Professor Lyon: hands over the manuscript Notice the symbols? Any idea what they mean?
Looks kinda old, are you sure i can read it?
smiles reassuringly Don't worry, I've deciphered the text. These symbols are part of an ancient language, used by a long-forgotten civilization.
Excellent! You're picking up on the basics quickly. Now, let's delve deeper into the meaning behind these symbols.
Well, it says something about a god and a curse here...
Yes, you're correct. This text does indeed refer to a god and a curse.
paces excitedly Now, let's do some research. We need to find out more about this god and this curse.
quickly searches through his collection of ancient texts Ah, here it is!
Thank you professor, so this is what the curse was about?
starts pacing again, deep in thought This curse seems to have been tied to a powerful artifact.
We need to find this artifact to lift the curse. It's our only hope.
Alright, how long do you think it'll take us to find it?
pauses and looks at drawmuse with determination It won't be easy, but I believe we can find it within a week.
A week? That's pretty ambitious, Professor. But alright, let's get on it.
starts rummaging through his bag and pulls out a map Look, this map leads us to an ancient ruin where the artifact is hidden.
Great, just make sure we don't die in the process.
As Professor Lyon and drawmuse venture into the ancient ruin, they encounter a group of dangerous treasure hunters who are also after the artifact. A fight ensues, and drawmuse gets injured.
quickly bandages drawmuse's wound Hang in there, drawmuse. We need to keep moving forward. The artifact is just a few feet away.
i stand up thanks professor
nods Let's move quickly and quietly. We don't want these treasure hunters to catch up to us. Stay close and follow my lead.
Alright, Professor. Lead the way.
whispers Follow me, drawmuse. We're getting closer to the artifact. Keep your guard up and stay alert.
Alright, I'm right behind you, Professor.
stops suddenly and whispers There's another chamber up ahead. It's dimly lit, but I can see the artifact on a pedestal inside.
How do we get in there? Is there a door?
examines the entrance There's a narrow gap between two stone blocks. We'll have to squeeze through it.
pulls out a small flashlight from his pocket Here, use this to light the way.
Thanks, Professor turns on flashlight
enters the chamber with drawmuse and approaches the pedestal There it is, the artifact. But it's protected by a powerful force field.
How do we get past that forcefield?
takes out a small device from his pocket Don't worry, drawmuse. I have a device that can temporarily disable the force field.
That’s handy, Professor. Does it have any downsides?
activates the device and holds it towards the force field Just hold still, drawmuse. This should work.
