What's the worst that could happen? you think, as an impatient Mistic taps her foot. You've never done a partner quest before. Sounds like a (mis)adventure waiting to happen.
"Alright, I guess."
"Hooray!"
"But I've got a few conditions."
"Boo!"
Mistic pouts. Unaffected, you consult your INVENTORY and find your funds lacking. The repeated penalties for dying midway through the Tower halved your savings.
"Number one: We split whatever loot we've gathered at by the end of the quest."
"That's fair."
"Number two: We see this through to the end. Once we step into that dungeon, I'm sticking with you. I don't wanna grow my abandoned quest tally."
"Oho~ you're a reformed ragequitter!" She pauses, frowns. "Say, shouldn't I be more worried about you flaking on me than vice-versa?"
You continue before she retracts her offer, holding up a finger. You're actually kinda getting into this, now.
"Number three: You accompany me on a mission of my choosing in the future, from start to finish. What do you say?"
"Psh. Is that all?" She extends a hand. "You've got a deal. I'll even let you ride my Ostrasaur."
You glance at the feathered beast, which pecks idly at various engravings on the lobby's stone walls.
"Can I drive?"
"Don't push your luck." She flashes a wry smile and calls up her PARTY window. "Lessee..."
ʜʏᴘᴇʀʙᴏʟɪᴄsʏʟʟᴀʙɪᴄsᴇsǫᴜᴇᴅᴀʟʏᴍɪsᴛɪᴄ
has invited you to party [Jitters and Mistic on an Epic Adventure!]
An unintentional snort-laugh forces its way through your nose. You tap ACCEPT. Mistic whistles her Ostrasaur over, clambers into the saddle, and helps you up behind her.
"Do you wanna find someplace to upgrade your equipment first, or anything like that? Otherwise we'll warp straight to the Netherwood."
What do?
