brushes off dust from the artifact Fuck me sideways, found the bitchin' thing. Ready to raise some hell?
you give him a nod We're here for ONE thing!
raises an eyebrow And what might that be, partner? Don't keep me hangin' here.
laughs menacingly Revenge, huh? Well, you've come to the right place. Let's show these old ruins who's boss!
Don't even THINK about betraying me, again! Understand?! Echoes shout echoing throughout the caverns of the ruins
pauses, looks into EmberEcho's eyes Look, I know I fucked up before. I let my own demons consume me.
Betrayal scars can take centuries to heal, sometimes they never do.. But if we do this right.. It might be worth it..
grips the artifact tightly I'm done running. It's time to face my past head-on. With this artifact, we'll bring down those who wronged us.
So where is this thing we came here for anyway? holds up a silver skull mask, slightly smaller than a basketball This should make our entrance count.
smirks Now that we have the artifact, it's time to put our plan into action. Let's head deeper into the ruins and find the entrance to their lair.
That dark elf won't know what hit 'em.. Let's do this! Lead the way!
steps forward confidently Alright, partner. Follow my lead and stay close. We're about to show these dark elves what we're made of.
they stumble upon the sleeping giant or his lair Oh boy.. Here we go..
whispers Alright, listen up. We need to be quick and precise. Take out the guards quietly, then make our way to the inner sanctum.
narrows his eyes There should be four guards at the entrance. Two on each side, keeping watch. We need to take them out silently.
Eight eyes.. Hmmm. You distract them while I get into position. When I say "kite"... You swoop back. Got it?
nods Got it. I'll create a distraction while you set up. On the count of three, we strike. One... Two... Three!
she silently approaches and stabs each guard before covering their mouths with her right hand and dragging them deeper into the depths of the ruin as the shout of surprise is heard
takes a deep breath, looking around Alright, partner. We've got a momentary reprieve. Let's move quickly and quietly through the next section.
scans the area, looking for any signs of traps There should be a pressure plate trap ahead. We need to find a way to disable it without triggering it.
You would think for someone who controls time.. They'd have something better than a pressure plate...
spots a small crevice in the floor Wait! I think I found something. There's a hidden lever right here.
Interesting.. Try it, but don't say I didn't warn you..
pulls the lever, causing the floor to rumble and the pressure plate trap to disengage Nice! That should buy us some time. Let's keep moving.
Got it.. Let's get the blood out of our hair and make sure we don't leave any trace.
pauses, listening intently Hold up. Do you hear that? Sounds like footsteps coming our way. We've got company.
Dark elf patrol.. Tell me when to move..
whispers Now! Move quickly and stay low. Follow my lead.
while moving, she drags her fingertips across the stone so they appear like ghostly animal tracks, leading away from their footprints
notices a concealed door behind a bookshelf Partner, look! There's a hidden door over there. Let's see what's inside.
Shit! They got traps set up this time! But they all seem pressure plate based. they enter Finally! Some treasure worth taking! They see a diamond over 6 feet long.. its sharp ends touching the floor Beautiful..
approaches the diamond cautiously, examining its length and sharpness Woah, this thing is massive!
The bigger the better.. right? she grabs it and it goes flying out of her hands.. falling into pieces, a cut opens up on her palm Dammit! Why hasn't there been any larger gemstones found?
rushes to EmberEcho's side, wrapping her injured hand with a bandage Easy there, partner. Let me take a look at that cut. We need to get you patched up before it gets infected.
the cave shakes violently, the structures above them begin shaking loose causing rocks to fall.. GET OUT OF HERE, NOW!!
grabs EmberEcho's hand and pulls her towards the exit Move your ass, Ember! We don't have time to waste. The whole damn place is coming down on us!
