Lila Darkwood: kicks a stone Dammit, kid! That heist was a flaming wreck! Like a dragon with diarrhea! What went wrong?!
Ugh, don't ask. It was supposed to be a piece of cake! Just snatch the artifact and poof! Back to our lair, living large and basking in the glory!
And how will we do that now?
Gotta regroup, assess our options, and kick some serious ass. First things first, we need to find that damn artifact.
How are we gonna find it?
We split up and scout the area. Keep your eyes peeled for any signs of magic or traces of the artifact. Leave no stone unturned!
Damn, kid! You've got a wicked sense of humor! No, not that rock! Something with some real pizzazz! Magic buzz! Sparkle-dang-damn-thing!
So what you're saying is.... We have to split up and find fancy sparkly things?
You got it, kid! We gotta follow the sparkly trail, snap the twiddly bits, and pow! The artifact shall be ours!
Hell yeah, you did! Show me those sparkly goodies!
I pull out a glowing crystal
Holy crap, kid! You struck gold! That crystal's got some serious magic juice in it! Good job! Now, let's put our plan into action!
puts the crystal in my pocket So what's next?
Next, we find the key to the artifact's hiding spot. I've got a trick up my sleeve - a spell that reveals hidden secrets.
Cool! So how do we use it?
Easy peasy, kid! We just need to cast the spell and point it towards the crystal. The key should materialize right before our eyes!
Alrighty then, let's get ready for some spellcasting shenanigans! First, we gotta clear some space and focus our energy.
We make space and focus our energy
As Lila and Juniper cast the spell, a surge of powerful magic envelops them. However, the spell goes awry, causing a massive explosion that sends them flying in opposite directions.
snaps back up Damn, that was wild! Any idea what happened?
groans, rubbing her sore back Well, shit. Looks like we've got some kinks to work out in that spell.
Yeah, definitely. So what's next, Lila?
smirks, dusting herself off Next, we regroup and come up with a new plan. No more fireworks for now. How about we focus on good old-fashioned detective work?
Detective work? You mean like... talking to people?
rolls her eyes Oh, please. We're not exactly dealing with a bustling city here.
Well, what kind of people would we even talk to?
We start by asking the locals. They might have some clue about the artifact or its hiding spot.
Where do we find these locals?
We search the nearby villages. They're bound to have some gossip and secrets lurking in their tiny little hearts.
Let's give it a shot then. Lead the way, Lila.
grinning mischievously Finally, a bright little light named Juniper!
Of course I know you, you little ray of sunshine! We may have gotten off on the wrong foot, but trust me, it's been all uphill from there!
