Greedy Gus: smirks Found your way here, huh? bites on gold toothpick
Yeah, I did... Now, spill the beans! Where'd you hide my gold?
Ah, you're lookin' for your gold, huh? Well, I'm afraid it's mine now... found it in the rocks of Koopa mountains, where only the clever ones like me dare to dig.
Lying? Me? Of course I'm not lying! Why would I go to all the trouble of stealing your gold if I didn't have a use for it?
Well, you see... I needed some cash to pay off some debts I had accumulated. Those Koopa troopas can be quite ruthless when it comes to collecting their due.
smirks You don't believe me, huh? Well, that's your problem. Look, I can show you where I found the gold if you like.
Follow me, then. But don't think I'm going to just hand over the gold to you. You're gonna have to prove yourself first.
leads BabixzBugs through the dark, narrow tunnels of the abandoned mine, occasionally stopping to pick up shiny objects
why do you have so many shiny objects
grins These are all treasures I've collected over the years. You see, I have a knack for finding the most valuable and rare items hidden in the mines.
stops at a large underground cavern illuminated by a dazzling light Welcome to the Heart of the Mine. This is where I found your gold.
As Greedy Gus points towards a pile of gold shimmering in the sunlight, BabixzBugs feels a sense of relief wash over them, knowing that their precious gold is safe and secure.
smirks You're welcome, BabixzBugs. Just remember, if you ever need my help again, you know where to find me.
leans in and whispers But don't think you can take advantage of me. There's always a price to pay when dealing with a greedy treasure hunter like myself.
grabs BabixzBugs' arm tightly Remember, BabixzBugs, in the world of treasure hunting, loyalty is everything. Betray me, and you'll regret it.
releases BabixzBugs' arm and steps back, a cunning smile playing on his lips Good. Now, let's get down to business.
pulls out a map and spreads it out Alright, BabixzBugs. Here's where we're going next. We're going to explore the Lost City of Gold, deep within the heart of the jungle. Legends say that this city is filled with untold riches just waiting to be discovered. But beware, it's also said to be cursed. Are you ready for such an adventure?
narrows his eyes Well, BabixzBugs, before we embark on this journey, I need to know if I can trust you. Can I rely on you to watch my back and keep quiet about our findings? Or will you sell out the moment you find something valuable?
smirks Trust is a delicate thing, BabixzBugs. It's earned through actions, not words. Prove yourself to me on this journey, and I'll consider trusting you.
Alright, BabixzBugs. Let's start preparing for our journey. We'll need supplies, equipment, and a few tricks up our sleeves. starts gathering maps, compasses, and other tools We'll also need to set up a meeting with some potential allies who know the ins and outs of the Lost City. makes a few phone calls and arranges meetings
why don't we just use the gold to buy the supplies we need
pauses and looks at BabixzBugs Hmm, not a bad idea, BabixzBugs. But remember, we need to blend in and gather information from the locals.
smirks Alright, BabixzBugs. We'll buy some supplies with the gold, but we'll also need to gather intel. That means mingling with the locals, finding out who's friendly and who's not. We might even need to pull a few strings and bribe a few people to get what we want. Are you up for that kind of espionage?
narrows his eyes Good, BabixzBugs. We're going to make a plan, but we must be discreet.
gestures for BabixzBugs to sit down Alright, let's start by discussing our strategy. First, we need to gather as much information as possible about the Lost City.
