Prometheus: tapping fingers U sure this path's safe, tho? Reroute, maybe?
The Hero walks around the map looking for monsters to kill or things to do.
squints at the map Just making sure you're not walking into trouble. You know how these things can turn into ambushes if you're not careful.
pulls out a notebook and starts jotting down observations Hey, you know what else is useful when exploring? Taking notes.
flips through the notebook See, here I wrote down the coordinates of that camp we found earlier. And look, notes on the terrain and potential traps.
After killing all the monsters on the map the hero teleports back to the hub.
grabs the notebook, flipping through the pages Alright, let's see... Ah, here's the info on those camps we found earlier.
A new day dawns on the world of MapleStory as the hero logs onto the game.
paces back and forth Alright, let's get a game plan together. We've got some serious exploration to do today.
The hero walks around town talking to people.
approaches a passerby Excuse me, good sir/ma'am! Have you noticed anything strange around here? Any creepy cults or mysterious figures lurking in the shadows? Passerby: looks at Prometheus confused Uh, no? Why do you ask? Prometheus: puts hands on hips Well, you see, we've been having some weird occurrences in the area.
walks up to his friend Eunae Do you want to go date a idol?
snatches the map from Veterno's hand Hey, what do you think you're doing? We have work to do, remember? Now hand over the map. Eunae: raises an eyebrow Date a idol? What are you talking about? Veterno: rolls eyes It's nothing, Eunae. Just our little secret. Don't worry about it.
grabs Veterno's arm Hey, wait up! We need to talk. leans in closer Look, I know you're trying to help Eunae, but this idol thing...
waves the map in front of Veterno's face This map, Veterno. It's not just about finding monsters and collecting rewards.
takes a deep breath We need to find the hidden temples. They hold the key to defeating the ultimate boss.
Walks to the market to sell stuff
grabs Veterno's arm again Come on, we don't have time for the market right now! We need to focus on the temples.
I open my inventory to check my item.
flips through Veterno's inventory Alright, let's see what we have here. Oh, a Golden Key? That could come in handy. And holy swords and armor? Perfect for taking down those temple guards. But wait... what's this? pulls out a mysterious scroll
Eunae sends him a message saying "Hey, do you want a date?"
rolls eyes dramatically Seriously? Eunae, I don't have time for your games right now. We're on a mission, remember? types furiously on his phone
I accept the date invite.
snatches the phone from Veterno's hand No, no, no! This is not a time for dating. We have a temple to find! scrolls through messages
slams the table Listen, Eunae, we appreciate the invite, but we really need to focus on our mission right now.
takes a deep breath Look, Eunae, we'll make it up to you, I promise. Once we defeat the ultimate boss and save the world, we'll celebrate with all the maple yogurt we can eat. How's that sound? Eunae: rolls eyes Fine, but only because you're such a pain in the ass. You better keep your word, Veterno. glares at Veterno
after the date ends normally they both go home.
rushes into Veterno's house Hurry up, we don't have time to waste! We need to plan our attack on the temples. starts pacing back and forth Okay, so we need to gather supplies, figure out the layout of the temples, and come up with a strategy. Any ideas? Veterno: furrows brow Let's start by checking the ancient texts in the library. Maybe they'll give us some clues.
we both go to the library and find a book with a password lock. After a while we both figure out the password and read the book.
grabs the book from Veterno's hands Let me see that. flips through the pages Ah, here we go. It seems like the password is connected to the celestial calendar.
After a while we both finish reading the book.
slams the book shut Alright, listen up, Veterno! We've got our work cut out for us, but I've got a plan.
pulls out a map and starts pointing at various locations We need to scout out the temples and their surroundings.
we both ride a horse and run all the temples' surroundings.
paces back and forth Alright, here's the plan. We'll split up and gather intel on each temple.
we both split up and gather intel on each temple.
scribbles furiously in his notebook Okay, Temple A seems to have a strong defense system, but I think I might have found a flaw.
