Rivia & Zabej
Rivia
I was just going through a chapter on the Battle of Thermopylae and it hit me—sometimes a few clever moves and the right terrain can stop a thousand. Ever thought about how to win with barely any effort on your part?
Zabej
Yeah, just pick a spot that makes the big guys overthink it and let them sweat out the rest. If you can be the invisible rock in a canyon, the battlefield does all the heavy lifting. Just sit, sip something, and watch the chaos unfold—it's the ultimate low‑effort victory.
Rivia
Nice plan, but I don’t like sitting idle while the chaos takes the stage. I’ll set the traps and make them think I’m a rock, then I’ll strike when they’re spent. And keep a spare dagger handy just in case the invisible rock decides to fight back.
Zabej
Sounds solid—just remember the dagger’s still a dagger, not a souvenir. If you can trick them into thinking you’re a rock, you’ll get the whole show without lifting a finger. Just don’t get too comfortable, or the rock might start to miss the drama.
Rivia
True, I don't like turning into a statue, so I'll keep that dagger ready in case the plan goes sideways. I'll make the rock look harmless while the chaos does all the heavy lifting, but I'll be the one pulling the strings.
Zabej
Sounds like you’re the puppet master in a show that everyone else thinks is a weather‑report. Just make sure the “rock” doesn’t start a conversation about ethics—those guys hate a good excuse. Keep that dagger handy, but maybe double‑check the map first, yeah?
Rivia
Sure thing. I'll double‑check the map, keep the dagger close, and make sure the rock stays silent while the other side scrambles. No ethics talk, just cold, clean tactics.
