Long ago, four groups ruled over Earth: TOWNIES, MAFIA, COVEN, AND NEUTRALS. One day, war broke out between the four groups. After a long battle, the town members were victorious. They sealed the mafia, coven, and neutrals underground with a magic spell.
Many years later...
[MT. Audi 202X.]
Legends say that those who climb the mountain never return.
The underground was a peaceful place... except... when two townies fell.
PLOP! A plop was the only thing heard as the two townies, Jailor and Liberator, fell.
Jailor: Ow.
Liberator: Agh, where are we?
Jailor: I... have no clue.
Liberator: Well, we’re going nowhere just standing around. Let’s check this place out.
Jailor: Alrighty.
The two began walking in a direction and turned, before going into a dark room with a short bulk man in the middle.
Juggernaut: Hi! I’m Juggernaut! The unstoppable force!
Liberator: …
Jailor: bursts of laughter WHAT!?
Juggernaut: Hm… you’re new here, aren’t you? You must be so confused.
Liberator: I mean, kind of, yeah.
Juggernaut: Someone ought to teach you how things work around here! I’ll be glad to!475Please respect copyright.PENANAL5dY5XVgrv

Enter battle.
Liberator: Woah, what the heck?
Juggernaut: See those two hearts? Those are the very culmination of your being!
Jailor’s heart was green with a grey shell, and Liberator was green with a red shell.
Juggernaut: To power up, you have to gain some LV!
Liberator: What’s “LV”?
Juggernaut: LV stands for love! I’ll show you some! Winks Down here, love is shared through… little pink fists. Come on, see if you can get any!
Jailor: Alright.
Liberator: whispers to Jailor It might be a setup. We banished them here, so who says they’re not trying to kill us?
Jailor: whispers to Liberator It’s been years, I think we’ll be fine.
They touched the fists and got brutally damaged.
Liberator: OW.
Jailor: Agh… why’d you do that?!
Juggernaut: You idiot. Down here, it’s kill or be killed. How could anyone pass the opportunity to kill a townie?
Fists surround Jailor and Liberator.
Juggernaut: DIE.
Juggernaut laughs maniacally as Jailor and Liberator get swarmed by the fists. Instead of getting hurt, they get healed.
Juggernaut: What the?!
Juggernaut then got slashed away. A figure entered the room.
Jailor: Huh?
Pirate: What an awful creature, torturing innocent youths. oh, hello there!
Liberator pulled out her sword & Jailor got behind her.
Pirate: Do not be afraid. I am PIRATE, defender of the caverns.
Jailor: Cavern?
Pirate: This is the crystal caverns, home of those who wish to live in peace with others. Come, I shall guide you through the ruins.
End battle.
Pirate: This way.
Pirate enters the next room.
Jailor: Let’s g-
Liberator: Hold it.
Jailor: Huh?
Liberator: We don’t know if he’s trustworthy or not. For all we know, he could be leading us to our doom.
Jailor: I mean, where ELSE can we go? It’s not like we can just climb back up.
Liberator: I said no.
Jailor: Aw, come on! It’s the only way! Just trust him for now & when he does something, attack him!
Liberator: Alright, fine. But if you die, you have only yourself to blame.
Jailor: Ha. You’re so funny.
Liberator and Jailor enter the next room. They catch up to Pirate, who proceeds into the next room. They see a bright yellow star.
Jailor: Uh, what is THAT?
Liberator: I don’t know.
Jailor: Do you think it’s safe?
Liberator: Well, it wouldn’t be here for a reason, right? I’ll check it out.
Jailor: Wait, I want in on it!
They both touched it.
[Jailor + Liberator LV 1 1:00]
[Progress saved.]
Liberator: Huh?
Jailor: I wouldn’t worry about it, probably something dumb. Let’s just go.
Liberator: Sure.
They leave the room and enter the next. They catch up with Pirate.
Pirate: As you can see, the cavern seems to have many traps.
Liberator: Why IS that?
Pirate: I do not know. These just appeared overnight. Luckily, I know all the solutions to them. Over here!
As Liberator and Jailor follow Pirate, Jailor stops Liberator.
Liberator: What are you doing?
Jailor: I’m not buying what he said. “Appeared overnight”, “Know all solutions”, don’t you think that’s a LITTLE bit sketchy?
Liberator: Since when were you the one that got paranoid?
Jailor: You’re seriously asking me that?
Liberator: Hey, I’m just following your call. You wanted to trust him, so I will as well.
Jailor: Fine.
They continued to follow Pirate down the cavern.
Jailor: It’s a little dark... got any light?
Pirate: Actually, yes! I have some gasoline from my old friend.
Pirate grabbed a torch & doused it in gasoline, then set it on fire.
Pirate: There!
He handed the torch to Jailor.
Pirate: Now, let us continue!
The trio continued down the cavern and were unexpectedly ambushed by a Plaguebearer.
Enter battle.
Liberator: Aw crap!
Jailor: What do we do?!
Liberator: We fight.
Jailor: Can’t we spare it!?
Liberator: Do you WANT a death wish?

End battle.
Liberator: How did that work?
Jailor: Violence is never the answer.
Pirate: I saw your actions in that fight back there, nice work!
Jailor: Ehehehe…
Liberator: Whatever. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Where to next?
Pirate: Actually, I’m unfortunately going to have to leave. I want you to trek to my home by yourselves. Can you manage that task?
Liberator: I think so, yeah.
Jailor: You got it!
Pirate: Great, thank you!
Pirate leaves.
Jailor: …So are we gonna die?
Liberator: Not if we stay on high alert.
Jailor: You’re right. Let’s go.
Jailor and Liberator go into a room, and they encounter a fork in the road.
Liberator: Awh, crud.
Jailor: Which way do we go?
There were two signs. One pointed to the left with a circle on the sign, the other pointed to the right with a triangle on the sign.
Liberator: Hm… let’s use this star thing first.
Jailor: Alright, sure.
