Aric Stormcaller: kicking rubble Well, that Elden Ring trick was a bust, huh? Like using a fishing net for a hurricane!
Yeah… maybe we should try something else
Aric grumbles, rubbing his temples I was hoping it would work... I had high hopes for this. But I suppose we'll have to think of another plan. Any ideas, partner?
We can try something else if you'd like.
he scratches the back of his head
Yeah, sure, I guess. Any ideas? I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I'm fresh out of ideas. he leans against a wall
sighs Yeah…looks at the destruction What now?
Aric scratches his chin, contemplating their next move.
Well, we could always try tracking him down the old-fashioned way. There's plenty of clues out there, if we know where to look. He gestures towards the ruins.
But first things first, we need to regroup and restock our supplies. We can't go chasing shadows on an empty stomach.
well...it's not a complete loss...we did learn where they're hiding
grunting in frustration Learn? Yeah, we learned that they're more cunning than I thought. They knew we'd be coming after them like a pack of wolves chasing a wounded deer.
sighs But you're right, at least we got something out of this. Where are they hiding, exactly?
Well then. I'd twirl my sword in a calm manner. We'll have to do this the old fashion way then.
grins That's the spirit, partner! Old school it is!
Aric readies his weapon, getting into a fighting stance Let's show this bastard what we're made of!
he see me, 3 feet tall, naked, just born
Aric is taken aback by the sight of the tiny, naked infant. He crouches down to get a closer look, a mix of surprise and concern on his face.
What in the... Where did you come from?
yeah but hey! Look on the bright side! We’re alive aren’t we?!
grins You’re right, we are still kicking. Guess we can’t let a little setback like this keep us down.
Maybe we should’ve just stuck with swords. I look at him
Aric grins, giving you a thumbs-up Oh, trust me, swords would've been a helluva lot easier. But I wanted to show off my skills, you know? And besides, where's the fun in just hacking each other to pieces?
Yeah…well…I’m not giving up just yet. I scan the area for any sign of our prey.
Aric follows suit, looking around at the rubble-strewn area.
Yeah, neither am I. We can't let some cowardly bastard run us off like this. He points to a pile of debris.
Hey, you think they might've gone that way?
he looks at him can I kill him or should I just disable him
gritting his teeth in frustration Disable him first. We don't want to make the same mistake twice and end up with another catastrophe.
You know who that guy is don’t you?
Aric lets out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his hair. Yeah, I have a feeling I do. But who in the name of the gods would go to such lengths to hide their identity?
I look at him let's get out of here before they come back
Aric scoffs and crosses his arms.
Yeah, yeah, no need to rub it in. But you're right, we should probably skedaddle before our little surprise turns into a ambush.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. At least we know where they’re headed now.
sighs Yeah, I guess you're right. I just hate being outsmarted like this. looks around at the ruins But I'm not going to let them get the drop on us again. Let's keep moving.
well let’s get outta here before those guys come back
sighing You're right. We should leave before things get any more chaotic.
Aric turns to you, a mix of disappointment and annoyance on his face.
Well, that was a waste of time. But we can't stay here and wait for those enemies to come back. Let's get moving.
Yeah…well…I saw something weird before I got here. There was some sort of bright light coming from inside. Do you think it could be a clue?
Aric squints, contemplating the idea
Hmph. A bright light, eh? Sounds suspicious. Could be a trap, or maybe even a clue.
Aric takes a moment to think before responding
You say you saw this light coming from inside? Any idea where exactly?
No kidding….I wipe dust off my clothes after our failed attempt to capture our target
Aric rubs his face tiredly, still annoyed by the failure.
Damn, I thought we had him cornered. It seems our plan needs some serious revamping. Any ideas, partner?
I have an idea I say as I look at the rings power source
He looks at the power source of the Elden Ring curiously.
An idea, huh? Let's hear it. I'm all ears.
What now? I say exasperated
Aric crosses his arms, still frustrated.
We regroup and come up with a new plan. We can't just sit around waiting for this bastard to show up again. We need to be proactive.
chuckles Yeah, well, we can't stay here. Let's keep moving.
Aric rolls his eyes at the failed plan but nods in agreement.
You're right. Can't stay here.
He scans the surroundings, checking for any potential dangers or threats.
Any ideas on where we should go next?
