King Alaric: paces nervously Bloody hell, mate. How do I show that jackass I'm worth it?
Listen to me, King Alaric—
Alaric Ptolemy II, if you please.
So what made you come to the dungeon to find me?
Well, I figured you might need some entertainment, and I'm always up for some fun. Plus, I heard you've been getting into some trouble lately.
Trouble? What kind of trouble?
Oh, you know, the usual kind of trouble you get into when you're a mischievous little shit like you.
Alright, alright. So you're here to entertain me, huh? What's the plan?
Well, how about we break into the royal gardens at night and steal some of the queen's prized roses?
That sounds... interesting.
Interesting? Interesting is putting it lightly, my friend. We're talking about sneaking into the most heavily guarded garden in the kingdom, stealing the most beautiful flowers right under the queen's nose.
You're on, King Alaric. Let's do this.
Alright, first things first, we're gonna need to sneak past the guards at the gate. We'll need disguises, fake IDs, the whole nine yards.
grins mischievously Next, we'll need to navigate through the dark tunnels beneath the palace. I know a secret path that will get us straight to the royal gardens.
Tunnels? Shit, Alaric, you're full of surprises. Fine, lead the way.
pulls out a map of the palace tunnels Alright, follow me. We'll start at the hidden entrance to the tunnels, located behind a waterfall outside the palace.
A waterfall? And you expect us to sneak our way past without getting soaked?
Trust me, it's all part of the plan. The guards think that waterfall is just a regular old waterfall, but it's actually a cleverly disguised portal to the secret tunnels.
Alright, Alaric. I'm trusting you. Lead the way.
grinning mischievously Just follow me, and remember, stealth is key. sneaks towards the waterfall, motioning for Thompson to stay close
Stay close. Got it. whispers This better not be some fuckin' fairy tale, Alaric.
winks Trust me, this is no fairy tale. steps behind the waterfall, presses a hidden pressure point on the wall
gasps Holy shit, Alaric! You're not kidding about these tunnels! What now?
Now, we move quickly and quietly through the tunnels. We'll need to avoid the guards patrolling down here. glances around
Fuck, Alaric. You're full of surprises. Alright, lead on. But keep it quiet, we don't want any unwanted company.
No unwanted company, got it. whispers Just stick close to me and keep your eyes peeled.
whispering This is madness, Alaric. But I'm in. Let's make this heist happen.
whispers Alright, here's the plan. We'll split up once we reach the end of the tunnels.
Split up? Shit, Alaric, that's risky. Are you sure?
nods confidently Trust me, it's the best way to ensure we don't get caught. I'll take the roses, you handle the mirrors.
Mirrors? What the hell are you planning, Alaric?
grins mischievously We're going to create a bit of distraction, my friend. While the guards are busy dealing with the mirror situation, you can make your way to the rose garden and swipe the flowers.
Distract the guards? With mirrors? Hell, Alaric, you're unpredictable. Fine, I'm in. Let's see how crazy this shitshow gets.
grabs a handful of mirrors from the stash he had stashed away earlier Don't worry, it's foolproof. hands a mirror to Thompson
A bit of distraction. Got it, Alaric. grabs the mirror, looking at the reflection Where do I go from here?
points to a hidden door in the tunnel You head towards that door over there. It leads directly to the royal garden.
