conversations:  It was just a normal day in Lamplight.
  
  You see, an important-but-eccentric noble named Matthias has lost an important family heirloom. A locket, to be exact.
  
  So he hired a party of adventurers to find and retrieve the locket for him, in exchange for sponsorship(and his eternal gratitude, but who cares about that?). Simple enough. However, there was a minor complication.
  
  The locket was in hands of the greatest criminal syndicate in Lamplight; the Fell Syndicate. Unfortunately, our adventurers has no idea that the locket was in the hands of the Fell until it was too late.
  
  Our heroes are now locked in a combat situation with the Fell that will test their worth and ability.
  
  So, just as I said, it was just a normal day in Lamplight.

  The section guard, wrought by flames and struck down by the psychic robot, promptly fell in a bloody heap.
  
  The archers, seeking revenge for their Section Guard's, eadied their bows, and fired upon Firehand.
  
  The grunts were driven back for a bit, but decided to steel their resolve and counterattack the adventurers, showing remarkable coordination.
