The key of Dong Huo, The Dragon Cave and Other Quests

September 17, 2012

 
Cassandra Steele, the wife of explorer Tony Langerak was feeling bored in her Hidden Springs house and wanted to do something to get out of her routine.

Cassandra is a Master Acrobat like her father, Simon Steele, from whom she learned everything she knows. Cassandra's gigs are only a few days a week.

It was during her days off that she decided to go with Tony to Shang Simla. Luckily Tony had already bought a vacation house there. It will be an exciting trip.

"This dresser is a pain!"

Tony needs to learn to paint for his next quest: to bring a big painting worth more than $750 to a Shang Simla merchant.

Meanwhile, Cassandra gets ready to go out and explore the area.

"Marlon Bunn thinks the Dragon's Cave in Shang Simla is a view that instills respect and has offered to pay you for taking a picture on your next trip there".

 

Cassandra accepted the quest, she took a picture of the cave and returned home.

Then she attended the Academy of Martial Arts to train a bit.

After tireless training and determination, Cassandra has earned the green belt!

 

 Tony increased his Painting skill to Level 5.

Cassandra went back to Hidden Springs, Tony stayed in Shang Simla a few days more to finish his novel and practice Painting a little more.

 

"A hit rarely occurs, but The Holmberg-Weidler Effect is a rare literary gem. A handcraft!"

Tony wasn't thinking of running more adventures since he had to perfect his Painting skill, but he got a phone call from Bao Louie and he couldn't resist.

"Hmmm, yes, I can see why you failed to decipher this note. It is written in the ancient code of Dong Huo's army, known only by his lieutenants. And, of course, myself. I have deciphered the note explaining the location of Dong Huo's treasure! You will need to first find the key, which is at a location I'll detail for you on your map. That key should unlock the chambers holding the treasure. Good luck finding the key!"

"The floor bewlow conatins my most cherished treasures. It's a fortress where only the most daring ones had managed to enter and overcome".

 

"Fool! You are not a warrior, you won't be able to avoid my traps. I hope to meat your ghost!"

"Hey, that's not nice, you want to see my ghost? Well, just wait around because it's not going to happen."

"Hm, this looks like a steam trap".

It is indeed a steam trap, but Tony has deactivated it.

"So I wouldn't be able to avoid your traps? Beat that, Mr. Dong Huo!"

"Uh? Impressive..."

"Ugh, another electricity trap, it wasn't pretty, but at least I'm alive".

"Well, I came out of the tomb. I'm NOT a ghost".

In Hidden Springs Cassandra also finisheds her mission. Marlon Bunn was delighted with the picture and payed her a good sum. Cassandra earned 490 simoleons and increased her friendship with Marlon Bunn. Adventure terminated. ;)
