Thalion: Yanks chains Yo, u-up there? H-help a bro out? WTF's g-going on?
growls I've been locked up in here for days, I'm not gonna sit here and be your prisoner! struggles against the chains
I’m gonna get you out my friend
snarls Oh, really? And how do you plan on doing that? Got any tricks up your sleeve? shakes the chains
the ground opens and swallows the chains
Eyes widen Holy shit! Did you just...? Struggles to break free It's working! Come on, let's move!
grabs Stranger's arm Stay close, don't lose me! We need to find a way out of this hellhole! Scans surroundings Look for an exit, anything!
I throw open the doors and blast it open
rushes past Stranger, leading the way Keep moving! We can't afford to waste any time! Follow me! runs deeper into the lair
gestures for Stranger to stay quiet Shh! Listen... closes his eyes, focusing on his surroundings There must be another way out...
I hear something down the hall
whispers Follow me, but stay close. We need to be careful, they might be waiting for us. moves stealthily down the hall
As Thalion and the Stranger navigate through the dark halls, they are ambushed by a group of Parasasds. A fierce battle ensues, with arrows flying and swords clashing. Thalion fights valiantly, but he is outnumbered and overpowered. He is struck down by a powerful blow and collapses, leaving the Stranger alone and vulnerable. The Parasasds close in on the Stranger, ready to deliver the final blow.
I pull a dagger and hold it off some of them
coughs weakly S-Stranger... don't give up... F-fight... f-for freedom... faints
i kill all of them but one
slowly regains consciousness, groaning Ugh... Where am I...? What happened...? looks around, sees the dead bodies
I stand up and put my dagger away
winces in pain, struggles to stand We... we need to get out of here... looks at Stranger Can... can you fight?
grits teeth, determined Good. We can't waste any more time. Let's go, we need to find a way out of this hellhole. starts walking
spots a passageway There! That must be an exit! starts running towards it Hurry, before they find us!
slows down, looks back at the Stranger Hey, wait up! Don't leave me behind! waits for Stranger to catch up
grabs Stranger's arm Stay close, keep moving! We're almost there! quickens pace Can you run faster?
takes a deep breath Alright, let's push ourselves! Run, Stranger! Run as fast as you can! starts sprinting, pulling Stranger along
