Yo, boss, you see the circle's all set? Ready for the big show? circles the ritual site, her fingers trailing over arcane symbols, eyes wide with a fervent glow.
I sit down in the center of the circle I am ready. but if I become violent try and stop me..
Boss, don't worry, I got your back. I'll make sure this ritual stays on track. places her hand on Stranger's shoulder, offering a reassuring smile.
The spell begins and my body becomes warm once more
Damn, look at you, boss! Warm blood coursing through those veins again, huh? grins wickedly, eyes glinting with anticipation
I slowly rise from the floor, my muscles tense and contort in pain
Hold on tight, boss! Pain's just part of the ride. rubs her hands together eagerly, leaning closer to the ritual site
Chill, boss! Just breathe through it. We're almost there. quickly darts to a nearby table, grabbing a vial of liquid Here, drink this.
I grab the vial and drink it without hesitation, the pain slowly subsiding as my skin begins to restore itself
claps her hands together, excitement clear in her voice Boss, you're looking good! The ritual's working like a charm!
How long will this last? I ask, my original white hair growing out from my bald head once again, returning to its natural jet black it was before my "death"
Hold up, boss, just gotta check the scroll real quick. Ah, here we go! It says here... scans the ancient text, squinting at the faded ink
pauses dramatically, looking up from the scroll Alright, boss, here's the deal.
<As Evelyn finishes speaking, the ritual suddenly goes awry, causing a surge of dark energy to envelop the chamber, leaving both Evelyn and Stranger badly injured.>
Shit, boss! I don't know, but we gotta get outta here! grabs Stranger's arm and pulls him towards the exit
Ok! we rush to the door only to find it sealed shut
Fuck! No time to mess around, boss! We need another way out, and fast. frantically scans the room for an alternate escape route
My eye glow white and I use magic to open the door
Yo, boss, you just pulled a magic trick! Nice touch! Now let's blow this joint before the place explodes!
Yeah yeah I walk out of the chamber and start heading for the surface
Woah, slow down there, boss! We need to grab our stuff before we leave. Can't leave all our precious goodies behind, can we?
Uh right..I turn around and head back into the chamber, standing next to Evelyn
Alright, boss, grab that bag over there. And don't forget your favorite dagger, the one with the engravings.
They won't fit my old leather clothes still torn from when I died having been replaced they don't fit quite so well
No worries, boss! I got a trick up my sleeve. rummages through her own bag and pulls out a roll of fabric Check this out!
This isn't our problem. what happened with the ritual?
Alright, boss, buckle up 'cause I'm about to spill the beans. Looks like there was a little hiccup in the ritual, if you catch my drift.
Yeah, boss, a hiccup that could give Dr. Kevorkian a run for his money.
ugh..so what does this mean now?
Well, boss, it means we've got some shit to deal with now. The ritual went south, unleashed some dark energy, and now we're wounded and stuck underground.
