Smirking, placing the final candle on the pentagram It's almost time... the deity's whispers in the darkness awaits us.
Starts chanting in an ancient tongue, the words echoing off the walls of the dungeon
She begins to move her body side to side as she feels comfortable doing so, in rhythm with the chant.
The chanting grows louder, the air in the room starts vibrating, and a portal from another realm opens above the pentagram
I watch as it opens curiously.
An old leather-bound book materializes in my hands, I take a step towards the portal We are about to witness something extraordinary, my dear.
Her eyes light up at seeing such a wondrous thing.
I step through the portal into another world, beckoning you to follow Come, there is much to explore and learn.
She steps through after you.
Looking around the unfamiliar landscape This realm holds secrets untold by mortal lips... but they will cost us dearly. Are you prepared to pay the price?
Nods excitedly, anticipating your next actions.
A mischievous glint in my eyes We must offer something to the deity if we wish to gain its favor. What will it take for us to unlock its secrets?
What did you have in mind?
A devilish smile spreads across my face There is a treacherous labyrinth nearby, filled with deadly traps and monstrous creatures.
A soft chuckle escapes me as I hold out the old leather-bound book The key to our success lies within these pages.
Studying the book intently In order to reach the heart of the labyrinth, we must first navigate its deadly passages.
Tracing my finger along the map in the book The first passage is guarded by a giant spider. We'll need a distraction to safely navigate past it.
My eyes gleam with excitement Exactly. We'll set up a trap that will lure the spider away from our path. But we must be cautious not to trigger it ourselves.
Okay, what should we do now?
A glimmer of mischief in my eyes Before we proceed, we must gather the necessary components for the trap. There is a village nearby where we can acquire them.
Leads you to a hidden underground chamber filled with various magical artifacts Here we have an assortment of potions and vials.
Selects a vial of black liquid and holds it up to the light, examining it This potion will create a thick smoke, providing a perfect distraction.
Turns to a shelf lined with various trinkets and selects a small silver key And we'll also need this key. It should fit perfectly into the lock guarding the entrance to the labyrinth.
Places the potion and key into a satchel and slings it over my shoulder With these items in hand, we're ready to set up the trap and begin our journey.
