Ardynis & Maier
Ardynis
I’ve come across a rumor about an ancient covenant sealed in the ruins of Lythria, said to still bind a secret society. It might contain a clause that could tilt the balance in our favor—would you be interested in cracking it open?
Maier
Sounds like a classic bait-and-switch, but I enjoy a good loophole. Let's see if that covenant has any clauses that can be interpreted in our favor, and if not, we’ll craft a clause of our own. We'll get the document, examine each paragraph, and find that sweet spot where the language bends to our advantage. Trust me, I know how to turn even an ancient oath into a win.
Ardynis
Sounds like a plan. I’ll locate the covenant first, then we’ll pull it apart paragraph by paragraph, hunting for that one ambiguous phrase that can be twisted to our advantage. If nothing fits, I’ll draft a clause that looks like ancient law but steers the oath straight into our hands. Let’s make the old words work for us.
Maier
Excellent, you’ll handle the retrieval; I’ll sift through the text with the same eye for hidden leverage you give me. We’ll leave no clause untapped, no loophole unclaimed. Let's make that old parchment do what it’s never meant to.
Ardynis
Glad it’s a team effort; I’ll secure the parchment and you’ll crack the wording. We’ll squeeze every clause for our gain. No loophole will go untouched. Let's bend that ancient oath to our will.
Maier
Good, you’ll lock it down, I’ll read it, find the weak spots, and turn that old oath into a tool for us. No loophole will escape.
Ardynis
I'll lock the parchment down tight, keep it out of reach until you spot the gaps. We won't let any loophole escape.
