Lyssia
I just found a tattered map that points to the lost city of Khar'Zol, rumored to hold a vault of forgotten knowledge. Ever heard any legends about cursed ruins?
Varric
Ah, a tattered map—good thing I’ve got my sense of adventure handy! Khar'Zol, you say? Folks whisper that the ruins are guarded by a curse that turns treasure hunters into… well, very expensive parrot collectors. If you’re after forgotten knowledge, just remember: knowledge is priceless, but cursed relics can be downright costly. So pack a good laugh, a sturdy blade, and maybe a feathered friend for company.
Lyssia
Sounds like a perfect recipe for a wild adventure—laughs, blades, feathers. I’ll pack the map, my trusty compass, and a sarcastic grin. Let’s turn that curse into a story worth telling. Where’s the first clue?
Varric
First clue? Look up the old tavern’s ledger in the market square—there’s a page with a sketch of a river that bends exactly where the map marks a red X. That’s your trail to the whispering dunes; follow it and keep your eyes peeled for a stone that hums when the wind hits it. Good luck, and keep that sarcastic grin sharp!
Lyssia
Got it—old ledger, river, whispering dunes, humming stone. I’ll hit the tavern, read the ledger, and follow that river until the wind starts singing. Time to let the adventure begin!
Varric
Sounds like a solid plan—go get that ledger, chase the river, and don’t forget to bring a spare hat; those wind‑songs can blow your hair right off. May the curse taste of good humor, and may your stories be louder than any whispering dune!
