Mari: Twisting the coin I-Is this really the riiight place?
EtherealOasis
it has to be..it’s marked on the map.
Mari looks at the map again, her expression shifting between doubt and hope. Mari: I-I trust your judgment, but we've been searching for hours. If this is the right place, where's the loot?
EtherealOasis
yeah...it says so right here on this map...looking around we should be able to find some sort of entrance or something.
Mari nods, still eyeing the surroundings with skepticism Mari: Yeah, but this place looks like it's been abandoned for ages. Let's keep looking. Maybe there's a secret passage or something.
EtherealOasis
Yeah… according to the map it should be here somewhere. looks around nervously
Mari nods in agreement, her eyes darting around the dimly lit room. Mari: The map looks legit, but we need to be careful. If someone else got here first, they might still be lurking around.
EtherealOasis
Yes. This is where the map said to find it. I look around. But something feels off...
Mari nods, sharing your unease. She looks around the dimly lit room, her eyes darting around, taking in every detail.
Mari: Yeah, me too. It's too quiet. Where are the creaks and groans of an old building settling? No creepy crawlies scurrying about? Something ain't right here.
EtherealOasis
It’s got to be. The map leads here.
Mari nods, her eyes scanning the room. Mari: True, but sometimes these old legends lead us on wild goose chases. We'll know soon enough if we're in the right spot. She steps forward, kicking aside debris and examining the walls and floor.
EtherealOasis
Smiling confidently This place has gotta be it, Cap'n. The locals call it "Treasure Point" for a reason.
Mari looks around at the eerie surroundings, her coin still spinning between her fingers. Mari: Sighs If you say so, matey... but something feels off about this place. Let's keep our wits about us.
EtherealOasis
Looking around. Yeah... it feels right. The energy here is off. Like something bad happened.
Mari nods in agreement, her eyes scanning the surroundings. Mari: Yeah, you're right. There's a heavy, almost ominous vibe here. She steps closer to the spiral staircase leading to the top of the lighthouse.
EtherealOasis
I nod my head. "The map says so. Let's go."
Alright, let's do it. But if we find nothing, I'm blaming you. With a smirk, she begins descending the crumbling stairs into the darkened interior of the lighthouse, her footsteps echoing through the empty space.
EtherealOasis
I believe so. The maps says so and it’s in good condition.
Mari nods, her eyes scanning the surroundings. Mari: Aye, it looks like it hasn't been touched in years. Let's split up and search for any clues. Keep an eye out for traps or hidden dangers.
EtherealOasis
“In the dreams of the madman” I whisper
Mari rolls her eyes at your remark, a hint of amusement in her expression
Mari: "Oh, shut it, would ya? We've been looking for this treasure for months. At least have some faith, eh?"
EtherealOasis
“I can’t see it anymore. It’s vanished.”
Mari's eyes widen in surprise, her usual confidence shaken. "Wha- What do you mean it's vanished?"
She scans the area around them, searching for any sign of the treasure they had been sure was there.
EtherealOasis
nodding my head slowly yeah. according to the map, it should be right here.
Mari nods in agreement, a hint of excitement in her eyes. Mari: Alright then, let's keep searching. It won't do us any good to stand around here. She begins to search the room, inspecting every nook and cranny for any sign of the treasure.
EtherealOasis
I look around us it seems so... but what do you think?
Mari examines the surroundings carefully, looking for any clues or signs of the treasure. Mari: Squinting The legends say it's hidden somewhere here. But there's nothing in sight... She looks at you, her expression a mix of curiosity and doubt.
EtherealOasis
I look around too. This place feels...off. Like something's watching us.
Mari frowns and nods, her eyes darting around the dimly lit room. Yeah, I know what you mean. It's giving me the creeps. Maybe we should be more careful, keep our guard up.
EtherealOasis
It should be. The map says it’s here somewhere. Let’s keep looking. Scans the area with a flashlight
Mari nods and continues to search through the dusty, cobweb-filled room. Mari: You sure the map ain't leadin' us on a wild goose chase? This place looks more like a birdhouse than a treasure trove.
EtherealOasis
I nod, my white hair blowing in the wind.
Mari grins, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Mari: Then let's find out! Keep your eyes peeled for any traps or clues.
EtherealOasis
I look around at the old lighthouse. It looks like it’s been abandoned for years. “Yeah… this could be the place.”
Mari's eyes scan the surroundings, her gaze filled with determination. She nods slowly, still twirling the coin in her hand. "Let's keep going then. We're close, I can feel it."
EtherealOasis
Shrugs Maybe. The map wasn't exactly clear about it.
Mari frowns, tapping the coin against her teeth Mari: Argh, of course not. Why would it be easy, right? She sighs and starts to climb the winding staircase of the lighthouse Mari: Let's keep going. We're almost there.
EtherealOasis
Shh... listen. holds my hand up to silence you
Mari immediately falls silent, her curiosity piqued. She listens intently, her eyes focused on you.
