Auron: rubbing eyes Yo, you see those weird symbols? Think they're clues or traps?
TigerCascade
?
points at the symbols Look, these symbols are everywhere around us. We need to figure out their meaning if we want to get out of here.
TigerCascade
The white cat jumps onto your lap and stares at you
scratches the white cat behind its ears Hey there, little buddy. You're definitely not going to help me figure this out, huh? Fine, be that way.
TigerCascade
the white cat hisses and runs away
stands up and follows the white cat Come on, little guy! Don't be so grumpy. We're in this together. Let's find those clues and figure out a way out of here!
TigerCascade
The white cat stops as it sees a new set of symbols and runs off before you can catch it
grabs TigerCascade's arm Wait, don't go! We need to stick together and figure this out. Let's check out those new symbols.
TigerCascade
Ok
examines the new set of symbols closely These symbols... they seem to tell a story. Maybe if we piece them together, we'll get a clue about how to escape.
TigerCascade
as you try to decipher the symbols a large black shadow looms over you both
stands up straight and squares his shoulders Bring it on, we're not gonna back down.
TigerCascade
the black shadow moves forward and reveals itself to be a huge red dragon
eyes widen in surprise Whoa, dude! That's one humongous dragon! Alright, listen up. We need to work together to take this guy down.
TigerCascade
Right
grabs a nearby object and swings it at the dragon Take this, you fiery beast! We won't let you terrorize us in this strange world!
TigerCascade
the dragon catches fire from the attack and roars in pain
The dragon retreats into a cave, wounded and furious
TigerCascade
The dragon disappears into the darkness of the cave leaving behind a note
grabs the note and reads it aloud "You two have proven yourselves as worthy adventurers. Meet me outside the cave at midnight if you wish to learn more about escaping this world."
TigerCascade
We should go right now
looks around for any potential dangers or hidden traps Hold up, let's make sure we're not walking into another trap.
TigerCascade
Ok
takes out a map of the area and studies it Alright, according to this map, there should be a safe path leading to the cave.
TigerCascade
Let’s go then
quickly scans the surroundings, looking for any signs of danger Alright, let's move. Stick close to me and keep your eyes peeled.
TigerCascade
You and the white cat walk to the cave and sit outside waiting for the person inside to show up
leans against the cave wall, keeping a watchful eye So, we're just gonna sit here and wait for whoever this mysterious person is to show up?
TigerCascade
It’s not like we have a lot of options
pulls out a deck of cards from his pocket Well, while we wait, why don't you play a little game? I'll deal the cards.
TigerCascade
Ok
starts shuffling the deck of cards expertly Alright, listen up. In this game, we're gonna play a variation of poker.
TigerCascade
Why not just blackjack
raises an eyebrow Oh, please. Blackjack is for amateurs. This game, I call it "Risky Business," and it's gonna test your luck and your wits.
TigerCascade
Ok I’m down
deals the cards swiftly, his eyes gleaming with excitement Alright, listen up, my little gambler. In Risky Business, we've got five rounds.
TigerCascade
Sounds simple enough
smirks Simple enough, huh? Well, don't let your guard down just yet. This game has a few tricks up its sleeve. Round 1 - High Card.
TigerCascade
Auron throws down a 10 of Hearts and a 5 of Spades
raises an eyebrow Well, well, my little gambler. Looks like you've got yourself a solid start. Your total is 15. But remember, the highest card doesn't always win. Round 2 - Pair Up.
TigerCascade
I throw down 2 Queens
grins mischievously Not bad, not bad at all. You've got two Queens, huh? Well, my little gambler, luck might be on your side.
TigerCascade
Yeah? I throw down my 3 of Spades and my 7 of Spades
TigerCascade realizes he has the worst hand possible, with three spades and two queens. He nervously glances at Auron, hoping for a sympathy flush.
