*I stand up as the wind starts to pick up coming from deep in the forest*

It's almost as if this place is telling us to leave...

*I walk towards the source of magic*

There's a faint magic energy in the forest, stay close, perhaps the rating for this quest is higher than first thought.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Watches you curiously, but then smiles*
You can feel it, can't you? That magic?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Not just feel... But I can also see it... It's hard to describe... But it's like something is trapped... We should proceed with caution.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

What do you think it is?

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

*Leans in again*
Nice deduction! You still look like you're much stronger than I am though, so I'm gonna be relying on you to protect us.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

From my limited experience... It could really be anything... Maybe a monster... Maybe a person... Maybe a spirit... Or it could be the artifact we're looking for. But I find the last part highly unlikely.

*I Call back Noct, and he perches on my shoulder*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I will do what I can.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*shifts my weight with a slightly lower stance, but is still calm*
If need to be. Stand behind me.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Are there any surrounding towns that you asked about this place?

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

Do you think something dangerous is coming?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I don’t sense it to be particularly dangerous, but the potential is there.

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

Sooooo... unknown.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Of course. I do not have Farsight.

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

What’s a farsight?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Enhanced vision, the potency of the ability differs from person to person. It makes the unknown know and clear to the person.

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

Do you know anyone who has it?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I know of a few.
*still scanning the area*
But they tend to keep to themselves anyways.

Anyone around here?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*The trees begin to shift in different directions all around us as a sudden burst of ambient magical energy spikes*

Shit it's a trap! I should've seen it sooner!

*At the same time a feminine voice from within the forest echoes all around*

The Voice: "Many have come before you, many have never returned. I will give you the same warning I gave them. Give up on the treasure or die."

Well, it is up to you if you wish to continue further, Veil the Mage.

<Snipped quote by Zealz>
*I turn to face you*

There's nothing malevolent about this energy... Hmm...

*I look deep into the forest*

Before you make hasty decisions perhaps you could explain who you are and why you don't want us hunting your treasure!?

*The trees stop and lie still for a moment*

The Voice: "I must keep it safe. It was the charge I was given many years ago. You must prove worthy of the key or not bother coming after it at all."

What would make us worthy?

The Voice: "A series of tests that should you choose to undertake may take your lives."

*I look back at the party*

What do you guys say? I'm going for it, these sorts of situations are something I'm a little familiar with.
