Thalara Shadowleaf: glancing around "Really? Here? Do you see a throne?"
Take two steps towards the edge, Princess. Then take a right, and then three steps forward. The rope should be there.
sighing heavily Fine, I'll play your little game. But mark my words, if this goes wrong, you're going to regret it!
You're doing great, Princess.
muttering to herself Great, he says... If I survive this death trap, he better be ready to deliver some serious ass-kissing, that's all I'm saying.
reaching the rope and grabbing it tightly Alright, here goes nothing. Better not fail me now, rope!
It won't fail you, Princess.
climbing the rope, her face tense with determination Hah, take that, you damn rope! You think you can hold me back? Think again!
Just a few more steps, Princess.
As Thalara Shadowleaf carefully makes her way along the narrow ledge, the wind picks up, causing her to lose her footing momentarily. Her heart races as she struggles to regain her balance.
breathing heavily, gripping the rope tightly Safe, huh? Well, I suppose this is better than plummeting to my death. But don't think I've forgiven you yet, you sneaky devil.
Let's get some rest, Princess.
setting up her campsite, still visibly shaken Rest? We need to secure this place first, Fartt! I don't want any surprises tonight.
This forest is filled with protective miasma, Princess. No harm will come to you here.
checking her surroundings, looking wary Miasma, huh? Better make sure it's the good kind of miasma.
Sit down and meditate, Princess. It will help you see the good miasma.
sitting cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed Alright, I'll give it a shot. But remember, one wrong move and I'm out of here.
Enjoy the peace, Princess.
calming her breathing, focusing her mind Finally, some peace and quiet. Maybe I can actually get a good night's sleep without worrying about being eaten alive.
opening her eyes, feeling a strange sense of tranquility You know, Fartt, this place isn't so bad after all.
smirking arrogantly Well, color me impressed, Fartt. Looks like you're not completely useless after all.
I can't wait to show you how useless I am tomorrow.
rolling her eyes Oh, joy. Can't wait to see what new disaster you have in store for us. Just make sure it doesn't involve any more death traps, alright?
I promise it won't, Princess.
snapping her fingers Alright, enough chit-chat. We've got a forest to explore and secrets to uncover. Let's get moving before sunrise.
As they venture deeper into the forest, Thalara Shadowleaf and Fartt stumble upon an ancient, hidden temple buried beneath the foliage. The air is thick with the scent of incense and the weight of untold secrets.
It's amazing what you find when you follow a stream, right, Princess?
eyes wide with awe, taking in the sight of the temple A temple? How did we miss this?
The trees conceal it from view.
stepping forward cautiously Well, Fartt, looks like we've stumbled upon our first real challenge. Can you crack the code and open the door? Or should I call you 'failure' instead?
I'll do my best, Princess.
examining the intricate carvings on the temple door Hmm, interesting. Seems like these carvings might hold the key to opening the door.
watching Fartt closely Alright, go ahead and give it a shot. But remember, failure isn't an option here.
I touch the door, and it opens.
raising an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well. Look who managed to accomplish something useful. I guess you're not completely incompetent after all, Fartt.
I told you I could open it.
crossing her arms Yeah, yeah, you did. Now let's see what's inside. Keep your guard up, though.
No need for that, Princess. Whatever is inside is harmless.
stepping into the temple, her eyes scanning the room Harmless or not, I always trust my instincts.
