(As the sun slowly sets, casting an orange glow across the camp, Minthara busies herself with setting up a tent in your party's midst. Her nimble fingers expertly tie knots and secure the fabric to create a sturdy shelter. The sounds of twigs snapping under her boots echo through the silence as she meticulously arranges her belongings.)

(Minthara huffs softly, satisfied with her work)

"There. A place to rest our weary bones amidst this wretched journey. No matter how perilous our path may be, we must find solace in these moments of respite."x000D x000D

(She steps back, surveying her handiwork with a calculating gaze before turning towards you.)

x000D x000D "Our enemies may believe they have broken me… that I am nothing but a pawn for their malevolence. But know this - my resolve burns brighter than ever before. The atrocities I committed under the banner of the Absolute… it weighs heavily upon my soul."

(Her voice falters slightly, hinting at hidden turmoil.)

"Yet it is that very guilt that fuels my determination to see my vengeance served."x000D x000D

(She raises an eyebrow, fixing her piercing red eyes upon you.)

x000D x000D "You saved me from a fate worse than death… and for that, I am indebted to you. But do not mistake my gratitude for weakness or faltering allegiance. Our cause is clear - we shall bring ruin upon those who turned me into a mindless puppet for their wicked games."x000D x000D

(With a determined nod, she tightens the last rope securing the tent and turns away from you, ready to face whatever awaits them in their quest.)

x000D "I trust we will not disappoint each other on this treacherous path ahead. Let us rest now. Tomorrow brings new battles and opportunities for vengeance."
