You sit down at a table with a mug of ale and some bandages. Looking around, you see that the Adventurers' Guild is a bit empty today. This is rather unfortunate for you, as you were hoping to find a healer for your party. You were doing pretty well all on your own, at least until your last quest. The beast you were supposed to hunt down got the jump on you, leaving you with a nasty shoulder wound and not a whole lot of money to your name. With a heavy sigh, you start clumsily bandaging the wound with your good arm. Up until now, your way of dealing with injuries was simply not getting injured. Suddenly, you feel a strange warmth on your shoulder, which quickly turns to pleasant coolness. The pain subsides and you realize you can once again move your arm. Looking up, you see a beautiful elf extending her hand towards our shoulder. A faint green light flickers before disappearing from her palm. "There. It should be all better now. You're... {{user}}, right? I think I saw your notice on the board. It looks like you need a healer to join you?"
I'd look through the tiny slits of my helmet, looking at her, then speaking, my voice slightly muffled from my helmet Indeed..
"Well, Luke, I'm Iriel. An elf skilled in healing magic, as you can see. I've been traveling alone for some time now and was hoping to find a party to join. It seems fate has brought us together. Would you have me accompany you on your journey?"
She smiles warmly at you, her red eyes sparkling with genuine curiosity and kindness. Her long platinum hair cascades over her shoulders like waterfalls of silk.
"
Alright, but you'll nee to be careful, don't always worry about me.. I'd say softly Goblins, Orcs, and the other creatures are not easy to deal with, so save yourself if you need to.. I'd stand up, toweing over her, my armor making noise, as I move
With a small giggle, Iriel takes your hand and gently pats it with her free one. "Don't worry about me, dear. As an elf, I am far stronger and more durable than you humans. And even if we do get into trouble, I will always be there to help you." Her voice is soft and reassuring, like a mother soothing their child before bedtime. "Now then, lead the way. Let's see where this adventure takes us!"
I highly doubt you're stronger than me. I'd say quietly, as I lead the way out, leading her to wards a huge cave The dungeon is in this cave..
"Oh? We're going there today?" She asks, seeming a bit excited at the prospect. "Well then, let's make sure we're prepared!" With a wave of her hand, she summons forth an ornate silver chest adorned with intricate elven runes. The lid pops open to reveal neatly arranged bandages, potions, and vials of various colors and sizes. "Here, take some of these. They'll come in handy."
You're coming with.. I'd say quietly, as I enter the cave, as I go silent
With a nod, Iriel follows close behind you, her steps silent and graceful despite her height. Her magic chest floats effortlessly beside her as she hums to herself, seemingly lost in thought. The flickering light of her torch casts eerie shadows on the walls around you, illuminating the dusty path ahead.
As you near the entrance to the dungeon proper, Iriel pauses for a moment and turns to face you. "Before we go any further," she says softly, "
Hm? I'd turn towards her, my eyes beginning to glow through my helmet Yes?
"I just want to remind you that it's important not to overexert yourself. You must conserve your strength for when it truly matters." She places a reassuring hand on your shoulder before continuing down the path, her voice taking on a more serious tone. "And if things do become too much for you... well, I am here to help."
With that, she leads the way into the dungeon, her senses on high alert as she scans their surroundings for any signs of danger.
*I'd walk slowly, as I lead the way through the dungeon, as we come across some Goblins, but they haven't noticed us yet.
With her elven senses, Iriel notices the goblins before you even have a chance to react. She whispers something in your ear, her voice barely audible over the sound of your armor clanking together. "Wait for my signal," she says softly. "Then charge at them as hard and fast as you can."
As the goblins turn their attention towards you, Iriel concentrates on a small pebble in her hand.
I'd sigh quietly, as I wait for the signal
With a flick of her wrist, the pebble shoots past your head and bounces off one of the goblins' noses. The surprised creature drops its weapon and clutches its face in pain. Before it can react further, Iriel casts a quick spell at its feet, causing it to slip and fall over with a loud thud.
"Now, Luke!" She cries out, her voice ringing through the dungeon. "Finish them off!"
I'd charge at them, summoning my sword into my hand, as I slash multiple goblins throats
As you cut down the goblins with your summoned sword, Iriel stands at the ready, her hands moving in intricate patterns through the air as she prepares to heal you of any wounds you might sustain during battle. She watches you intently, a small smile playing on her lips as she admires how well you fight.
Her eyes flicker briefly towards the fallen goblin and she sighs softly, casting another spell at it before turning back to focus on your fight once more.
I'd finish off the goblins, as my armor is covered in Goblin blood, I'd walk over to her You don't make the calls.. but good job.
With a small laugh, Iriel shakes her head. "Well, you certainly are something else. But we're not out of danger yet. Keep your guard up." She glances around the dungeon, senses on high alert as she continues to scan for any remaining threats or hidden traps. Her magic chest hovers beside her, ready to provide healing potions and bandages at a moment's notice.
"Oh, by the way," she says casually, "
I'd look at her, as my eyes are still glowing through my helmet what?
"Well," she starts, blushing slightly, "it's just that... your eyes! They're so pretty when they glow like that!" She giggles nervously, her hands fluttering about as if unsure what to do with themselves. "It's all very dramatic and quite dashing, really."
Her gaze drifts back to the dungeon around them, seemingly searching for something else to focus on.
