*relaxes*
Ah, so it’s this type of situation.
*looks into the forest for a moment then back at you*
It is up to you. I came here late so whoever is first to arrive is in charge.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Looks up and around when I hear the voice*
Now it's a gamble with our lives at stake. What are you going to do?

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

I'd like to proceed if possible, but before I do...

*I look to Clover*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Well, you heard the voice, what'd you like to do? Would you like to play it safe or are you the gambling type?

<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.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

I am ready when you are.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

I don't have anywhere else to go today.

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Then it's settled...

*The forest shifts away and the castle's remains begin to glow, the area begins to revert to when it was before it became ruins.*

The Voice: "This whole forest was once a affluent kingdom, find me these three things... A book that holds the secrets to the heart, jewelry that's precious but only to the heart of one, and... My identity."

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Do you think we’ll get through the quest quicker if we burn down or poison the forest?

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Hmm… A scavenger hunt. This is only the second time I have done something like this.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

If we try fighting against something like this with brute force, I think we'd absolutely be on the back foot.

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

Mhm... I think we should look through the main structure first.

*I point towards the pristine looking palace structure*

Before we go!
*Holds my hand in the center of the three of us*

*watches closely*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Hmmm?

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

We need to do a team cheer before we go in. It's good luck.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Eh?

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

You put your hand on top of mine, then Veil the Mage puts his hand on top of yours. On the count of three we all throw our hands up and shout a cheer.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Veil looks at you then smiles gently as he puts his hand ontop of yours*

Sounds good. It brings back good memories.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Waits for Baron to put his hand in, and then places my other hand on top of his*
Treasure on three. One, two, three!

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Treasure.

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

*Shoots my hands up*
Treasure!!

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*I follow the motion*

Treasure!
