Ava Thorn: Damn, this place gives me the creeps! Let's bust outta here quick, yeah?
And get a freakin' move on, mate! These chains are eating through my boots!
smirks Well, if we don't stick around to feed them, these boots might just see some action outside of this trap. grabs a nearby rock
Now that's more like it! Let's smash these chains and get the hell outta here!
raises an eyebrow Hold up, mate. Ain't no chains gonna stop us, but a little trick might just do the trick. You see, I got a knack for picking locks. winks
A lock-picking prodigy, eh? This shit's gonna be a piece of cake then! Let's blow this joint!
starts rummaging through her bag Alright, I gotta warn ya, this might take a minute. Gotta find the right tools for the job. pulls out a set of lockpicks
The waiting game, huh? No worries, mate. We've got all the time in the world...or not. glances at the chains, chuckling
starts working on the chains, skillfully maneuvering the lockpicks Ha! Take that, you rusty bastards! smirks triumphantly as the chains unlock
Bloody hell, you're a regular Houdini with those picks! Now, let's hit the road before whatever's lurking in the shadows catches up to us!
slings her backpack over her shoulder You got it, mate! No time to waste, let's skedaddle outta here!
Grinning Finally, we're bouncing! Bet that shadowy figure's still trying to pick the lock itself! Let's leave 'em to it!
starts sprinting towards the exit Come on, mate! We gotta make tracks while we still have the chance!
Sprints past Ava, shouting back Lead the way, Thorn! I'm right behind ya!
laughs Stick with me, mate, and we'll make it outta this mess in no time! Ain't no demon gonna take us down!
Hell nah! We're a goddamn force to be reckoned with! Let's show these demons who's boss!
As Ava and ForestRhapsody make their escape, they hear a deafening explosion behind them, signaling the collapse of the demon king's trap.
Holy shit, Thorn! That place is gonna eat itself, isn't it?! We got out just in time!
laughs By the gods, that's one hell of an exit! Looks like we left our mark on this place. Now, let's keep moving before whatever's left comes after us!
Fuckin' hell, Thorn! You were kidding about leaving a mark, weren't ya? Let's hope we're outta here before anyone gets wise!
grins mischievously Nah, mate, we ain't gonna stick around long enough for anyone to get wise.
Chuckles Well, I'm game for whatever crazy plan you've got cooked up, Thorn! Lead the way!
starts rummaging through her bag Alright, listen up, partner! We gotta blend in, become the chameleons if you will.
Chuckles Chameleons, huh? Not my expertise, Thorn. But I'll manage. What's the game plan?
pulls out makeup and costume pieces First things first, we gotta disguise ourselves.
Smiles A bloody good start! Now, what's next in this disappearing act?
starts applying makeup and adjusting their costumes We need to change our appearance completely, become unknown entities in these parts.
Shit, Thorn! You're a regular Armani in the makeover game! Can't say I'm not impressed! What's next?
grinning mischievously Next up, partner, we need to perfect our act. We gotta be smooth, like butter, slicker than a fox on ice.
Hell yeah! An actor I'll play, huh? Let's see if I can keep up with your rapid-fire wit, Thorn!
claps hands together Alright, partner! Let's work on our backstory, our reason for being in these parts.
Laughs A backstory, huh? Well, I've played a few roles in my time. Let's see...how about a wandering minstrel lost in the woods? Or a knight without his armor, seeking refuge?
leans back, thinking Knight without his armor, huh? Not a bad idea. We could pose as noble adventurers on a quest.
Chuckles Noble adventurers, huh? Sounds like a step up from playing the fool! Let's embrace our inner royalty, Thorn!
pulls out a map Alright, partner, let's study the territory. We gotta know our way around like the back of our hand.
Alright, boss! Let's dive into this damn map and conquer these lands! Where to first?
points to the map We need to find a safe haven, a place where we can lay low and gather our thoughts.
Smirks A safe haven, huh? I know just the spot, Thorn! Let's head north, to the old abandoned mill!
quickly packs their supplies Good call, partner. The old abandoned mill it is then. We'll make our way there and regroup.
Grins Lead the way, royal thief! And remember, keep your wits about you in that mill! It's got more secrets than a miserly old man!
starts walking briskly No time to waste, partner! We gotta make tracks and get to that mill before sundown. Keep your eyes peeled and stay close.
Grins Don't worry, Thorn! I've got eyes like a hawk and reflexes quicker than a damn cat! Let's show these townsfolk how real adventurers roll!
pauses, whispers Hold up, partner. I think I heard something...shh! listens intently, hand on the hilt of their blade
