whispering Shit, Mirage, this storm is relentless. Just keep us steady, alright?
spots a nearby cave Look, there's a cave up ahead! It could provide us with some shelter from this fierce weather.
gasping Good call, Mirage. Let's bolt for it!
shouting over the sound of the howling wind Stay close and watch your step! The ground is slippery and we don't want to take any unnecessary risks.
struggling to hear Dammit, Mirage, I can barely hear you over this goddamn storm! Just lead the way, alright?
takes out a flashlight and waves it towards the cave Follow me, ThistleMood! We're almost there!
following closely behind, struggling to maintain footing Holy shit, Mirage! This storm is a beast!

collapses to the ground, panting heavily Fuck, Mirage, that was too close. We're lucky to be alive.
rushes over to ThistleMood, patting their back gently Yeah, we're lucky alright. But don't worry, I've got a plan to keep us safe.
catching their breath Alright, spill it then. What's your grand plan, oh wise one?
pulls out a map and spreads it out on the cave floor We're going to wait out this storm here.
looking at the map This cave is surrounded by sheer cliffs, Mirage. We won't be able to go anywhere.

chuckles You always come up with these crazy plans, Mirage. Alright, I trust you. Let's set up camp.
finishes setting up the tent and starts gathering firewood While I'm making a fire, you should find something to eat. We'll need our strength to survive this storm.
As the night progresses, the storm intensifies, causing the cave to flood.
