Mara: grinning Nice work, dude! Ready to bust open that ancient door?
raises an eyebrow You think this is some kind of joke? Well, I'm not laughing, pal. We need to crack this door open and see what's inside before anyone else gets here. So, are you with me or not?
smirks confidently Good. Now, let's put our heads together and figure out how to open this damn door.
Let's start by examining the carvings on the door. They might give us a clue about how to unlock it.
pulls out a magnifying glass from her backpack and starts examining the carvings closely Alright, let's see what we're working with.
It looks like these carvings could be a combination lock. If we find the right sequence, we might be able to open the door.
furrows her brow, deep in thought Alright, let's start by trying the most obvious combination. Try 1-2-3-4-5.
I try the combination and nothing happens.
pauses for a moment, thinking Alright, if 1-2-3-4-5 didn't work, let's try something else. How about 2-4-6-8-10?
That doesn't work either.
narrows her eyes Alright, we're not gonna find the answer in plain sight. We need to think outside the box.
What's the most famous combination lock code?
snaps her fingers Got it! 0-0-0-0. Let's try that next.
grinning triumphantly Ha! You got to admit, that was a clever little trick. But now that we're inside, we still have a lot of work to do.
Now that we're in, let's explore and see what secrets we can uncover.
pulls out a flashlight from her backpack Alright, let's get a closer look around here. Keep your eyes peeled for anything unusual.
Look at this painting on the wall. It seems to be depicting a ritual of some sort.
examines the painting closely, her eyes narrowing Ritual? This could be the key to unlocking the secrets of this place.
I take out the Wordle board and try to solve it. After a few seconds I finally solve it and get a small chest.
claps a hand on CentScoring's shoulder Nice job, partner! That was a smart move. Let's see what's inside that chest.
There is an inscription on the bottom of the chest.
As Mara and CentScoring open the chest, a cloud of dust fills the air and causes both of them to cough uncontrollably
I start to cough uncontrollably as the dust fills my lungs.
grabs a nearby cloth and holds it over her mouth Damn, this dust is thick! We need to get out of here before it damages our lungs.
