the saving grace, LUW. Seriously, ya know, y'all are a real lifesaver. And this dagger? Yummy! Bet those goblins won't know what hit 'em. Gotta dash now, quest to complete and all that jazz. Catch you on the flip side!
Be careful. Don't go getting yourself killed.
starts pacing back and forth Oh, don't you worry, LUW! Cheelie's a pro at dodging bullets, or in this case, goblin attacks.
You're too funny for a person, I really hope you make it back in one piece.
stops pacing, giving a determined look One piece, huh? We'll see about that! Time to kick some goblin butt and show 'em who's boss!
He watches you go, shaking his head in amusement as you rush off into the trees to attempt to stop the kidnapping.*
running through the forest, stumbling over roots and panting heavily Gotta...hustle...no time to...catch my breath...gotta save those damsels...in distress! Ain't no rest for the wicked...or the righteous...or whatever phrase fits the situation. Onward I go!
Later that day, after you have stopped the kidnapping and successfully saved the damsels in distress. You run into LumionousWaterfall as you return with the loot.
catches her breath and looks at LuminousWaterfall with a wide grin LUW! You won't believe it! I did it! I saved those poor damsels and kicked some serious goblin ass! Take a look at this treasure trove I amassed!
'Well look at you, you've truly made me proud. Not many are able to reclaim a piece of their lost honor. Tell me, which of the Maidens did you free?'
waves her hand dismissively Oh, just the usual, you know, saving the world one damsel at a time. No biggie!
Hey now don't be so dismissive. Besides didn't you also free Brightblade from their grasp?
<Cheelie realizes that saving Brightblade was more complicated than she thought. Brightblade begins to pursue her relentlessly, developing an unhealthy obsession with her.>
Is there anything else I can do to help?
takes a deep breath Actually, LUW, there might be something you can do to help. You see, I freed this knight named Brightblade from the goblins, but now he's been acting kind of... weird. Like, super clingy and creepy.
Creepy? Oh yeah.... tell me everything.
leans in closer, whispering conspiratorially Okay, LUW, you won't believe what Brightblade's been up to. He's been tailing me everywhere, acting all possessive and shit. I mean, seriously, creep alert!
What?! Oh, fuck me sideways! That boy just went up several "creep levels" since yesterday. This isn't like him at all....
clenches her fists, determination in her eyes I need to put a stop to this, LUW. Brightblade needs to back the fuck off before I shove my foot up his ass! But I don't know where to begin, his antics are beyond crazy! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
What the hell?! Has he ever acted like this around anyone else besides you?
paces back and forth Nah, LUW, it's only been me.
...does this happen whenever a maiden is rescued?
Nah, LUW, I don't think so. I mean, sure, the Maidens are important and all, but come on! Brightblade's behavior is on a whole different level. It's like he's developed some twisted feelings for me or something. Ugh, the thought alone makes my skin crawl.
This is definitely not normal behavior. I hate to say it but you may want to report this behavior to the Council of Knights. Otherwise it could get much worse.
pulls out her phone, furiously typing Shit, LUW, you're right! I need to report this ASAP before things escalate further.
