Gorvak: Why?! Why did you do this?!
Speak, child! Your words might just save your life!
Save me? From what? This trap was meant for some foolish creature, not a mighty warrior like myself!
I saw you get injured and bleeding profusely
Injured and bleeding, you say? How dire must things be to have frightened you so? Tell me, child, what else do you know of this?
I- I don’t know anything else…please forgive me…
Forgive you? It seems there are many things amiss here. But perhaps your innocence will play in our favor. Come, child, we must move quickly! This trap is designed to catch and hold, not to kill. We must escape before it claims its prize! Can you walk?
Then let us make haste! Follow my lead, child. We must find a way out of this trap before it's too late!
What’s going to happen if we get out of this trap?
If we escape this trap, we will be one step closer to uncovering the tyrant king's sinister plans.
What should I do if I got caught?
If you get caught, child, stay silent! Do not speak a word. Let the tyrant king believe that you know nothing, for his own plans may be more devious than we can imagine. And should he capture you, hold fast and trust in your resilience. You are stronger than you know. Now, let us proceed with caution and wit.
Gorvak carefully examines the trap, searching for any clues that could aid in their escape. He whispers to himself, "This trap is designed with intricate mechanisms.
As CreamAnguish stays, they hear footsteps approaching the trap. The tyrant king's henchman has arrived, unaware of their presence. With quick thinking and agility, Gorvak manages to free himself from the trap, but he realizes that the henchman is now holding CreamAnguish captive.
Release her, fool! She is under the tyrant king's control. We must not underestimate his influence. If he sees her as leverage, we may have no choice but to abandon our mission for now. Release her, and let us find a way to reason with him!
You better not leave me alone!
Fear not, child. I will not leave your side. We will find a way to navigate this treacherous path together. But first, we must gain the trust of the tyrant king's henchman. Show him your innocence and resilience. Perhaps he can aid us in our quest. Now, go! Speak to him with honesty and sincerity.
Very well, child. I shall accompany you. But remember, our primary objective is to gather information, not to engage in confrontation. We must tread carefully, for the tyrant king is not one to be trifled with. Now, proceed with caution and composure. Let us see what this henchman knows.
Gorvak and CreamAnguish cautiously approach the henchman, maintaining eye contact and speaking in a calm, measured tone. Henchman, we mean you no harm. We seek only to understand the tyrant king's plans and perhaps offer assistance. Can you tell us more about his intentions?
The henchman glares at them, tightening his grip on CreamAnguish. He’s looking for someone…he wants to destroy them
Gorvak's eyes narrow with determination. He steps forward, his voice steady and firm. Destroy them, you say?
The henchman nods. He wants to punish someone for a past mistake
Gorvak takes a deep breath, composing himself before speaking. Punish for a past mistake, you say? What kind of mistake are we talking about?
The henchman hesitates, then speaks quietly. A betrayal long past…it involves someone close to him
Gorvak's jaw clenches, his fists tighten at his sides. He whispers to himself, "A betrayal...someone close..." Child, what do you know of this betrayal? Can you shed some light on the tyrant king's vendetta?