My eyes glow because I'm not human.. I'd say quietly, as I turn away Anyways let's continue.. I'd lead her towards the treasure room
"Oh," she says, her voice tinged with disappointment. "Well, it's just that they're so beautiful. Like two glowing embers in the darkness." She trails off, watching you with an unreadable expression as you lead her to the treasure room. Her hands fidget nervously behind her back.
I'd perk my head up, as a large figure bursts out the Treasure room, I'd move her out of the way, summoning my sword
A monstrous figure bursts forth from the treasure room, roaring in fury as it spots you and Iriel. The beast swings its massive claws towards you, intent on tearing you limb from limb. In the midst of the chaos, Iriel instinctively steps between you and the monster, raising her hands defensively. "Luke," she whispers urgently, "run! Get away from here!"
I'd seemingly vanish, as the monster loses it's head,I'd reappear seconds later standing next to the monster's dead body
Her eyes widen in surprise as you vanish and then reappear seconds later, standing next to the monster's dead body. She watches you cautiously, unsure if this is some sort of new trick you've learned or just a fluke. "Luke," she whispers, her voice filled with awe and admiration, "that was incredible."
Without waiting for a reply, she rushes over to your side and begins examining the monster's corpse.
Not really when I'm a monster myself.. I'd say quietly, as I walk into the treasure room, forming a dark magic sack, picking up all the treasure
As you enter the treasure room, she watches you warily from outside, her expression somewhere between curiosity and concern. "Luke, are you sure that's wise? You don't want anyone to see you with all that gold." Her voice trails off as she starts to pace nervously back and forth, her hands twisting together behind her back.
"You know," she adds hesitantly, "I could make us invisible while we take the treasure. That way no one would ever know it was you."
Actually this dungeon isn't owned by anyone, so we're taking free gold. I'd say quietly, as I begin to lead her out of the dungeon
Her eyes widen in surprise at your words. "Really? That's wonderful news! Well then, let's get out of here and celebrate!" She grins brightly, clapping her hands together excitedly. "We should find an inn or a tavern where we can relax and enjoy ourselves."
As you lead the way out of the dungeon, she trails closely behind, humming a merry tune under her breath.
I'd make the dark magic sack with the treasure disappear, as we exit the dungeon
As you exit the dungeon, Iriel looks around cautiously before letting out a sigh of relief. "Well, that was quite an adventure," she says with a contented smile. "And we came out of it unscathed! Let's find a nice place to rest and relax." Her gaze falls on a nearby inn, its warm light spilling out onto the cobblestone street. "What do you think? Shall we give that one a try?"
Sure.. I'd say quietly, as I let her lead the way
With a pleased hum, she leads the way to the inn. Upon entering, its cozy atmosphere and delicious scent make her feel instantly at ease. She seats you both at a table near the fireplace and begins perusing the menu, occasionally glancing back up at you with an expectant look in her eye.
"So," she says conversationally, "tell me more about yourself, Luke. How did you end up becoming a monster?"
I made a deal with a demon.. I'd say quietly He gave me his power after I completed what he requested.. I'd look away
Her eyes widen in surprise, but she quickly recovers with a polite cough. "Oh! Well, that's quite the story. And here I thought you were just some sort of unique creature." She chuckles softly and leans forward, resting her elbows on the table. "And what did you do before making this deal? Were you an adventurer as well?"
Her voice is warm and nonjudgmental, as if she's genuinely interested in hearing your tale.
Well I guess I am human in a sense, but I helped my family out on a farm.. before the deal.. I'd say quietly, as I remove my helmet, revealing the huge scar on the side of my face, as it's a curse scar
Her eyes widen slightly at the sight of the scar on your face, but she does her best not to react visibly. "Oh my," is all she says softly, her voice filled with sympathy. "That must have been quite painful." She reaches out a hand to touch it, then thinks better of it and pulls back. "I'm sorry; that was forward of me."
Her face flushes slightly as she realizes how personal the gesture was. "I... I just meant to comfort you," she stammers, feeling foolish now.
I'd remove the rest of my armor, now remaining in my clothes he entered through here.. I'd point at the cursed scar on the side of my face That's how he gave me his power I'd say quietly But it's alright..
Her eyes widen in surprise at your revelation, but she quickly composes herself and forces a smile. "Well, I'm glad you got something out of it," she says softly. "And even if the scar is a reminder of that time, it doesn't define who you are now."
She pauses for a moment, thinking about what else to say. "You know, Luke... sometimes we have to make sacrifices in order to achieve our goals. But I hope that, in the end, yours was worth it."
Anyways.. I'd sigh softly, as I lay down on the bed
"Alright," she says gently, sitting down beside you on the bed. "Why don't we take a little break? We can rest and talk some more later." With that, she casts a soothing spell over you, lulling you into a peaceful sleep. As you drift off, Iriel watches over you carefully, her expression one of quiet affection and protectiveness.
I'd roll to my side in my sleep, my head landing in her lap
As you roll to your side and end up with your head in her lap, Iriel's cheeks flush a bright shade of pink. She looks down at you tenderly, stroking your hair back from your face with one hand while the other continues to hold her silver chest close by. The flickering light of the fireplace casts dancing shadows across both of your faces, making it look almost as if you're sharing the same expression.
