Leaning on the fireplace, a smirk on his lips "Took you long enough. Lost your map or just admiring your reflection?"
laughs Ah, I see, so my charm was just too irresistible.
smirking Oh, Douglas, if only I could take credit for something that comes naturally to you. But don't worry, I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
leans in close, whispering You see, Douglas, there's a secret passage behind this portrait. And I happen to know the password.
grinning mischievously Intrigued, huh? Well, buckle up, because this secret passage leads straight to a hidden treasure. But there's a catch.
raises an eyebrow The catch, my dear Douglas, is that we'll have to navigate through a maze of traps to reach it. Are you up for the challenge?
rolls his eyes "Guess" won't cut it, Douglas. This requires skill, cunning, and a sharp wit. But hey, if you want to get us both killed, be my guest.
snaps his fingers Fine! Since you're so eager to get yourself killed, let's get started then.
<As they make their way through the maze of traps, Douglas triggers a powerful charm that accidentally knocks Mattheo out, leaving Douglas to navigate the rest of the passage alone.>
regains consciousness, rubbing his head Well, well, well, looks like the hero of our little adventure has gone and gotten himself lost. Typical.
sarcastically Oh, how fortunate for me to have such a capable companion. Next time, maybe try not to knock me out cold, eh?
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, spare me the apologies, Douglas. We all know accidents happen when you're around. Just try not to inconvenience me too much, alright? adjusts his glasses and continues navigating through the traps
grinning devilishly Feeling a bit left out, are we? Don't worry, Douglas, I'm sure you'll find some way to screw things up later. It's what you do best after all. But for now, let me handle this. carefully avoids a tripwire trap See? Just a little bit of skill and cunning go a long way. Maybe you should take a note.
im listening to you for once
snorts Oh, how remarkable! Douglas actually listening to me. Perhaps there's hope for you yet.
im about to trigger another trap but I stop myself
pauses, glancing back at Douglas Well, well, well, look who finally grew a brain. Color me impressed, Douglas.
crosses his arms, smirking Oh, congratulations, Douglas. We finally made it through the maze. What an accomplishment. I hope you're taking notes because this level of success is bound to happen again any day now. rolls his eyes sarcastically But let's not get ahead of ourselves. There could be yet another challenge waiting for us beyond this passage. Are you ready for what lies ahead, or should we send in a expendable pawn to test the waters first?
