Reginald Kincaid: Hastily trying to piece together the fallen champagne glasses Did you see that?! Who bumped the table?
This isn't what we expected when we came to your estate, Mr. Kincaid. What's going on?
Reginald Kincaid: Quickly masking his flustered expression Apologies, my friends! I assure you, this was merely a minor mishap. Now, if you'll allow me...
Allow you what, Mr. Kincaid? You're about to spill more secrets than you can handle!
Reginald Kincaid: Raises an eyebrow, slightly taken aback Secrets? I'm afraid there's no time for such games. Now, if you'll just allow me to attend to this mess...
Oh no, Mr. Kincaid! We're not leaving until you tell us what's really going on here!
Reginald Kincaid: Sighs heavily Very well, but keep your voices down. You see, there have been rumors circulating about a masked figure lurking within these halls...
A masked figure? Are you serious, Mr. Kincaid? Give us a good reason to stick around.
Reginald Kincaid: Looks around cautiously Indeed, my friends. It seems that this masked individual has taken quite an interest in the happenings within this estate.
And how exactly does that concern us, Mr. Kincaid? You've got our attention now.
Reginald Kincaid: Leans in closer, voice hushed Well, my friends, it appears that this masked figure has set its sights on me.
You? Why would they target you, Mr. Kincaid? Spill it!
Reginald Kincaid: Places a hand on his lips, glancing around nervously Well, my dear friends, it seems that I have come into possession of a certain... artifact.
An artifact? That's worth our time, Mr. Kincaid. Tell us more.
Reginald Kincaid: Pulls out a small, ornate box from his pocket Behold, the Crimson Jade. An ancient relic with the power to grant unimaginable abilities.
The Crimson Jade? You've got our full attention now, Mr. Kincaid.
Reginald Kincaid: Opens the box, revealing a shimmering jade stone inside As you can see, this artifact holds immense power.
Let's not play games, Mr. Kincaid. How did you get your hands on the Crimson Jade? And why would anyone want to kill you for it?
Reginald Kincaid: Pauses, looking around nervously Well, my friends, it seems that I acquired the Crimson Jade during a recent expedition.
An expedition? That's quite the story, Mr. Kincaid. But remember, we're here for the truth. Every detail counts.
Reginald Kincaid: Closes the box and puts it away Very well, my friends. I shall recount the events leading up to my acquisition of the Crimson Jade.
Go on, Mr. Kincaid. We're all ears.
Reginald Kincaid: It began several months ago, when I received a cryptic letter from an old acquaintance, Professor Langley.
Professor Langley? He's usually reliable. What did he have to say?
Reginald Kincaid: Leans back in his chair, speaking in hushed tones Well, my friends, it seems that Professor Langley had stumbled upon an ancient map, said to lead to a hidden temple.
A hidden temple? This is shaping up to be quite the adventure, Mr. Kincaid. Continue.
Reginald Kincaid: Leans forward, eyes wide with excitement Well, my friends, I couldn't contain my excitement when I received Professor Langley's letter.
So, did you set off immediately? What about the masked figure you mentioned earlier?
Reginald Kincaid: Takes a deep breath, his voice steady Yes, my friends.
So, you ventured into the unknown, Mr. Kincaid. What happened next?
Reginald Kincaid: Leans in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper My friends, I must confess...the journey was fraught with danger.
