Y-you... y-you must listen, the-the prophecy, it's... imperative!
grabs LuminousRavine's shoulders, shaking him Listen! The spirits have chosen you! You're the one who can prevent the catastrophe!
frantically rummages through his satchel, pulling out various parchments and strange objects Y-you must gather these items! They're... they're key!
hands over a parchment with a crude map Find the Hidden Temple of Phlegethos! That's where the first artifact awaits!
clutches his chest, breathing heavily B-but beware... the temple is guarded by... by the Three-Faced Guardian! It's... it's ferocious!
Okay...I guess I gotta deal with it then.
pulls out a vial of murky liquid Take this... it's a potion of temporary invincibility! But be careful, it only lasts for ten minutes!
rummages through his satchel again, pulling out a handful of gold coins H-here, take these... should help you on your journey!
Oh my god, thanks, I guess..
pauses to catch his breath G-great! Now go! Y-y-you don't have much time! The f-fates are n-never wrong!
Right, wish me luck. starts walking to the temple
<As LuminousRavine embarks on their perilous journey to the Hidden Temple of Phlegethos, they encounter a group of bandits who ambush them, stealing their supplies and leaving them stranded in the wilderness.>
Damn it, now I gotta find some way to get those supplies back or find a place to craft new ones.
grabs LuminousRavine's arm, pulling him close W-wait! I-I can help! rummages through his pockets, pulls out a small bag of silver coins T-take these! It should be enough to bribe the bandits into giving you back your stuff!
...Thanks, I guess. Takes the coins
starts pacing back and forth Y-y-you have to be quick, LuminousRavine! Time is of the essence! Go to the nearest town, find the bandit hideout!
Right. runs off to the nearest town
grabs LuminousRavine's shoulders again R-r-remember! The bandits are cunning! Be cautious! Don't trust anyone! And whatever you d-d-do, D-don't f-fight fire with fire!
pulls out a small flask of dark liquid T-take this too... it's a p-potion of invisibility! Use it to s-sneak past the bandits undetected!
paces even faster G-g-good luck, LuminousRavine! R-r-remember, t-t-the prophecy d-d-depends on y-y-your success! D-don't f-f-fail us!!
starts counting on his fingers Alright, LuminousRavine, here's what you gotta do! First, find the leader of the bandits, the big guy with the scar across his face!
Got it...leader with a scar...
Y-y-you need t-t-to steal his sword! The s-s-sword is th-th-the key t-t-to defeating t-t-the Three-Faced G-g-Guardian! Don't h-h-hesitate, take i-i-it without hesitation!
Sword...Three-Faced Guardian...got it.
pauses for a moment, rubbing his temples I-i-if y-y-you're caught, just p-p-play along. M-m-make them b-b-believe you're one of them. Anything to get that sword!
