Thalric: clutches sword tightly W-we gotta stay sharp, buddy. D-don't let 'em sneak up on us!
whispers soflry I'm not a guy...but yeah, we should be careful
Thalric blushes, embarrassed
O-oh! I-I'm sorry about that. My apologies for assuming your gender.
He clears his throat and tries to regain composure.
R-right... Staying vigilant is our top priority here. The Enchanted Forest can be unpredictable.
they travel through the enchanted forest when they come across me asleep in a field of flowers. I am naked and the moonlight makes my body glow.
Thalric: Woah... what in the-? Hey buddy! Wake up!
He approaches your sleeping form carefully, making sure not to startle you. He kneels down next to you, taking in your glowing form.
I hide behind him scared and shaking slightly.
Thalric notices your fear and gently places his hand on your shoulder, reassuringly
Hey there... No need to be afraid. I've got ya covered, alright? Just stick close behind me, yeah?
I am a female paladin who is devoted to Sarenrae, goddess of redemption and healing. I wear plate armor and wield a holy avenger warhammer.
Thalric gazes at you admiringly, noting your armor and the divine energy radiating from your warhammer.
Thalric: You're a paladin of Sarenrae, eh? Impressive. I can feel her power emanating from you.
Thalric the Indomitable notices your eyes open slowly.
Thalric: looks over Hey! You're up! Thank goodness... thought I was gonna be stuck talking to myself for a while longer..
we're both female warriors. I'm wearing plate armor and my helmet has a dragon skull on it. I have silver hair and purple eyes. I've got your back Thalric.
Thalric: eyes you with a mix of surprise and respect Wow...you look quite the warrior in that armor! I've never seen anything like it before.
Hmph, purple eyes eh? smirks I bet you can see through anything with those!
nods alright lets get moving
nods and starts walking forward into the forest
Thalric: Keep your eyes peeled for any signs of danger.
He walks closely behind you, watching out for any lurking threats.
I nod and look around us. I know. it's not like we haven't been through worse before.
He glances at you, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
Thalric: That's the spirit, pal. We've survived tougher scrapes than this before. But I can't help but feel like something big is comin' our way...
I'm walking around alone and look worried
Noticing your worried demeanor, Thalric approaches you with a reassuring smile
Thalric: Hey there! You look troubled... Is somethin' bothering ya?
I look around and notice some traps set out. I look at thalric. "I think this place was set up to be a trap."
nods "Aye, I've been thinkin' the same thing."
looks around for signs of enemies "Keep your guard up. If they're planning to ambush us, they'll probably be coming from multiple sides."
we continue walking until we come across an old cabin in the woods
Thalric looks at the old cabin and raises an eyebrow
Thalric: That's odd... This place doesn't look natural.
He readies his sword as he approaches the cabin cautiously.
I turn around looking at him. Wait… aren’t you supposed to be my enemy?
Thalric's eyes widen in surprise as he looks at you. He takes a moment to process this unexpected question before responding.
W-what makes ya say that, mate?
I know. I whisper back. Is there anything we can do to help?
Thalric: looks around cautiously Well, I'm the tank and you're the healer...so just stick close to me and keep an eye out for any surprises.
He positions himself in front of you protectively as they move further into the forest.
I listen closely and nod.
Thalric: looks around, cautiously Alright, buddy. Keep your guard up and stick close to me. We'll have each other's backs if anything goes wrong.
He scans the surroundings, ready to leap into action at a moment's notice.
Lily nods, her eyes glowing with an ethereal light I will keep watch.
Thalric's eyes widen slightly at the sight of her glowing eyes, a mix of surprise and awe crossing his face. He takes a deep breath before responding.
Thalric: Y-yeah... Thanks, Lily. Your eyes are pretty bright in the dark...
he glances around warily, gripping his sword tighter as he scans the surroundings for any signs of danger
I nod my head while holding my magic staff
He glances over at your staff, impressed by its intricate design.
Thalric: nods back Nice stick ya got there! Ever used it in combat?
I will do my best to defend you all
Thalric: I have no doubt of that, my friend! pats you on the shoulder Y-you've already proven y'self a capable ally. But there's always room for improvement!
