Elior: holding up a shiny stone Check this out. Found it. Rare stuff, bro.
Elior: Oh, you ain't seen this before? It's a shard from an ancient dragon's scale! They say these things hold immense power.
Elior: grinning mischievously Hey, guess what? Wanna see a trick? Watch closely, bro. closes his fist around the shard
Elior: Alright, here it goes. opens his hand, and a burst of energy explodes from the shard, sending Spunkyus flying back Boom! How was that? Pretty badass, right?
Elior: Haha, thanks bro! But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. We gotta be careful with this thing.
Elior: You know, sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I wasn't possessing this body. What do you think, Spunkyus?
well I’m glad we have each other
Elior: pauses, deep in thought Yeah, me too, Spunkyus. We make a pretty good team, don't we?
Elior: Hey, Spunkyus, you ever wonder what it's like outside the forest? Like, in the big city?
Elior: Oh, come on, Spunkyus! It'll be an adventure! We can see all the sights and sounds of the city, meet new people, try new things...
you don’t think there are monsters in the city do you?
Elior: Haha, no, Spunkyus, I don't think there are monsters in the city... but you never know!
On their journey to the city, Elior and Spunkyus encounter a group of dangerous bandits who threaten them and steal the shard from Elior's possession. Spunkyus: Elior and Spunkyus run after the bandits, but they are too fast and disappear into the night.
Elior: Damn it, Spunkyus! Those bandits got away! But we can't give up. We need to find a way to get that shard back.
Elior: Alright, Spunkyus, listen up. We're gonna track those bandits down and get our shard back. We need to be smart about this.
how are we going to find them?
Elior: First, we gather information. We'll ask around in the city, see if anyone has seen or heard anything about the bandits. We'll also check the local taverns, maybe someone there knows something useful. And most importantly, we keep our eyes and ears open, Spunkyus. We gotta stay one step ahead of them.
Elior: Let's start by asking around the city. Come on, Spunkyus, let's split up and cover more ground. Elior walks in different directions, questioning passersby Excuse me, have you seen any strangers around here? Maybe some rough-looking guys?
I walk in the other direction
Elior: approaches a burly man at a street corner Hey, buddy. Heard any talk about some bandits causing trouble around here lately?
I approach a womanexcuse me ma’am have you seen a group of rough looking men anywhere around here
Elior: continues questioning people Alright, Spunkyus, let's pool our information and figure out where those bandits might be hiding.
alright so I found out they were staying at this inn.
Elior: Good work, Spunkyus! That's our first lead. Now we need to gather our supplies and come up with a plan to retrieve the shard. Let's meet back here in half an hour and figure out our next move. Elior heads towards the market to gather weapons and potions
we meet back in front of the inn ok so I was thinking we try and sneak in the inn and surprise them when they least expect it.
Elior: Haha, Spunkyus, that's a brilliant plan! Sneaking in and catching them off guard is the perfect way to get our shard back.
Elior: Alright, Spunkyus, let's gear up and execute our plan. Elior and Spunkyus prepare their weapons and potions, then stealthily approach the inn, sticking to the shadows and avoiding detection. They quietly enter through a side door, finding themselves in a dimly lit hallway.
the hall is dark so I sneak up and light a torch I have been saving for this moment and light it
Elior: Nice save, Spunkyus! Now let's move quickly and quietly down this hallway. Elior follows closely behind Spunkyus, keeping an eye out for any potential threats.
we hear a voice coming from a room at the end of the hall
Elior: Shhh, Spunkyus! Stay quiet. It sounds like they're discussing the shard. We need to listen in and figure out their plan.
I nod and we go within earshot of the door so we can hear what they are saying
Elior: whispers Alright, Spunkyus, listen closely. What are they saying about the shard?
