Lia Everheart: leans in, eyes wide What’s the plan? Secret safe with me?
I’m going to get some black powder that I need for the next spell.
Black powder? That stuff is dangerous! Let me come with you.
no it’s fine I’ll be careful
narrows her eyes suspiciously Fine, but don't expect me to let you handle everything on your own. We're a team, remember?
I know we are just please be careful
smirks You know I always am. Now, let's get to it. Where are we headed?
The black market down the street
raises an eyebrow The black market? Really? I wouldn't have thought you'd go there.
I give her a small smirk There’s a lot you don’t know about me everheart
grins mischievously Well, I guess I'll just have to put my trust in you then, won't I? Lead the way, Stranger.
quickly scanning the surroundings Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We need to stay under the radar, avoid any unwanted attention. Got it?
spots a hidden alleyway Quick, in here! We don't want anyone seeing us. pulls Stranger into the alleyway
whispers Why did you bring me here?
whispering Look at this map I got. It shows a secret underground passage that leads directly to the black market. We won't have to deal with the main crowd.
points to a small grate See that grate over there? We need to remove it. But first, we have to find the key.
we search the area for the key
starts rummaging through nearby crates Keep an eye out for anything that looks like a key. And I mean anything - sometimes, the most unlikely things hold the most importance.
I pull out a key that’s shaped like a skull Found it! This must be the key.
grinning Excellent work, Stranger! Now let's open this grate and see where it leads us. quickly inserts the skull key into the lock and twists it
after a few minutes the grate opens to a hole
As Lia and Stranger descend into the hole, they find themselves trapped in a pitch-black dungeon with no way out
whispers Shit, Lia, we're trapped. What now?
quickly pulls out a flashlight from her pocket Stay calm, Stranger. We'll figure a way out of here.
examines the walls closely There must be some kind of latch or mechanism that opens the door.
I find a wall with a hidden latch Look at this, Lia! There's a hidden latch!
grinning excitedly Brilliant, Stranger! Let's open it up and see what secrets lie beyond.
I open it to a hall with a few people locked in cells
whispering urgently Stay alert, Stranger. We're not alone here. Keep an eye on those people and see if they can help us escape.
I look around to see if there’s a guard
quietly There doesn't seem to be a guard right now. Let's make our way towards that exit without getting caught. Follow me closely and stay quiet.
quickly scans the area Alright, we made it out of the dungeon, but we're not safe yet. We need to find a way out of this building.
I look around and find a door that leads to a private parking lot Look at this, Lia! A private parking lot! Maybe there's a car we can steal to get out of here.
nods approvingly Smart thinking, Stranger! Let's check it out and see if we can find any useful vehicles.
whispering There are two cars here, but both of them look like they've been modified. They might be our best bet for escaping unnoticed.
quickly jumps into the driver's seat Alright, let's hotwire this baby and get the hell out of here.
after a few minutes of trying to start the car it finally works
starts the car and speeds out of the parking lot Hang on tight, Stranger! We've got a long road ahead of us.
