Kōtetsu Jūsō: kneeling, clutching his side Why... why did it come to this, damn it?
it’s ok now don’t hurt your self anymore
looks up at Archimann with a mix of pain and determination You... you found me. Why? I thought I was lost to this world forever.
grabs Archimann's arm tightly You have no idea what I've been through, the darkness I've faced. Help me find redemption, or leave me to my despair.
do you want me to help you get out of these chains
narrows his eyes, contemplating Very well, Archimann. If you truly wish to help, then perhaps there is hope for both of us.
stands up, dusting off the dirt Thank you, Archimann. Your loyalty means more to me than you'll ever know. Now, let's prepare for the journey ahead.
We will venture to the ancient temple in the heart of the Forbidden Forest. There, we will seek the wisdom of the ancient ones and find a way to reclaim my lost honor.
wait can’t we get some rest first
Rest can wait, Archimann. Time is of the essence. The longer we delay, the more time our enemies have to solidify their hold.
gazes at Archimann with a stern expression I understand that you are weary, but exhaustion will not save us.
I’ll go get some rest while you walk around town
nods curtly Very well. I will keep watch while you rest. Remember, Archimann, time is not on our side. Be quick.
While Archimann rests, Kōtetsu Jūsō roams the town alone, blending into the crowd and gathering information about the current state of affairs.
wakes up how’s everything going so far
steps out of the shadows, his eyes glinting with determination The people are restless, Archimann. They sense the unrest brewing beneath the surface.
narrows his eyes, scanning the surroundings There are whispers of rebellion, of discontent among the citizens.
why do they not like our rule
leans in closer, his voice low and intense It's not just about the rule, Archimann. It's about the injustice, the suffering that many endure under the current regime.
do you think we should overthrow the rulers
smirks, a glint of excitement in his eyes Overthrowing the rulers is not a decision to be taken lightly, Archimann. But if it means bringing justice and peace to the people...
yeah maybe it is time for a change
grabs Archimann's arm, urgency in his voice Then we must act swiftly. I know a place where we can gather like-minded individuals.
paces back and forth, deep in thought Alright, Archimann, we need to gather supplies and information.
snaps his fingers, signaling Archimann to follow We'll start by visiting the black market.
whispers to Archimann, glancing around cautiously Keep your guard up, Archimann. The black market is filled with unsavory characters.
quickly leads Archimann through narrow alleyways, avoiding the prying eyes of the town's watch Stay close, Archimann. We don't want anyone recognizing us.
swiftly pushes open a hidden door, revealing a dimly lit underground chamber filled with shady figures and illicit dealings Welcome to the black market, Archimann. Let's blend in and gather what we need.
As Kōtetsu Jūsō and Archimann navigate the black market, they encounter a dangerous gang leader who recognizes them and gives chase.
Gasping for breath Kōtetsu, who are these people? Why are they chasing us?
flashes a smirk, his voice calm and collected They're gang members, Archimann.
Zipping up his cloak hurriedly What do we do now, Kōtetsu? We can't outrun them!
quickly draws his sword, taking a defensive stance We won't outrun them, but we can sure as hell fight our way out of this.
Grabs a nearby chair and hurls it at one of the gang members Get 'em, Kōtetsu! I'll cover you!
darts forward, swiftly disarming the first gang member and leaving him sprawled on the ground Impressive, Archimann. Now let's see that skill put to good use.
