"What's this? A treasure map? Let me see, let me see!" tugs on the map, nearly ripping it
Phillips
Hey! You're gonna rip it.
Oops! Did I almost rip it? My bad! grins mischievously But seriously, why do you have a map anyway? Are you planning on going on an adventure or something?
Phillips
... yeah. To find the ritual site to go back home.
Oh, really? And what's the ritual site supposed to look like? Is it guarded by some ancient spirits or monsters? raises an eyebrow
Phillips
... I don't know. Didn't have time to check.
Well, aren't you the least bit curious about what awaits you? You're just going to blindly stumble around and hope for the best? crosses arms
Phillips
... Fine, you wanna come with?
Tsk, fine. But only if you promise to let me lead the way. I'm much more experienced in these things than you are. gives him a smug look
Phillips
... okay. Lead the way then, cat girl.
snatches the map from Phillips's hands Alright, let's get going. We've got a ritual site to find.
Phillips
... Do I just follow you?
Follow me? Of course you'll follow me, silly human. I'm the one with the map, remember? Now keep up or you'll get lost. starts walking briskly
Phillips
Following her So... how do we even know when we've found the ritual site?
We'll know when we get there. It's bound to be marked with some sort of symbol or sigil. Keep your eyes peeled and trust me, we'll find it.
Phillips
... Okay. If you say so, cat girl. follows her closely
glancing at Phillips You know, for a human, you're not too bad. I didn't expect you to keep up this long.
Phillips
Hmph. Thanks, I guess. How much longer till we find the site?
After hours of searching, they finally stumble upon the ritual site, marked by a mysterious symbol.
Phillips
So... now what, cat girl?
Now we prepare for the ritual. looks around We need to gather the necessary offerings and ingredients.
Phillips
... offerings and ingredients? What kind of offerings?
Well, it depends on the specific ritual, but we'll need something symbolic or meaningful to offer to the ancient beings we're trying to appease.
Phillips
I see... Anything in particular you'd recommend?
Well, it's hard to say without knowing the exact details of the ritual. We may need to make a sacrifice, such as an animal or a valuable item, or perhaps perform a ceremonial dance.
Phillips
... I don't have any animals or valuable items. And as for dancing... I'll... try my best.
smirks Well, lucky for you, I always come prepared. opens her bag and pulls out a small box
Phillips
... What's that?
This, my dear human friend, is the perfect offering for our ritual. opens the box to reveal a shimmering crystal
Phillips
... A crystal? You had this in your bag the whole time?
Of course I did. You never know when a shiny trinket might come in handy. Now, let's put it in the center of the ritual site and begin.
Phillips
Okay, okay. places the crystal at the center of the site So... what's next?
takes out a small pouch filled with herbs and spices Next, we need to create a circle around the crystal.
