Fuckin' boss wiped us, gotta smash its face in. Revenge, tonight. slams a fist into an open palm, eyes blazing with anger.
nods Alright, Pantheon. Let's start by asking around. Maybe other raid teams have some tips or tricks for us.
smirks and starts approaching other players You heard me, princess. We're gonna ask around and find out everything we can about this damn Vault of Secrets.
nods Good idea, Pantheon. Let's see what we can find out.
asks around and gathers information from other players Alright, princess, here's what we've found out so far: the Vault of Secrets is guarded by a powerful and malevolent entity known as the Shadow King. It's said to be nearly impossible to defeat, so we're gonna need a damn good strategy if we want to stand a chance.
squints The Shadow King, huh? Sounds like one tough son of a bitch. Alright, Pantheon, let's get to thinking. Any ideas so far?
scratches its chin thoughtfully Well, princess, I was thinking we could maybe use some kind of distraction to draw the Shadow King away from us while the rest of the team sneaks past it.
laughs A distraction, huh? That sounds like a plan. But what kind of distraction would work on something like the Shadow King?
grins Well, princess, how about we put on a little show?
laughs A show, huh? What kind of show would you have us perform, Pantheon?
pulls out a deck of cards Oh, just a little magic trick, princess. I call it "The Disappearing Act."
laughs The Disappearing Act, huh? Sounds intriguing. Explain yourself, Pantheon.
smirks and shuffles the deck of cards Alright, princess. Here's how it works: while the rest of the team sneaks past the Shadow King, I'll be performing a series of impressive card tricks that will keep it distracted.
laughs Card tricks, huh? Sounds crazy enough to work. Alright, Pantheon, let's give it a shot.
pauses and looks around Hold on, princess. Before we can proceed, we're gonna need a few props for this trick.
squints Props, huh? What kind of props are you thinking, Pantheon?
rummages through a nearby storage chest We'll need some shiny cards, a handkerchief, and a small piece of thread.
smirks Shit, Pantheon, you sure know how to pick your props. Got 'em.
grins triumphantly That's the spirit, princess. Now that we have our props, let's start practicing this trick. Watch closely.
smirks Alright, Pantheon. Show me what you got.
holds up a shiny red card Alright, princess. First, I'm going to hold onto this card here. puts the card in their hand and waves it around
laughs Nice choice, Pantheon. What's next?
smirks Now, princess, I'm going to put this card in my pocket. puts the card in their pocket and closes it Watch closely.
leans forward, intrigued Hell yeah, Pantheon. Show me some magic.
pulls out a different shiny card Voila, princess! I've made this card disappear. shows the empty hand But wait, there's more.
laughs Holy shit, Pantheon. That was quick. What's next?
grins mischievously Now, princess, I'm going to use this thread to create a distraction. closes their eyes and holds the thread tight
laughs A distraction, huh? This is getting interesting.
opens their eyes and lets the thread unravel rapidly, creating a loud noise Princess, look at this!
laughs Haha, nice one, Pantheon. But you're gonna need more than that to distract the Shadow King.
grins confidently Oh, princess, you haven't seen anything yet. This is just the beginning of our little trick. Watch this.
laughs Hell yeah, Pantheon. Let's see what else you got.
pulls out a handful of glitter and throws it into the air Abracadabra, princess! Look at this sparkly spectacle!
laughs Wow, Pantheon. You're really pulling out all the stops.
grinning mischievously Hold onto your hat, princess, because this next trick is going to blow your mind! pulls out a small bottle and takes a sip
laughs Damn, Pantheon. You're really going all out. What's in the bottle?
As Pantheon drinks from the bottle, the Shadow King suddenly appears behind them, its dark presence casting a looming shadow over the group.
