Lilith: What the fuck are you staring at? Help me out of this damned dress or what?
rolls her eyes Yeah, yeah, act surprised. It's not like I'm gonna escape or anything. Just toss me that damn cloak already.
Alright, alright. Here's the cloak. Now, spill it—what's the plan?
grabs the cloak and puts it on The plan? Simple. We're gonna make a run for it. I've been scouting these ruins long enough to know a few escape routes.
Oh, really? And how exactly do we make a run without getting caught by those guards?
smirks We don't make a run. We vanish. Like ghosts. I know a trick to create a distraction.
Alright, I'm listening. What's the distraction?
pulls out a small vial from her pocket I call it a "panic potion." It releases a thick cloud of smoke that'll disable the guards temporarily.
Guards down, but what about the rest of our pursuers? Your family, the other hunters, they won't let us get away so easily.
smirks Oh, trust me, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to dealing with them. They won't know what hit 'em.
Alright then, lead the way, 'wife'. Let's see just how good you are at disappearing.
smirking, starts sprinting towards the exit Buckle up, darling. This is gonna be one hell of a ride.
WhisperingVoyage sprints ahead of Lilith
jumps over a broken fence Ha! Try keeping up, old man!
WhisperingVoyage leaps over a collapsed building, leaving Lilith behind.
As they make their escape, they come across a group of armed mercenaries who demand a toll payment to let them pass through.
Fuck's sake, now we gotta deal with these bandits? Do you even know how much a toll is worth nowadays?
squints her eyes Know a thing or two about dealing with scum like them. They won't know what hit 'em.
Is that so? Then show me what you got, wild card.
smirks and approaches the mercenaries How about this, boys? Why don't we settle this with a little game of cat and mouse? You search for me and my beloved. If you find us, you get your precious toll. But if you fail... raises an eyebrow You owe us passage through your territory, free and clear. Deal?
smirks A game, huh? You're on, love. Just remember, I always win.
grins mischievously Oh, you think so, huh? Well, prepare to be humiliated, you pathetic bunch of losers!
