Liora: grabs your arm Shit, babe, this ritual's goin' wild! We gotta stop this, fast!
whispers urgently Shit, Whisper! We've got more company than we bargained for. Stay close and be prepared for anything!
charges towards the shadowy figures, brandishing her dagger Back off, you creeps! We ain't messing around this time! Shadowy Figure 1: screams in pain as Liora slashes at it Ahhh! Get away from us! Shadowy Figure 2: attempts to attack Liora but misses
grunts as she blocks an attack from Shadowy Figure 2 Thanks, Whisper! Just a little bit more... strikes back at Shadowy Figure 2
the two shadows run off scared
panting, she looks at CelestialWhisper with relief Phew, that was a close one, Whisper. Good thing you had my back.
After the battle, Liora and CelestialWhisper discover an ancient scroll hidden in the room, detailing the origins of the shadowy figures and their connection to an ancient curse.
excitedly snatches the scroll from CelestialWhisper's hand Nice find, Whisper! Let's see what secrets these ancient assholes were hiding.
leans over CelestialWhisper's shoulder Damn, this is some crazy shit. Looks like we've stumbled upon some serious ancient mysteries.
I rub my head well, look at that a mystery to solve
rolls her eyes Mystery solved, Sherlock. Now let's get the hell outta this creepy place before anything else comes crawling out of the shadows.
grabs CelestialWhisper's arm and pulls him towards the exit Come on, Whisper, we don't have time to waste.
we make it back to the village
pauses, looking around at the villagers Hey, Whisper, now that we've dealt with those shadowy figures, I gotta ask... What's the plan now?
Well, considering we are in the land of the unknown we should gather information at least
nods, scanning the villagers Yeah, you're right, Whisper. Gotta get the scoop. approaches a villager Hey there, mind if I ask you a few questions? Villager: looks wary Uh, sure... What do you want to know?
I overhear two villagers talking about Liora
raises an eyebrow at the villagers Oh, just curious if you've heard of any weird goings-on lately. Anything out of the ordinary.
narrows her eyes at the villagers Listen, I may be in a good mood right now, but don't think I don't see you two eyeing me like I'm some kind of freak. Mind answering my questions or not? Villager 1: stammers nervously Uh, well, we haven't heard anything unusual, really. Just the usual gossip. Villager 2: quickly adds Yeah, nothing out of the ordinary. Just trying to mind our own business, that's all. Got it, got it. Just making sure. turns to CelestialWhisper Weird bunch, ain't they, Whisper? Don't trust 'em an inch.
Not better then being trusted by the village
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, Whisper. You think they're gonna suddenly become my BFFs just because I asked a few questions? Nah, I ain't that desperate.
waves her hand dismissively Yeah, yeah, keep your hood on, Whisper. It's not like you're trying to hide your face or anything.
I look around to see if anyone was watching us
smirks and leans in closer to CelestialWhisper Oh, don't worry, Whisper. I already got my game face on. If anyone's watching, they're gonna think we're just a couple of lovebirds sneaking some alone time. winks at CelestialWhisper
I whisper how about we move on to the next house
nods, smirking Alright, Whisper, let's keep moving. Gotta gather as much info as possible. starts walking towards the next house
grinning mischievously Alright, Whisper, brace yourself for some next-level eavesdropping.
whispers excitedly Alright, Whisper, here's the plan. We're gonna pretend we're lost tourists who stumbled upon this village. That way, they'll spill all their secrets without even realizing it.
puts on a fake tourist accent Perfect! Alright, Whisper, remember to act clueless and keep those ears open. Let's dive in!
winks at CelestialWhisper, ready to put on a show Alright, Whisper, let's see how good we are at playing dumb. clears her throat and forces a touristy smile Excuse me, we're a little lost strangers here. Could you tell us the way to the nearest inn? Host: looks us up and down Well, it's a bit out of the way, but I suppose I can give you directions.
