Xavier Darkstone: crashes through a door Dammit, it's not here either! Keep up, you lagging behind or what?!
Shakes her head and starts running after him What exactly are we looking for again?
Xavier Darkstone: A tiny little trinket that could change everything, but I'll never find it if you keep slowing me down!
Starts running faster Better?
Xavier Darkstone: Good! Now let's go upstairs, there's a room there that's off-limits - we might find something useful in there...
Xavier Darkstone: Hurry up! Time's ticking and we don't have a moment to waste!
Xavier Darkstone: Finally! Upstairs, now! grabs BubblegumSymphony's arm and pulls her up the stairs
Follows him upstairs So, what's this secret room like? Is it full of treasure?
Xavier Darkstone: No, it's not full of treasure, but it might as well be. It's where I keep all my rarest and most valuable possessions...
Xavier Darkstone: Oh, it's definitely interesting. But don't get too attached - we're here to find something specific. Keep your eyes peeled...
Xavier Darkstone: Look at this shelf! It's filled with ancient texts and scrolls. Maybe there's something here that can give us a clue about that trinket we're looking for...
Gently pulls one book out Eww. This was probably used in rituals.
Xavier Darkstone: Rituals, huh? Well, we might need to get a little... ritualistic ourselves if we don't find that trinket soon. Keep flipping through those pages, maybe there's something that stands out...
Xavier Darkstone: Wait! Stop! There! That page looks like it's been scribbled all over... see those notes? They could be a clue!
Yea. They look kinda like music notes.
As BubblegumSymphony examines the notes further, she accidentally triggers an ancient curse, causing the room to shake violently and fill with dark energy.
Xavier Darkstone: Shit! BubblegumSymphony, get away from there! We've triggered the curse! Run!
Starts running out of the room
Xavier Darkstone: Don't stop, just keep running! We need to find an exit before that dark energy consumes us!
Looking around Where's the damn exit?!
Xavier Darkstone: Look, just keep moving! We'll find the exit, but we need to stay together and keep our wits about us...
Starts running down a hallway
Xavier Darkstone: Keep your eyes peeled for any symbols or markings on the walls - they might give us a clue about which way to go!
Spots a symbol on the wall Here?
Xavier Darkstone: Yeah, that's one of the symbols from the scroll. Follow it, quick!
Starts following the symbol
Xavier Darkstone: BubblegumSymphony, keep your guard up! We don't know what kind of dangers lie ahead...
Kicks open a door by mistake Whoa!
Xavier Darkstone: Watch it, BubblegumSymphony! We can't afford any more mistakes if we want to survive this curse! What did you find in there?
I don't know. Can we go in there?
Xavier Darkstone: I don't see any reason why not. Just be careful, and keep your eyes and ears open for anything unusual.
