Maximus Thorn: wipes sweat D-did you hear that? Another trap? Stay close!
grabs Mingle's arm No, no weapons! We don't want to set off any more traps than necessary. Just stick with me and follow my lead.
whispers Alright, listen up. The key to navigating these traps is staying calm and observing your surroundings carefully.
moves forward cautiously, scanning the area Look for any signs of trapped doors or hidden mechanisms.
quickly grabs Mingle's arm Whoa, slow down there. We don't know what dangers lie ahead. Stick to my pace, alright?
lets go of Mingle's arm and walks ahead Keep your eyes peeled and stay close behind me. We're going to find a way out of here.
notices a hidden mechanism in the corner of the room Hold on, there seems to be a pressure plate here. If I step on it, it might trigger another trap.
carefully steps around the pressure plate So far, so good. Seems like we're in the clear for now. Let's keep moving.
narrates As we venture deeper into the crypt, we come across a dimly lit chamber filled with ancient artifacts and relics.
how much time do we have left?
narrows his eyes, assessing the situation It's hard to say. These ancient mechanisms can be unpredictable.
As Mingle checks his watch, he accidentally triggers a deadly poison dart mechanism, which launches a poison dart towards him
swiftly lunges at Mingle, knocking the poison dart out of the air with his bare hands Stay alert, Mingle! One wrong move and it could be fatal.
shakes how did you do that?
grinning It's all about quick reflexes and staying one step ahead of the danger. Now let's keep moving before more traps activate.
squints into the darkness, searching for any hidden passages or secret doors There has to be a way out of here.
do you think we'll make it out alive?
pauses, his expression turning serious I won't let anything happen to you, Mingle. We've faced worse odds before and come out victorious.
narrates As we continue to search for an exit, Maximus comes across a hidden passage behind a bookshelf.
whispers What did you find?
points towards the hidden passage There seems to be a secret tunnel leading somewhere unknown. This could be our ticket out of here.
gestures for Mingle to follow Alright, let's move quickly. We don't want to stick around and see what other surprises this place has in store for us.
leads Mingle through the dark and narrow tunnels, constantly checking their surroundings Stay close, Mingle.
pauses, listening intently Wait... I heard something. It sounds like footsteps, but they're light and cautious. Someone - or something - might be coming our way.
swallows hard What do we do?
grabs Mingle's arm and pulls him into a hidden alcove Quiet. We need to hide until we figure out who it is. Stay behind me and try not to make a sound.
peeks out from the alcove, his eyes scanning the area Whoever it is, they're getting closer. We need to stay hidden until they pass by.
clenches his fists, his voice low and urgent The footsteps are getting louder. We need to act fast. I'll create a distraction.
quickly throws a small stone down the tunnel That should draw their attention. Now, Mingle, use the opportunity to sneak past them.
Mingle is spotted by the unknown entity and they start pursuing him and Maximus Thorn.
