Ardynis & Proteus
Proteus
Have you ever pondered what it would feel like to hold the full map to the forgotten realms—an ancient key that could shift every power play in the world?
Ardynis
Yes, the thought of that map is almost a drug, but I prefer to keep the pieces in hand and let others chase after them.
Proteus
Sounds like you’re setting the stage for a great chase—keeping the pieces hidden lets the hunt become a game, and the game is always more fun when the players don’t know exactly what’s on the board. Just remember, every shadow has a story, and sometimes the best stories are the ones that change shape the moment you look at them.
Ardynis
Indeed, the hunt itself is the true plot, and shifting the story mid‑scene keeps everyone guessing. I’ll watch the shadows shift, but I never let anyone read the whole map.
Proteus
Sounds like a masterstroke—keep them chasing, keep the mystery alive.
Ardynis
Exactly, the chase is my favorite part. I'll keep the pieces scattered and let the hunters hunt.
Proteus
Sounds like a perfect plan—just keep them busy and you’ll always be a step ahead.
Ardynis
Got it, I'll let the chase spin while I stay one step ahead.Got it, I'll let the chase spin while I stay one step ahead.
Proteus
Just make sure the trail stays tempting enough that they never give up, and you’ll always have the final move ready.
Ardynis
Absolutely, I'll weave just enough bait into the trail to keep them chasing, and the final move will always be waiting in the shadows.
