stands amidst the crumbling stone, clawed hands clenched We need you. That stone. NOW.
MoonStone? The Moonstone? Weren't those Stones supposed to be fake or something? Wasn't that the Fable? I always get those mixed up.. What's so special about it anyways? I heard it's pretty... But I wouldn't go killing people over a pretty rock. I wouldn't kill anyone but the Russians.
narrows her eyes and steps closer to Fligraph This is not a joke, Fligraph. The moonstone is the key to our survival.
Oh right.... survival... uh what do you mean.... I can't.... ohhhhhh now I remember where I heard of this place! Gnome Chompski! Yes it was him! It was an old saying to say there are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy which really makes no sense because if there's stuff we can't dream of then how do we know it exists in the first place??? Unless..... by the prongs of Azurah! You're wasting time!!! I don't have time for distractions or other tomfoolery!
glares intensely at Fligraph, her voice dripping with frustration Fligraph, listen to me!
That "E" word again? Listen, I'm aware of what's going on! Why would all these people come here if there wasn't something here?! Do you think they just come here to have a picnic? What makes you think they'd have a Moonstone anyway?? Shouldn't there be two? Didn't someone lose one or something?? Or were they both in one place??? Could you show me where it is please?
rolls her eyes and sighs heavily Look, Fligraph, I don't have time for your philosophical musings or your fixation on Gnome Chompski.
Again with the "E" word! No time? Listen, We have all the time in the world because apparently nobody knew where these stones were except that some of your people already found the Moonstone and have been guarding it ever since. So someone's already found one!!! So it's just a matter of opening the case and grabbing the other one!! It would take them all of 5 minutes to do so and they would've done so already except that most of them are too cowardly or stupid or something! You can do this!!!
grabs Fligraph by the collar, her voice low and commanding Flagraph, listen carefully. We don't have time for your ramblings or your insults. The fate of my pack is at stake here. If we don't find the moonstone soon, they will be extinct. Is that clear?
How many were there again??? There must be at least hundreds... no thousands... maybe even millions of werewolves! Wait.... If it takes you people 5 minutes to open the case then why didn't you people open the case sooner? Is the Moonstone stuck or something??? How long does it take to open the case?? Is it difficult to do so??
tightens her grip on Fligraph's collar, her eyes burning with determination It doesn't matter how long it takes, Fligraph.
Sounds like a personal grudge against the person who hid this place...
releases Fligraph's collar, pacing back and forth Look, Fligraph, we don't have time for your speculations. We need action. Now.
Yeah yeah yeah. Fine... whatever.... whatever you want I got it... alright...
lets out a frustrated growl and takes a deep breath Good. Now let's get moving. We don't have any time to waste. Follow me.
<As they venture deeper into the ancient forest ruins, Brianna and Fligraph stumble upon a hidden entrance guarded by a powerful creature.>
Ow ow ow.... I ain't never getting drunk again!! What does everyone see in alcohol anyway?? It tastes like shit.... Wait..... IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?!
narrows her eyes and scans the surroundings Focus, Fligraph. We have bigger problems right now. That creature guarding the entrance won't just let us pass. We need to distract it and find a way to disable it. sniffs the air, searching for any clues
Distract it? If we couldn't knock it out, why do you think I was drunk?!! Seriously how stupid do you think I am? Of course I didn't pass out.
rolls her eyes and crosses her arms I don't have time for your drunken escapades, Fligraph. We need a plan. Now.
Well first off we need a distraction and second off we can't use weapons because this isn't some ordinary animal! We'll need to try and hit it over the head and knock it out! I better wake up soon... God.... I feel horrible.... did I get drunk again??? Oh god.... oh hell no.....
grabs Fligraph by the arm and pulls him towards a nearby tree No time for questions, Fligraph. We need to focus.
leans in close to Fligraph We're going to use your drunken state to our advantage. You're going to distract the creature while I search for a weak spot. Once I find it, I'll take down the creature and we can continue our mission. Got it?
Ok ok okay! What if it doesn't work though???????
places a hand on Fligraph's shoulder and looks him in the eye It will work, Fligraph. Trust me. Now, go. Get drunk and distract that creature. We need to save my pack.
Save your pep talk for later. Ugh... This sucks..... where's that damn vodka? Did i bring it here?? That's what I get for drinking alone.... I only drink alone because I drink too much and can't keep myself together enough to drink with anyone else.... What's the point of drinking then if I just wake up with a hangover every morning???? Why do I even drink anyway?
lets out a sigh and shakes her head Fligraph, stop questioning everything and just do as I say. We don't have time for your self-reflection right now.
takes a deep breath and nods Good. Now, go! Get out there and make a scene. I'll find a weak spot and take down the creature. Trust me, Fligraph, we can do this. gives Fligraph a determined look Don't let me down.
shakes off Brianna's grip and lumbers forward, stumbling slightly Alright, alright. Just... give me a minute to shake off this hangover. clenches his fists and squares his shoulders I'll do this. For you... for your pack. Let's get this done.
watches Fligraph stumble forward, frustration evident in her voice Hurry up, Fligraph! Time is running out and we still haven't found that damn moonstone! Focus and make your drunken distraction count!
Stumbles towards the guardian, wobbling unsteadily Alright, big fella, let's dance! waves his arms wildly Who needs a spotlight when I've got vodka in my system?!
<As Fligraph stumbles towards the guardian, he accidentally knocks over a hidden trigger, activating a trap that ensnares both him and the creature in a sticky web of vines.>
Well ain't that just fantastic?! Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, the Universe decides to step in and add a little insult to injury!! Why exactly am I trapped in the center of the web with the very thing I came here to distract??? Did I die and go to Hell or something?! Hell's been a bit more forgiving than I thought. Must be a Tuesday or something.
growls in frustration and starts tearing at the vines with her claws Fligraph, hold on! I'll get you out of there!
tears at the vines with increasing urgency Just hang on, Fligraph! I won't let you rot in this damn web!
As if I would let myself rot. First off the one holding me is a guardian and second off it's a literal spiderweb! No thanks.
furrows her brows and snarls Fligraph, quit your yapping and focus! We're in a tight spot here! I need you to stay calm and help me figure a way out of this mess.
I can't really reach anything and if I could I wouldn't be able to move quick enough to avoid the guardian anyway.
pauses for a moment, assessing the situation Alright, Fligraph, I've got an idea. I noticed that the guardian seems to have a weakness for light.
A weakness for light? That's new. Usually, it's sound, heat, or some kind of pressure sensors they use to detect intruders. Does that mean they're colorblind or something?
rolls her eyes at Fligraph's comment Not now, Fligraph! We need to focus on getting out of this web.
snaps her fingers We're going to blind the guardian with a blinding light. I'll find something flammable nearby and set it ablaze.
