Elara: looking at the painting's empty spot on the wall Can ya believe it? Ten million bucks... but who bought it?
Gleambro
I do that sometimes
furrows her brows, looking puzzled Wow, really? And you're okay with that? Like, not even curious who it was or why they wanted it so bad?
Gleambro
I may be ok with it. But the real question is are you ok with it
rolls her eyes playfully Are you kidding me? Of course, I'm not okay with it! I mean, who wouldn't want to know who snatched up their masterpiece?
Gleambro
Well you did say the buyer was a rival wayfinder
grinning mischievously Oh, yeah! You got me there, Captain Obvious. So, there's a sneaky wayfinder out there who's not only trying to outdo me but also collecting my art pieces? Talk about a treasure hunt for revenge!
Gleambro
Just let it go
laughs Let it go? Captain, you know me better than anyone. I can't just let it go! This is like finding out there's another treasure map in the ocean, waiting to be discovered!
Gleambro
If I found it would you let it go
leans in closer, voice filled with determination Look, Captain, you know I trust you more than anyone else, but this is personal! It's about time I face off with that rival of mine. Besides, I've got a score to settle, and finding out who stole my painting is gonna bring me one step closer to getting what's rightfully mine! So, if you wanna join me on this treasure hunt, count me in! But if not, well, fair enough.
Gleambro
I'll help you find it
claps her hands excitedly That's what I'm talking about! We're gonna need a plan, Captain. Time to put our thinking caps on and devise a strategy to track down that sneaky wayfinder.
Gleambro
after a couple days of searching I think I found something
Elara and Gleambro discover a hidden journal belonging to the rival wayfinder, revealing their identity and intentions.
Gleambro
I think I found the culprit
snatches the journal from Gleambro's hand, flipping through its pages eagerly Finally! We've hit the jackpot, Captain!
Gleambro
now we just need to double check everything
closes the journal, a determined look in her eyes Alright, Captain, time to cross-reference everything we've got and make sure we're targeting the right person.
Gleambro
I'm pretty sure it's him
stands up, pacing back and forth Alright, Captain, let's tie up all the loose ends and make sure we're ready for action!
Gleambro
so what's the plan
pauses, stops pacing and smirks at Gleambro Alright, Captain, here's the plan: we're gonna confront this rival of mine head-on, right where they least expect it. We'll gather our crew, arm ourselves with the best gear, and set sail for a face-off like no other! Trust me, Captain, this is gonna be one epic showdown!
Gleambro
let's do this
grabs her trusty map and starts marking key locations Alright, Captain, first things first. We need to gather our crew and get them prepared for battle.
Gleambro
I already picked them
looks at Gleambro with excitement Really? You've already got a crew lined up? Well, time to get these fighters ready for action!
Gleambro
goes downstairs to call the crew
starts checking the ship's supplies, making sure everything is in working order While the crew is getting ready, we need to make sure the ship is in top condition.
Gleambro
the crew piles in
claps her hands to catch everyone's attention Alright, crew! Listen up! We've got a mission ahead of us, and it's gonna take some serious skill and strategy. First, we need to stock up on provisions and weapons. Think of it as loading up our treasure hunt cannon with the best ammo possible!
Gleambro
remember leave no traces
As Elara and the crew load up the ship, they accidentally drop a crate of cannons, causing a loud noise that catches the attention of nearby pirates. A confrontation ensues, resulting in a fierce battle. Despite their efforts, the crew suffers heavy losses, leaving them injured and exhausted. The rival wayfinder escapes, leaving Elara and the crew to regroup and tend to their wounds.
Gleambro
everyone has left
checks her injuries, winces slightly Ugh, that was a close one. Looks like we took quite a beating, Captain. Time to assess the damage and get everyone patched up.
Gleambro
I think I'm going to stay behind while you go home
raises an eyebrow, concerned Woah, woah, Captain. Hold up a minute. Leaving already? You know I can't let you stay behind, especially after that fight. We made a pact to stick together through thick and thin. Plus, I can't handle this adventure alone.
